Why get mad on a company's behalf? People tend to get angry when Microsoft does it because of their low market position. People buy a PS4 expecting to get these games due to the huge userbase. Considering that Xbox games aren't even exclusives, these keepaway moves with assumed multis tend to look more spiteful than anything else. And in the case of games like Tomb Raider, they don't seem to be gaining them mindshare. MS really don't help themselves much when they come off as "woe is me" like they're not a company with a half a trillion dollar market cap when they get blowback. |
So when Sony gets all these 3rd party exclusives, how do you think they occur. Do you believe that MS made no effort to get these games on their system or do you believe these business out of the goodness of their heart just decide to only develop on the PS system ignoring revenue on other systems. When MS pay a studio to make a game for them, its MS nothing having a strong First Party system, when Sony does it, its smart business. The real key is that there is a lot of hypocritical statement from gamers because they do not even see they have fallen into Fandom. They pick a side and they ignore the practices of that side and see a corporation as benevolent.
This is the industry and maybe Phil should not said he doesn’t favor doing what he has to do in the industry because that is how the game is played. We can find many statements from corporate execs where they probably wish they just kept their mouth shut because gamers latch onto those statements, twist them to their own purpose or just totally misrepresent what is stated. Right now in this thread you have a bunch of people calling Phil a liar because he said he doesn’t favor doing these types of moves as if he stated he doesn’t do them. Not liking something but having to do it anyway because that is how the game is played is totally different.
