"Monyhatting" has different situations, only one of them is bad. As I was saying in some other thread, there is nothing wrong in co-operating with third parties. How it is done is a different story.
First situation: funding a new ip, or/and co-develop it, discover new possibilities (BloodBorne & The Order).
Second situation: funding an ip that was abandoned and would have never existed without that funding (Bayonetta 2).
Third situation: moneyhatting to get exclusivity deal for an ip that was multi-platform before, and the new game was announced to be in development long ago before the exclusivity deal (Tomb Raider). It was clearly meant to be multi-platform, otherwise it would have been announced as an exclusive at E3.
Microsoft did what was best for the company, which is understandable. Even though I disagree with the principal (or lack of).
