So? If those games hadn't existed, other, potentially better games could've existed. What's your point? Just because I understand the reason why exclusives exist doesn't mean it's a great concept for consumers. As I said before "If this guy hadn't done that thing then, this would've never happened" is a stupid rhetoric that holds no value. That's like saying "if that one caveman hadn't invented fire, nobody else would've. It completely ignores reality and the fact that this is a planet of a few billion people and thousands of companies. |
That's a false analogy. Bayonetta is NOT comparable to someone "discovering" fire (not inventing). It's something that existed, didn't perform and consequently became a game that others didn't want to support.
It's completely logical that the game would have been dead without a big investment from an outside company. Games like Bayonetta aren't cheap to make, and on the business side of things there wasn't really much of a reason to revive it. Nintendo did it for image more than anything else, I'd wager. Nintendo is feasibly the only major publisher that needed that and therefore means that no one else would have done the same.
That isn't to say that a "better" game couldn't have been made using the resources for the Bayonetta sequels, but that rhetoric is just as bad as the one you're accusing others of having. "If this game wasn't made, a better one would have been." No way of knowing that.
