Someone said it's a hate crime hahaha I swear smart people are getting outnumbered ;D..... This story is just an example of what goes on everyday in the ghettos of the US, people only care about a life if it's their race it's affected , so sad! Some of the things I see in the comments is some of the things my racist uncles say lol YES I've got some racist family members but I'm certainly not or associate with people with small minds, my girlfriend is black and got 2 kids together before I get accused of been a racist
@Stiler: But atleast the devs have got the game out to consumers even if limited due to exclusivity. The publisher is entitled to a bigger cut if they put majority of funding which is rightly so coz the game could flop and they lose out but devs normally get a payment upfront and bonuses after depending on the success of their game or if it's in the clause. It would only be bad for devs if their game didn't come out, you have to build your rep then call your own shots when you're big enough, win win.
@Stiler: You're going off topic! The article is about exclusives being bad for gamers and devs, how's exclusivity bad for devs? If they are a small dev, they get paid if a publisher funds their project and decides to make it a timed/full exclusive and in time the devs grow and have enough funds to do whatever they want with their games. It's only bad for gamers who miss out if they own a platform which hasn't got the exclusive app.
@Stiler: zzzz this is just common sense stuff so don't act smart over here! Devs have a choice, release it on multi platforms or timed/full exclusive! They go exclusive if they can't afford to go multiplat, make the game without funds and get help from a publisher or are offered funds for exclusivity! So how is it bad for devs? It's only bad for gamers.
Lol Bad for gamers but certainly not for devs/business, it's not like they have a gun to their heads when they make a game exclusive (more like a truck loaded with cash).
@MAXTHUNDER99: I have both and PS4 easily doubles the number of X1 exclusives and that's why Xbox saves most of them to be released for the holiday season. Can you list these exclusives you're talking about coz I've only got about 6 games on my X1??? I just wished they stopped doing all these timed exclusives and invest that money in the 1st party studio's. No console has ever won a gen on power alone and to be honest with you, I don't think Sony are too worried about the Teraflops in the Scorpio even if the Neo is less powerful coz games is what a majority of gamers really care about and what sells hardware. The resolutiongate got to MS and I really hoped that they wouldn't get sucked in and concentrated on games coz even though the X1 is Underpowered compared to the PS4, full quality exclusives would've made the difference and helped sell more X1s but they did sucked in and now the Scorpio could be the making or breaking of Phil Spencer.
Now they know they will have the most powerful console in the 2nd half of this gen, MS need to take advantage of this opportunity and invest more in 1st party AAA exclusive games and give the studios abit of freedom to try something different. No point having the most powerful console and no content to go with it.
@brownyyy: I get the choice from a consumer point of view but if you read my original comment, I'm looking at it from a business angle. We all know a majority care about graphics, fps if those things didn't matter why release Neo or Scorpio??? And why would you want quick gen cycles if you don't care about graphics etc?? Average console cycles are normally 6-8 years we almost 3 years in, if Scorpio is released next year when do they release their next gen console? Coz that will piss people off if they spend on a Scorpio then 3 years later a next gen console is announced! MS guna have to extend this gen atleast for another 4 years after the Scorpio is released to avoid upsetting people who bought it.
