I wish a 3rd party buys out Dead Space from EA but i wouldnt want Sony, Xbox or Nintendo to do it because they will surely lock it away from others to play.

I agree of course that it'd be better if a 3rd party publisher revived these games and made them multiplatform.

With that said, I'm not sure why you'd rather not ever see e.g. a new Dead Space game than to have Microsoft or Sony bring it to XB/PC or PS/PC, respectively. That doesn't make much sense to me other than fear of getting the short stick in a made up console war.

I don't play Komani games, I was never a fan of the titles to begin with, though its the principle of the idea of companies buying IPs only to lock others out from playing them which is bad customer business, unless you own the said platform. My point is if Sony do this, this will spark a buy out war and will start seeing Google, MS and maybe even Nintendo start buying IPs from devs that are too busy to make newer games for the IPs and start seeing games being thrown all over the place. This means gamers are going to need to buy every platform to play there favourite games and that's a lot of money spent especially if next gen is more expensive.

As long as the games make it to PC at least that creates a middle ground for those already invested but knowing Sony and Nintendo, they don't like sharing.
