They offered to pay for the Xbox version. They are trying to use the same excuse as Sony. Capcom is going under and SE isn't.

I wish you people would just get off of MS's back.

EVERYONE MONEYHATS. GET OVER IT.

Sorry I sound angry, I'm just sick of people crushing on one company when another does the same thing. There is no excuse either way, it's just as much a part of the industry as buying developers. It happens. Whatever. Just be happy this is a timed exclusive and will arrive on PS4 eventually.

I think people are on MS back more because they are the only company who pays for third party games instead of their own first party games.Nintendo and Sony have a large list of first party unlike MS.

If by "paying" you mean 'help in developing and publishing the game", then both Sony and Nintendo do it. Sony does it with plenty of indies that will never make it to the One and Nintendo did it recently with Bayonetta 2, which will almost certainly be a Wii U exclusive. 

Just be happy that it it's only timed exclusive. This is a practice that will never go away, since devs will always be appreciative of a company helping fund their game.
