Err... no, he said "probably not". And then went on to talk about how they approach indie game developers and can provide financial support. aka a moneyhat. Maybe you didn't read the whole interview? Idk. |
or aka helping fund the game's development? You know....like the whole situation of "if Microsoft didn't come in an help Respawn, Titanfall wouldn't exist" or "if Nintendo didn't help Platinum, Bayonetta 2 wouldn't exist"?
Maybe?? Just maybe??
It makes no sense to say "probably not" then say "yea we do" 2 seconds later.
I read that entire interview, and what I got from it was that in terms of exclusivity, when it came to AAA games, it was "partnerships that worked" (ala Destiny DLC and marketing). Those "partnerships" I believe are moneyhats...but they're for DLC and stuff. Not the entire game. And for indies, it was "we make a platform friendly for indies" with no "silly rules", providing financial support (which I believe means helping with development costs, which MS fans have no problems with via Titanfall), or "having someone on stage at E3"...the end result of which ends with PS exclusivity because the indie devs just find it more appealing to work with PS4.
But no...let's just keep bashing them by saying that he said the exact opposite of the sensationalist clickbait article title. Even though he didn't, and even that "probably not" was about outright exclusivity, which was the belief at the time of the interview because of the Tomb Raider announcement
