Also don't forget Microsoft passed on the timed exclusive, Sony was the second bidder.

Why was there a bid in the f()cking first place? This is videogame content we are discussing, not a f()cking defense or construction contract. Leave shit like this to politics, I really miss the days where console wars werent being instigated by F()CKING DEVELOPER STUDIOS. "Hey, we just make games, so we can only make money off the copies sold and the dlc when we release it." "NO WAIT, WHAT IF we MAKE A DEAL WITH ONE OF OUR CONSOLE MANUFACTURERS TO HAVE THEIR PLAYERS GET MORE CONTENT, AND THEY GET THE CONTENT SOONER?" "We would stand to make considerably more money, but at the cost of losing a few players who can't put up with it anymore. Also, we basically alienate any xbox user with a brain and a sense of fairness." "HAHA ISNT IT GLORIOUS? NOT TO MENTION, THOSE ASSHOLES ON XBOX WILL STILL KEEP BUYING OUR SWILL BECAUSE THEY ALREADY SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THEIR CHARACTERS, THEY CAN'T BRING THEMSELVES TO JUST QUIT PLAYING THE GAME. HAHA HAHAHA HHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA." "Jesus, dude" "I'LL F()CK HIM, TOO!HAHAHA"

Sweet story there but same can be acted out as the big companies going to the game developers and paying for content... At the end of the day it's all business, and you know you would've of done the same if it opened you doors to expand your future and studio. Microsoft is who you should be ranting to, which they are probably regretting It after those numbers produced...
