Spencer: We Have Just Signed Exclusives That Won’t Be Ready for 2-3 Years, No Point in Showing Them

So marketing deals are evil but exclusive contracts are ok?

Well yeah otherwise I couldn't play Bloodborne, Demon Souls, Halo, Gears, Ratchet and Clank and many other IP's not developed by Sony or MS. Before we say Nintendo doesn't do this they let Ubisoft make Rabbids and Mario rpg. Or Square Enix the Super Mario RPG. So in a way many companies buy exclusives they don't make themselves. They turn out to be great games quite often so I don't see the point in complaints, since exclusive games are often way more polished. They also might not have existed if they wheren't exclusives to begin with since it are often more risky games than non exclusives. Take demon souls for instance if Sony wouldn't have bought that we might never have gotten From Software to make Dark Souls.
