Are you so sure about that? Where was Microsoft when Sony is helping out with Shenmue 3? Where is Microsoft helping out Capcom by funding Street Fighter V like Sony did? If they don't want another fighting game because they have Killer Instinct, then why didn't we hear them state that they will be funding Devil May Cry 5? I mean seriously...Capcom just announced that they will wait and see if they can make DMC 5 based off of the sales of DMC 4 special edition. This article surfaced just days before E3 and Microsoft could have jumped on it, but they didn't. Capcom is practically begging for someone to fund them and "M$", with all of their money, is doing what? It is funny how a company who has tons of money is doing nothing for gaming, while the company that is "going bankrupt" is helping out developers left and right.

"Mr. Itsuno revealed that he doesn’t know if he will be able to make another numbered entry of the series so if players don’t want to wait another seven years for another game or let Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition become the last release of the series they need to support the new release and let Capcom know what they think of it. Apparently the game will be coming with a special survey that will be used to gather feedback on the game. If you’re a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series, you know what to do in around ten days."
How is that, what is shown above, any different than a kickstarter? So if Sony helped out Capcom with this game, would you lash out at Sony for doing a charity/funding for DMC 5? Where were you complaining and sharing your feelings about the "charity" when the Street Fighter V announcement surfaced?

What's with all this irrelevant information?
MicroSega would be one company and Sega software would be funded by big daddy M$.

Then could you please provide relevant information or an example of where "M$ would have paid for [games] in full". Or did you just make a blind statement without anything to back it up?
I am sorry that I provided not one, but three examples of where Microsoft had the opportunity to fund games but chose to look the other way. I also provided relevant information with a source published 12 days ago about one of these games. The source ALSO provided a strikingly similar scenario to the kickstarter of Shenmue 3 at Sony's E3 press conference by stating things like:
1.) "Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition [could] become the last release of the series", so players "need to support the new release" to help fund DMC 5.
That sounds very similar to the Shenmue 3 kickstarter annoucement except without the exposure and funding.
2.) "Apparently the game will be coming with a special survey that will be used to gather feedback on the game"
You can donate $5 dollars to the Shenmue 3 kickstarter so as to provide suggestions or general opinions.
So where is Microsoft funding DMC 5 in full or giving it exposure on their E3 conference stage? So now you have Sony who is funding Street Fighter V and Shenmue 3, yet here you are lashing out at them for making it seem like a "charity". You put Microsoft in good light for doing absolutely nothing and praise them based off of speculation and what you think they would have done. Now you are presented with three cold hard facts (Coors Light) of where Microsoft could have funded these games but chose not to. When you are presented with the truth, you just want it to go away by stating that this is "irrelevant information". Dodging at its finest.
