No way around it, that’s a dirty and aggressive deal. Just buy Square and make it all legit, because 3rd party exclusive deals should be no more then 6 months imo.

The gaming media also showing their true colors, I haven’t seen any outlet criticizing this.

lol get over it.

whether its a timed exclusivity deal, or straight up buying the developer, the result is the same: content that is exclusive to your platform.

No outlets are criticising it because the straight up hypocrisy of supporting MS buying Bethesda etc is just too stupid to lose your reputation over.

Why would Sony spend money to time exclusive something that is completely unproven? Could be a pile of crap?

Maybe there's more to it than splashin cash like they are helping with dev?

Would you prefer Sony snagged The Evil Within 3 instead? With a new IP is there is little room to get up in arms over it. There's no personal investment from any gamer in a new IP.

or the game was having development issues. 

You have to remember that somehow it is worse that Sony pick a new IP that no one knows will be good or sell well and pay for it to have timed exclusivity than MS buying in a single year 15 studios and keeping the whole portfolio forever. Get on with times.

And of course Sony picking up this timed exclusivity will force MS answer into buying another 8 studios.
