Exactly. They JUST rebooted this franchise, and they've already dismantled and segregated the fanbase. There was so much drama with this one, that MS isn't going to help bankroll another. Easily one of gaming's most shortsighted deals. |
A lot of ppl say, oh well Microsoft paid them very well so it doesn't matter.
But it does matter. Its not about the money they got paid for exclusive rights, that was a one time thing. It's about growing the fan base for your franchise, and thus making profit, building a successful ip. Square invested a lot of money and time into rebooting it, and then ppl say it's irrelevant if it bombs? Seriously?
I don't get that mentality. Don't get me wrong, the X1 is a fine console, but going up against halo 5, not to mention fallout and COD, and I can't see the game doing too well. At the very least, they should have delayed it till spring or launched it before the big guns come out in a few weeks.
