And you are way off topic. This has nothing to do with Microsoft's lack of first-party games, and everything to do with money-hatting. Why should one company get away with it while the other gets grilled? Just because Sony and Nintendo have more first-party titles doesn't make them any more or less excused in regards to moneyhatting. It's a business, corporations don't play friends with each other. Microsoft knows that its best bet is to help develop and publish games from third parties as timed exclusives, so it does just that. It's not a weak business practice, if it was all the corporations wouldn't do it. And you really think that anyone in the industry is innocent? Sony helped develop and publish the Ratchet and Clank games and the Resistance games, and now is doing the same with Street Fighter 5. Nintendo helped out with plenty of Rare titles, and with Bayonetta 2 (which had only Nintendo to turn to, in the end). Microsoft is doing it with Tomb Raider, a franchise that needs all the help it can get to take off in an industry that already has a similar game that is much more of a powerhouse (Uncharted). |
I was replying to your comment about people getting off MS back.lol the lack of paying for first party in favor of paying for timed DLC and third party games was the topic from your comment.
