Hmmmm, never looked at it that way. Maybe the companies that took money from MS were already having issues with cash. Maybe thats why they went exclusive so easily, they simply needed the money.
I think this gen is going to be a rude awaking for a lot of 3rd party devs that are going exclusive.
So far i have not seen any of the devs benefit from it.


Without funding they wouldn't even have a chance to make a game so its better than going bankrupt and closing down.

Also, Insomniac did go multiplatform but EA forced a lot of changes and we saw the final product with FUSE. MS has given them the freedom to create whatever they wanted and not some generic dude bro shooter.

The KI studio got bought up after making the game by Amazon.  If it wasnt for MS double Helix wouldn't have gotten the funding and IP to create a  next gen game.

Respawn needed Help to create Titanfall. If it wasn't for MS Titanfall wouldn't have released. Thanks to MS now they are a hugely successfull and will be able to support themselves going forward.
