Microsoft and Square Enix - I am not very fond of you. (Post edited.)

That's all I have to say.

Hi Graal,

While we encourage freedom of expression, we would like to keep the forums free from swearing. I took the liberty of editing your post, I hope you do not mind.

Thanks.
 
Hey if we're going for censorship lets at least make it a little wordy.

Microsoft and Square Enix I am seriously aggrieved by your illogical decision.

Might as well edit Fivel's post just below his, as Graal's post was quoted and is still visible for all to see.

Why? It was never a problem for James or Tinman. Why the sudden change?

So yes, I absolutely do mind. Not because I want the freedom to swear like a sailor, but because one of the things that set MyGaming apart from MyBB has always been that we do not have to put up with this ridiculous carebear nonsense.

I'm not sure why people are angry at Microsoft. The PS4 has got lots of exclusives, why may the XBone not have any?

I will miss Lara because the previous Tomb Raider game was awesome but there are quite a few Sony exclusives that I would also love to play.

Exclusives are bad for the consumer, no matter who has them.

Because this game was not originally announced as an XBone exclusive and this is very obviously a desperate attempt by MS at getting people interested in the XBone. It's quite a dick move, seeing as lots of people were looking forward to the new game.

Exactly. So it doesn't help to hate Microsoft. Hate the whole console war that's making us PC gamers missing out on some good games.

It's a smart move though. Both Microsoft and Sony are fighting for exclusive titles. Sony got From Software's new Bloodborne that looks amazing and it sucks that we won't be seeing it on other platforms. Microsoft got Tomb Raider and I loved he previous game.

Hate the way that this console war is having to make us choose instead of picking one of the console makers to get all angry about.

But yeah, it's not nice of them to take Tomb Raider away from us except if we get an XBone.

I can't really agree with that statement. From Software's game is a new IP, it's not a continuation of Dark Souls. Where Tomb Raider is an already existing game series, that is in continued development. All Microsoft has managed to do was push away a lot of paying customers and put a sour taste in some peoples mouths about Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. While I do agree that if it would have been released the same time as Uncharted 4, Uncharted would have killed it's sales on PS4 but still, Tombraider would have easily made sales on XBONE and PC and after the initial rush of Uncharted, Tomb Raider would have sold on PS4 as well.

I do agree that they are both getting exclusive titles Tomb Raider was not an exclusive until now - so why change it?
 
I just realized that I am clairvoyant.

I posted this on December 11, last year in a thread about the XBone being delayed:

As a PC gamer this worries me a bit with regard to exclusive releases. Let me explain the scenario as I see it unfold:

XBone loses ground against the PS4 because of (very) late release in some regions. MS need to win back fanbois, so what do they do? Strike deals with developers to release games as XBone exclusives that were not originally planned to be exclusive releases. Sony retaliates in kind and *boom* before you know it, the closest thing to a AAA release on PC this time next year is a "Sims: Sewage Plant" add-on and five new COD games.

Or maybe I'm just over thinking this and need another cup of coffee.
