Did Sony really money hat for FFVII? I history read was that Capcom was going to put in on the N64 but when Nintendo when with carts for the system Square took it to Sony and put in on the PS1. Its not the same as paying for the exclusive to keep it off other systems.
Which leads me to a point I want to make about the term moneyhatting in general. I find it to be unhelpful to just to refer to everything as moneyhatting when talking about game exclusivity. When a company rescues a game like Nintendo with did Bayonetta 2 or Devil's Third that's a bit different than What MS and SE did with the Rise of the Tomb Raider. Also there's timed exclusive games that companys paid for sometimes and people throw that in together with permanent exclusives as moneyhatting.
