There's nothing wrong with buying a development studio. It's just hiring people to make games for you at the end of the day, whether you find them indivdually or a ready made unit is immaterial. The difference between Sony and MS is that Sony funds games from the ground up, that's obvious for the first party studios as they're just subsidiaries of Sony. But even in the case of a game like Bloodborne, it was Sony who brought the idea of the game to FromSoftware and asked them to make the game. As in the games Sony puts out wouldn't exist without Sony's involvement. And very often Sony funds games that other publishers just flat out won't. Sony has funded more new IPs this generation than MS, Activision, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft, etc. all put together. MS on the otherhand usually comes in and buys exclsuivity for games already in development, as in the game was going to be made with or without MS, so in the end gamers gain absolutely nothing, on the contrary anyone not playing on a MS platform ends up losing out on a game they would've gotten if not for MS. One company is using it's money to fund new games that wouldn't otherwise get made, while the other is using it's money to deprive most gamers of games they were getting before MS came into the picture. |
Woah.. i am almost speechless. Your post basically contradicts yourself. First of all you just proved LudicrousSpeed point. *It's only inherantly negative if Microsoft does it*
So NawaiNey Whats your views on below..
-Street Fighter 5 being a permanent exclusive for Sony's PS4.. Did that not deprived all the 360 owners who brought a XB1 and loved SF4 and are now no longer able to play a sequal of a franchise that Nintendo originally made popular? Forced to buy a PS4 or a Gaming Rig.. nice buisness practice.
(Do you really believe SF5 would not be made without Sony's money? One of Capcons biggest IPs they own?)
-Didnt Rise of the Tomb Raider release on PS4 anyway even though MS helped with the funding of the game?..
https://www.gamereactor.eu/news/249214/Microsoft+helps+fund+Rise+of+the+Tomb+Raider/ <Thats nice they still allowed it to appear on the opposition platforms. <Thats very nice of them isnt it?
-Doesnt Microsoft still support Minecraft for opposition platforms? Sounds like a good practice to me.
https://venturebeat.com/2017/06/11/microsoft-unifies-minecraft-with-third-party-servers-and-cross-platform-saves/< Sharing and continuing support is a bad thing? < Thats pretty nice of them aswell.
Sony buys 1st party studios like Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch.. wait what? Buying out Studios? I thought only MS do that..
http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2015/12/sonys_open_to_acquiring_additional_first-party_studios < Thats for the gamers because.. Sony?
Sony shuts down afew of many 1st party Studios in Evolution Studios, Guerril Cambridge and Sony's very own Sony Online Entertainment.. And i thought MS were the only ones closing down and selling studios..
https://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/03/sony-shuts-down-driveclub-developer-evolution-studios/ < Thats alright, it helps Sony out alot with the finesses.
So the point i am making here is its okay for Sony to do these things yet if MS do it, its wrong and nothing but an evil practice. I can tell you this, if Sony brought the Minecraft IP, you can bet they will make it a PS4 exclusive and drop support on the other platforms, they simply dont care for Nintendo and Xbox and SF5 proves it.
Everything i said above can be said for Xbox and Nintendo and just about every other brand. The point you suggest MS/Xbox deprive gamers is only just one of many things that is lost in the gaming industry. Dont worry i googled all the info for you.
