I enjoy laughing at GAF's bias and general douchebaggery as much as the next guy, but to be fair, they were right about why MS spent money on the game. Their underlying goal was to secure an exclusive for their platform and keep it off the competitions platform. What they were wrong on though, as were many here, was that this is a negative or evil or greedy business practice. We now know the game would not exist in its current form had MS not stepped in and provided support for a real release, while Sony only wanted to facilitate a fucking Vita release LOL.
It does also show mortimer was full of shit, but we already knew that. Also, some others already replied about EA not spending money, as some did in the other thread about this. EA would have gladly paid Respawn more money and had them finish the game. But in order for that to happen, Respawn would have had to give EA the IP. And we all know what happens when EA gets control of an IP. Death happens. So thank you based MS for saving the IP and providing an awesome game.
