Now, that's why they approached us because they said 'we think you've got something that competes in that Mario space and we think Mario's the thing to kill ... We see that space. We want that audience. We love Oddworld so why don't you get on this bandwagon? And we might give the box away'," Lanning explained to GamesIndustry.biz. "So now you're like, 'look, if you're going to give the box away, you're going to win. If you're going to win, we want to be on board'." |
Seems like Lanning got conned into an exclusivity agreement ;)
And then Microsoft made a 180 and offered the Xbox for overpriced €479.
