Why would they chose PS4 rather than PC first? Well... why would Dark Souls 1 and 2 also release on consoles about a month before PC? Why did Batman release on consoles before PC? Hmmmm........ maybe because developers tend to see a higher RoI on console games than on PC games? Maybe there are nearly 0 concerns with piracy on PS4? Maybe they got to be on stage at E3 getting all that free publicity from Sony instead of doing a stealth release on Steam? As far as I know their studio remains independent and will release the game on other platforms. It seems like the more open approach from Sony this generation has courted MANY indy studios, not just Hello Games. Or are you saying Sony is moneyhatting that exclusivity? If so, please show me such evidence. |
I don't think Sony moneyhatted it in the same sense that Microsoft outrighted bought timed exclusivity of Tomb Raider, but I do think the PS4 getting priority over PC has a lot to do with Sony helping Hello Games out after their office got flooded.
