Oh yeah, think the OP is just making a point of this coming off the tails of Phil Spencer at this interview http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-12-the-big-interview-xbox-boss-phil-spencer Most notably : I've been pretty open about, I'm not a fan of doing deals that hold back specific pieces of content from other platforms. You don't see that in the deals we've done with Assassin's and Shadow. We'll have a marketing deal on those, but I don't say, hey, I need some kind of Strike or skin somebody else can't play.I don't think it's good for our industry if we got into a point where people are holding back the technical innovation of game developers based on a marketing deal. So yeah, no one really would be shocked about a third party game being wrapped up in the guise of wanting to be on a system if it wasn't for the fact that big Phil said he wasn't a fan of such moves to stop games appearing on other machines. |
I hadn't seen that interview lol. Everything makes more sense now. Sorry, I misunderstood your post.
