MS thing is this. We want game. You make game. We want ALL this from game...here is 5 dollars,make it. Studio says but that's not enough. MS Don't care make it happen. Studio says....okay. After sometime MS says why game not finished. Studio says because not enough money to make game. MS says fuck you,you cancelled.

 

MS motto this gen is "Fuck you it's cancelled" But hey it's ok we have a 4k with nothing to play instead.

I will say that this opinion is false.  I have never heard MS being short on the money.  If anything they are hard on meeting agreed upon milestones.  If a project shows that it cannot maintain budget and also show their project in the right state for each Milestone, then MS is quick to kill the project unless the developer has good reason for the delays.  I will say this is more on point with how software companies work more than game software companies but MS is a software company first.  I believe MS has gone through enough games to see if projects cannot meet their milestones and the state of the project is way behind, making your money on such a project is slim to none.  Also releasing unfinished games or releasing games that turn out a mess is way worst then losing your money you invested sofar in the project.

It's fact not opinion. Again how many times must I point out MS has been doing this all this gen. Let's start with Phantom Dust. MS told Darkside they want a single player game with a huge aspect of Multiplayer on 5 million dollars. Darkside said they cannot do this on that budget. MS said tough make it work. Darkside tried and again told them won't work on 5 million dollars. MS said Fuck you it's cancelled and shut down the studio. Same thing with Scalebound MS wanted this huge multiplayer aspect that began as a single player Wii title. Platinum could not properly get it working and MS would not help them so they said fuck you it's cancelled. MS has a habbit of this. They give a list of demands and want everything but don't give the proper budget time or management.
