So you're saying Zampellas lied? Lol.

 

He straight up said it was always exclusive at launch (we now know that this was due to MS helping out). MS paid to have the PS version cancelled, that's the issue, not the fact that it was supposed to be timed (that was completely reasonable) 

"It has been revealed in Geff’s final hour of titanfall, that Sony had multiple opportunities  to  get the game on their platform but failed to due so, and Microsoft funded the rest of the games development." Geoff's final hour.

You're dropping titans on your feet homie.

Zampella would be a dummy to say that he agreed to exclusivity if he ever wanted to create a mega selling franchise.

We're talking about a community that doesn't waste a chance to make petition to bring competition exclusives to their console. Or bother devs about their games. Zampella got called traitor on his tweeter page.


So just to be clear, you're telling me that Keigly knows more than Zampella? Or that Zampella lied? Because either one of those is absurd.

 

As I said before, yes MS funded the fame hence it's timed exclusiveness, that's reasonable since it was probably what they agreed on. But then MS moneyhatted it into being a full exclusives (or rather moneyhatted it to keep it of PS consoles). That's where the problem lies

Do gamers wake up one day and figure out that video games are a business.  There is no problem.  MS and Sony are not charities and they do not fund anything unless they get something in return.  Lets think this through.  You fund a project for limited exclusivity.  You see the project is well received and you offer a company full exclusive which benefits your platform and the other company takes the money.  As a business, why would MS care for PS only gamers.  If anything, they would want to make those PS only gamers become duel console owners.

In the end, you nor I really know exactly how the whole deal went down and what MS offered for full exclusitity.  Hell, we do not know if MS had a clause when they funded the project if they could go full exclusive.  It really comes down to the fact that MS funded the project and for the first game its exclusive to their platform.  It saved the project and MS gained a solid FPS in the process.
