| Ka-pi96 said: Interesting you should say that.... maybe we should bring Tomb Raiders timed exclusivity into this discussion? That's pretty much an exclusive marketing deal and is (in Square Enix's eyes at least) very important to the success of the game. Yet how much criticism did that come under?
Yes, ok it probably is more serious. But that's a business thing between companies, why should us regular people who just play their games care about that? |
That came in for Criticism from the Users.. Sony just said they didnt know and they hoped it would. So again, totally different from the situation people are complaining about. And Yes its still the userbase, but what MS has done in both counts is not particularly good.
We care because this is a gaming discussion forum first and foremost... some people are saying its ok and funny, but others are saying its not ok. That is a good discussion to have.
I personally dont think its ok (the ad was funny but from a business point of view it was wrong to do it). I also thought the TR deal was dodgy too, that was restricting a game that had already had previous games coming out on a platform just because of money, but that wasnt just an MS problem that was a SE problem. I hate those types of exclusivity deals... DLC I dont care as much about... but it is annoying.
