New IP, old IP, doesn't matter, the definition of moneyhatting remains the same. And if you want an old IP that was moneyhatted by Sony, look no farther than GTA on PS2 (timed exclusive for III/VC/SA).

Point is, Sony paid to have a game come exclusively to their platform, and not to others. If they felt Tomb Raider was so important to PS gamers, they could have paid for the development, publishing, and advertising like MS did. The end. Moneyhatting is moneyhatting, and they've both done it, whether it be to get an entire game or some exclusive content.



@bolded. Couldn't disagree more. That's not a viable option for any company. They can't start moneyhatting Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Tekken, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, Assassins' Creed, COD, Battlefield, Dark Souls, etc. I mean when does it stop? They are way too many important third party titles to fund.

but sony used to, some of those games were at one point synonymous with the playstation brand. remember the shit storm when final fantasy came to xbox?
