This why you need to donate to my foundation to stop SSMS.

uh, no......... this is different from "moneyhatting" that MS is famous for.

Moneyhatting is a tool used to steer already multiplat games as exclusive(Ace Combat 6) or gimped on one and not the other(Madden 08). What happened to the days where the big companies woed the developers with gaming prowess rather then benjamins?

This is to encourage new IPs to be exclusive, which is fine on both sides. I never said anything was wrong with that.

moneyhatting creates greed among developers, holding out for who will offer up the most doe instead of having integrity and doing what is best for the GAME!

THis lets small indie developers (Who MS wont bid for) get out their for virtually no cost, from their after making their first game they can support themselves. They can even go MP if they want.

I know. Remember the time Kutaragi stole all of Nintendo's third parties by clearing Contra in one life? Shit was awesome.

LOL XD

What I mean is knowledge of the gaming world and knowing what the gaming world needs. Innovation and all that. Companies boasting their ability to better games as opposed to simply buying them away from each other. The idea of Moneyhatting is very.........Wallstreet. Its full of backstabbing and treachery, figuring out how you can screw the other one over the most.

Yeah, it's almost like the video game industry is a business or something.

Yeah, it is. And we are GAMERS who are suppose to be for the bettering of GAMES!!!! I would have small niche companies like Nippon Ichi, or Ico team who make awesome games over gaming giants like EA who spew out garbage and make more money.

that goes directly against everything I've ever heard. Is that like the tech support they gave toshiba to help them get 99$ players?

Or the support they are obviously giving netflix?

here we go with the PSN nonsense again .
Im sure someones going to point out how Wonderful Flower is.

Team Ico isn't really a company, and EA is losing money like crazy. And I like EA's games lately. They're fun, and they generally don't take four years or more to make.

not bad, its basically a twist of words. they pay what you spent to make the game, if you keep it exclusive. its the same as microsoft. not much of a difference really, just a bonus. its probably awesome for those who had no intentions of releasing on XBLA
