Yes paying money to keep games off a console is bad. The only exclusives I think should exist are the ones that are funded by a platform owner and wouldn't be made otherwise. But the reason Phil is rightfully getting criticized is because he's the head of a company that started this trend last gen, and still partakes in to this day. And him copaining about it now when MS simply can't afford to get the deals they were able to last gen due to PS4 being the console most publishers want to align their games with just comes off as sour grapes. And that's exactly what it is. |
I'm sorry but history teaches us that MS didn't start that trend at all. Other companies have payed devs to keep games from appearing on other consoles.
Imo we all have a voice and instead of using it to make gaming better we use it to hate on each other. Phil is right and we all should make companies know that this needs to stop. Keeping Titanfall, Tomb Raider etc from Playstation frustrated Sony fans as much as keeping Street Fighter V, Destiny first year DLC etc pissed MS fans. He's right and gaming is not growing with these practices. I can't wait until gaming is a service and we just pay to play the games we want on whatever device we have.
