Aren't MS footing the entire bill for SO? Both for the game itself and marketing?

Pretty sure i read that somewhere in the XB Nation thread today.


This is what I said in my OP, but the article try to sound like it's just because of IP ownership (and if it is exclusive to one platform, what difference ownership of the IP makes???).


it makes a big difference. if insomniace ever got another deal or decided to make another game. Microsoft cant continue with the franchise. the only way they would do so is by buying the IP. same with what happened with gears, which means probably spending a lot of money just to get the rights to the franchise. 


That is a what-if case as the same as if the publisher decides to make a different studio makes the game then they won't be able to work on it. And probably MS have somethng in the contract to warranty sequels in case of sucess.
