| ice said: As far as the whole moneyhat thing goes, they both do it but my stance is still that it should be mostly indies, independent A/AAs, aka the people that could use financial support without a big publisher. Xbox hasn't had a AAA moneyhat since the infamous Tomb Raider one which they received a ton of backlash for. Even the "bigger" titles like The Medium and Stalker (assuming its the same) have very small windows of exclusivity. Meanwhile AAAs like FF7R and FF16 is up in the air if they will ever come to xbox. |
Yeah, I really don't mind these AA and smaller hat deals on games like Kena, The Medium, Stray, and such, though I do wish that the timed windows on the Sony ones were as short as the Xbox ones often are (we are still waiting after more than a year for Kena on Xbox for instance). Regulators definitely should put a stop to allowing these AAA timed hat deals though, they are very anti-consumer. And they should put a stop to allowing Sony to hat exclusive content for their marketing deal games, they are effectively paying to make other platforms get less content despite the same price tag for the game, very anti-consumer.
