Sony and Microsoft don't have to pay a dime for the vast majority of 3rd party games either, save for the exclusive or timed-exclusive content.


That's every single big release so far in one way or another. Destiny? Advertising parternship (Sony pays $$$), W_D? Same thing. CoD? Advertising partnership (this time M$ pays the $$$). AssCreed? Same thing. The only games exempt from this are small budget release (which are next to nonexistant), Shadows of Mordor, and 1st party exclusives.

M$ and Sony are in a pissing contest over 3rd party titles, where the piss is streams of millions of dollars in advertising rights.

But they don't pay to have those games on their console. That's completely free.
