Moneyhatting is bad so I don't entirely like this (and I didn't like it during the previous generation either). That said, true partnerships, such as publishing deals, are OK and actually a good thing. |
When a company pays millions of dollars to simply be able to show an ad on TV, even though every owner of the rivial console KNOWS it's going to be on their system on the same day? It just feels pointless to me. I can't believe people are now arguing who gets marketing rights these days. It's like, who cares? Both console get the game right?

Marketing rights aren't bad but when it takes stuff away from another platform, it's bad for us gamers. PS4 gamers don't get anything from taking COD DLC from xbox owners for a month. Same with TR, XB1 fans were already getting it but MS paid to stop it from reaching the PS4 this year. It sucks and it easy to ignore it when your platform is getting all the deals.
That said, it can be a good deal for a company so from a business point of view, deals are used to get the advantage over the competition. It's dog eat dog.
