also "Anyway, the fact is, these deals are terrible to the industry. It makes one fanbase milked to death, while another one left out to dry. Its terribly sad, and I hope this ends for good soon!"
what a terrible statement, are you completely uninformed? you may look at the industry gaming industry as a "gamer" and what matters is that you get more games. but those of us that look at the industry with a realistic view dont see it as such. For devs to make games, they need to make money, and in order to make money, they need to sell their games.
these "marketing deals" arent a waste of money, because its a win-win situation. Sony markets batman, batman sells more, PS4 sells more, Sony makes money and WB makes money, and then rocksteady can make more games. its that simple. these marketing deals arent coming out of development budgets. but the marketing budget of the company.
MS's was given flack last gen because they focused on third party deals and milking the same franchises (fable, Forza, Gears and Halo) to sell their console, without trying to do or bring anything new, and that can not be said of Sony this gen.
