so basically this is the transilation : "we are sorry for being money whores"

Who says Crystal Dynamics had a say in this? Wouldn't it be SE's decision?

For me the translation is, "sorry we have to work for these greedy bastards" (I still love SE, but I find it a stab in the back and will never buy the game out of principle)

Very funny isn't it?

Sony in some manner gets a timed or console exclusive they are clear... when Capcom is asked by SF5, SE about FF VII or YS about Shenmue 3 they were all clear on what is exclusive and to what.

And PS top manager when asked about one of the exclusives said how long it would stay exclusive to PS4, he didn't resort to "I won't comment about other platforms, that is the job of the IP owner, but them have the owner of the IP says they can't comment as well"... isn't it realy strange?

More like shady. But unfortunately, it works. The point is to make money even if you deceive the consumer. With these practises, gamers, especially the ones not following the news closely, don't know any better. I bet most of the xb friends that I have are sure that it's only coming to xb1. If it works, I don't see any reason MS would want to change their approach.

After Shenmue and FFVII, I thought these sorts of threads might die down for a while...

starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

We all get it's a timed exclusive at this point, and we get it isn't just a console exclusive either. If it was coming to just One/PC, Microsoft would have flat out said that's where it was going. There is no point in hiding that as it would only have a small impact on the console sales of the game. Sony recognizes that which is why they're okay with PC/PS4 deals, even if I think doing that with No Man's Sky was a really, really dumb move considering that game could have even pushed consoles for PC gamers as the hype is now.

The game is definitely coming to PS4 at some point. No doubt. It may take awhile, but hell, even Mass Effect made it to the PS3 eventually.

This is why even though a lot of people praise Phill Spencer as the good guy and gamers friend I still think he isn't on the same level of transparency as Shu.
