Microsoft moneyhatted it? You have a link to prove that? Some people complain about MS trying to moneyhat it, others are complaining that they did moneyhat it. Has there been an early access game release on PS4 outside of Ark? Maybe if Sony had their early access program in better shape, then there would have been some actual moneyhatting. No offense, but you’re naive as hell if you think Sony wouldn’t have scooped this up with open arms and marketed it. Was Sony desperate for an exclusive this year? Is that they they moneyhatted some Destiny 2 content and marketed it? This forum is bizarre with this stuff sometimes, LOL.

ive played 10 games of it and have had zero issues outside of the frame rate when you’re parachuting. I do enjoy watching people blow the issues out of proportion though.

Or do you really think those timed exclusivity deals work out without money?!

I don’t see anything in there about MS being desperate for an exclusive. Shouldn’t it be Microsoft looking to extend the deal if that were the case, not Bluehole? And yes, I’m aware in these deals money changes hands. This forum has a shifting definition of moneyhat though. Here MS paid to publish and help develop a game to bring to their console much faster than it otherwise would have been. This is moneyhatting. Yet in a situation like SFV that’s not moneyhatting even though the game is never coming to another console, lol.

He said MS moneyhatted the game because they were desperate for an exclusive. I just wanted to know where he read that, because as I pointed out, other companies have paid for stuff this season that probably wouldn’t be classified as desperate for doing so :)

Microsoft (rumor) supposedly tried to buy Bluehole. That could maybe be construed as moneyhatting as a negative. This kind of deal, no. PS4 doesn’t have an early access foothold, and the game will make its way to that console eventually.
