I wonder how those who are disgusted by this "money whore" action even got into Tomb Raider series considering it was moneyhatted by Sony almost right from the start. Or does it only become money whoring when Playstation is the platform left out instead of the platform getting exclusive rights to Tomb Raider?


Street Fighter V was moneyhatted by Sony, TR moneyhatted by Microsoft. Everyone is doing it


im not sure if people that make comments like this are completely oblivious to the situation on hand or just act clueless to try state a point.

Tomb Raider Reboot sold 7 million units by the time the deal was struck and was pofitable. has sold 8 million units so far. the game was happening either way. MS just paid for it NOT to come to PS4 and PC for a few months.

Street Fighter was a game confired by the dev to not have the budget or man power to happen, and was expected to come at 2018 at the earliest IF the funds and man power come up. Sony's deal meant the game was made and it comes in spring 2016 to PS4 and PC.

MS's deal delayed the game on other platforms with their deal, and spent money on something that was already coming to XB1 regardless. Sony's deal made a game that literally wasnt happening any time soon come to life, the money spent on the deal meant extra content that wasnt coming to PS4 (or PC) to come to the platform. so yeah.. seems like the same thing.... sure...
