What is Dreamfall Chapters?
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Even if MS was beating Sony they would still be outmoneyhatting them. MS doesn't have internal development so they kind of have to.

First or third party?
So how about GTA III/SA/VC, or No Man's Sky?
There's no way to prove that Sony bought the devs out, but seeing as both were/are timed exclusives...

Using the whole "there is no proof sony moneyhatted" argument could be used for 99% of moneyhatting that goes on. How many developers are going to come out and say "well you know we did plan on making this game for other platforms but you know (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) swooped in with a huge wad of cash and the overwhelming feeling to just release those versions later or not at all seemed like a great idea."

Many would.

You need to brush up on your console history. Tomb Raider wasn't on the N64 because the system used cartidges as its medium. They were expensive and carried a lot less space than the CD format. The Sega Saturn was a pain in the arse to develop for. It was basically the PS3 of that generation, only that it suffered as much worse fate. Sony didn't need to buy exclusivity to Tomb Raider at all because they didn't need to try. |
No, Sony did buy exclusitivy.
They could have put a (weaker) version on the N64 if they wanted to.

"Sony Computer Entertainment America Signs Exclusive Deal with Eidos for Tomb Raider Franchise; Lara Croft Videogames to Be Exclusive to the PlayStation for Game Consoles"
Sony did the EXACT same thing in the 90s that MS did today. There is nothing wrong with it.

Signing a deal =/= Paying wads of cash. Sony had a much better relationship with devs at that time, especially when the PS1 was developer friendly.
MS, on the other hand, threw wads of cash just so RoTR won't come out on the PS4. Just because the situations look similar on the surface, doesn't mean that at the core, they're the same. MS was obviously threatened by 1.) the PS4's growing userbase and 2.) Uncharted 4. Sony was not threatened by either the Saturn or N64 because they weren't doing so well. Huge difference.
And MS actually shot themselves on the foot because they inadvertently increased potential Uncharted 4 sales now RoTR no longer directly competes with it.

No Man's Sky isn't necessarily "timed". It's just coming to PS4 first
It seems like Sony have just been very helpful to Hello games: "It can take the form of financial support, it can take the form of having Sean Murray from Hello Games on the stage at E3, there are many ways to do it and we try not to be prescriptive and say "this is the template you have to follow, this is the path." "

Financial support.
That is all.
