Normally when a hardware manufacturer gives a game developer a wad of cash it's to stop them from releasing its game anywhere else. Microsoft paid Crystal Dynamics a chunk of change to release Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One first. Sony paid Konami lots and lots of money to keep most the Metal Gear games exclusive to PlayStation. It's been that way for years.

Amazing! They are doing it to protect their market.
Exclusives sale products whether people believe it or not. It's the thing that sets these platforms apart.
Glad to see they are trying to stop exclusive contracts , and allow anyone to play a game. I like all kinds of games , but I am not paying 300 quid for console or machine to play one game I like.
It's also so that VR takes of proper and becomes successful , if it's not it could up the biggest flop in the market
A simpler world which will never happen is one machine every game on it ... One can only dream lol
Even though I like what Valve are doing here. It really shouldn't have to come to this. I hate exclusive content and timed exclusive crap. Even though am getting PS VR I hate that fact Sony paid for some exclusive VR titles such as Batman VR and Battlefront VR. These should be experienced on PC as well with people who bought a Vive or a Rift.
Same goes to Facebook and the Rift. Why deny people who own a rift from playing some VR games like The Climb?
Did Sony even have exclusive rights to Metal Gear?
Or is that made up to try say Sony paid for something?
