So you're saying Respawn flat out lied to us when they said they didn't know EA sold console exclusivity of Titanfall to MS?
Either way, I don't think Activision is ruing anything. Titanfall was a game that was overhyped and under delivered at every corner. I also think people overhyped Respawn as well. There is no doubt these guys can make an amazing game since they made COD4 and later on MW2. But we also have to remember that these guys made MW2, one of the worst FPS in terms of balance. While initially MW2 seemed like a fine experience, but by the end of its life cycle everyone got fed up of all the BS that was in the game and the now prevalent COD hate started. I still love MW2 as my first COD game, but I simply can not deny that it was the COD infested with the most BS to date. As such, these guys have yet to prove themselves with another game that can live up to and raise the standards they set with COD4. So far imo they haven't done so.

One question I would like to talk about is this over hype part gamers keep talking about. The game was advertised, how was that hype. People played demos of the game and enjoyed it, how can that be considered hyped. So what is the difference between hype and advertisement. Is it just the person opinion that is the hype part not the game itself.
Maybe its just me but when gamers talk about hype it seems to me its their own personal perception of a game then anything else.

If you look at the game pre-release, a lot of gamers as well as the media was dubbing Titanfall as the next big FPS, the game that would dethrone COD and in general raise the FPS bar for next gen. That's where all the hype came from.
Heck even from a sales perspective, TF was expected to be the game that would make Xbones fly out of shelves and make it get back on par with PS4.
