Here's what's hard for gaming fans to do: We need to stop looking at these deals purely through the lens of someone who wants to play the game. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are companies that pay its employees and stay in business by making profits on video games. They don't necessarily think about success as units sold. They have to think of it in terms of profit.

 

I stopped reading there...... 

So they are basically telling "gamers" to stop thinking about the games.... or of the games that are basically made for them and we should instead think about how much profit the publishers want to make? Like are the fucking serious?

I really want to know if they actually believe the nonsense they ae saying. MS has a timed exclusive, its a stupid idea considering how well the PS4 is selling now and that the PS4 could very well be over 22M sold to the XB1's 12M by the time this game gets released. They should just let it rest and lets move on... this kinda PR spinning is simply insulting to say the least.

Well if you're concerned with how these decisions are made and why some games you liked never got sequels, then you'll know that they weren't profitable. 

Sorry what are you talking about? This isn't about why games didn't get sequels. Or how some games don't do as well as others. This is about them saying that they expect everyone unhappy about how a game that did well, primarily cause of them, that is obviously getting a sequel should rather than be unhappy  try and understand that a platform holder gave them money to delay when the game comes to the user base that attributed to a majority of the games sales.

Its not like SE was in trouble and couldn't make the game, its not like the previous title wasn't a commercial success, its not like the game sold beter on xbox platforms.... besides greed their simply is no reason for this partnership. None. As a gaming media outlet.. they should be on top of these facts and not contributing to the blatant PR spin. Thats the only problem I have with what they are saying. I don't care about it going timed exclusive, its not my problem; will still buy the game much later in 2016 (after all I waited for a remastered edition to buy the first one).
