There's a difference between what I would hope and what I would suspect.

"It benefits fewer people than it would if the game were multiplatform"
Are we making the mistake of assuming the game would be multiplatform? When MS has demonstrated, and admitted to, a willingness to bolster deficiencies in their 1st party lineup by buying 3rd parties, can we just sit here and assume that SFV would be multiplat if not a PS4 console exclusive, that MS wouldn't buy it? We've already been told that Sony turned ...
@Septic
How can you get mad at someone and challenge their reading comprehension, because they called you the hypocrite, when you started the hypocrisy accusations in reply to the first comment posted, which had nothing to do with "two wrongs make a right." Abash never made a moral judgement on the practice at all. He just said it was predictable, given what's happened this gen.
Let me say this too, for the "hypocrisy" trolls that insist on viewing things in a vacuum. Did it ever occur to you that Microsoft's eagerness to snatch up 3rd party titles played a hand in this? If Sony says "no" to Capcom, do they have to worry that MS will say "yes?"
There have been a few titles now where the defense of MS has been that some developer/publisher came to Sony with the deal, but Sony didn't play ball. So, IF it's a m...
@Septic
No, it's not right. I'd rather see the money spent elsewhere.
Still, it takes me out how some of you jump at any chance to hurl false charges of hypocrisy. If you're playing a game of street hoops and you keep fouling the other team when they go for a basket, and your response when called out on it is "That's the game. Just play," don't be surprised when the other team plays and fouls you on your way to the basket.
"SS4 was only the 35th best selling title on the PS3."
I see what you did there.
I'm not going to jump up and down for joy that I'm going to get to play a game I was going to get to play anyway.
If this is true, I hope it has to do with install base, not a payoff. Why throw money that can go toward other things at something that cost nothing if not for false demand?
@zeal0us
LMAO. Good catch. I was searching all over the page for the "satire" disclaimer, after reading this story.
It probably doesn't help that it's so hard to find a good sale on 1st party titles for a console so reliant on its 1st party lineup.
Making light of the traumatic experience of feeling dominated, powerless, violated, humiliated, etc., to draw parallels to defeat in a video game is not only wrong, but indicative of an individual too immature and/or intellectually limited to communicate the comparatively inconsequential actions occurring in a video game in any other way.
In other words, it is you who should grow up. At least you actually responded instead of hiding behind stealth down votes, though.

Hold up, boss. Back it up. How are you going to cosign me to a point that is contrary to the one I made? My point wasn't that it's completely different. My point was that the online gaming community has become so insensitive that it is acceptable jargon to use the experience of feeling dominated, powerless, "owned," and humiliated during a rape as something to mockingly associate with the defeat of an opponent. To boot, this is often done publicly, with no regard for the pre...
The disagrees crack me up.
Which point do you disagree with, #1 or #2? Both? Please articulate your objection. I'd love to see it. I know you have at least one bubble to comment with. No one here has maxed out. Seems your objection is more to my shattering your insulated worldview than the logic of my argument.
How about if you start talking about lynching a Black person or making them your slave? That's a more fitting comparison, as those are not experiences which have been, or can be, exclusive to Blacks, but you would have to be willfully blind not to recognize the added offensiveness of directing those threats at a Black person.
"If the tweet was aimed at a male, would it have made the news? That’s unfortunately everything that’s wrong with this world."
1) No, it's not everything that's wrong with this world. There are worse things discussed in the article alone, like casually tweeting about raping an opponent.
2) Let's not be willfully dense. It's inappropriate whether used against a man, women, or even just casually used in a joking context that makes lig...
More like something to be said about being under-sensitive. First time I heard a gamer use rape was years ago when an online buddy of mine told a 9 year old girl "Good night. Don't get raped." I waited in that awkward silence for her to log off, then lit into him like "WTF? Did you really just tell a 9 year old 'don't get raped?'"
I soon realized that this was part of online gamer parlance, but to this day I'm not cool with it. To me i...
Can't help but wonder if Sega was just using this Nintendo exclusivity deal to experiment, saving sequels to proven formulas, like Generations, for multiplat release.
Might be that neither was directly hacked, but people link their accounts to all sorts of things which could make their data vulnerable.
Read the article, people. That headline doesn't mean what you think. I'm just going to start calling headlines like this "troll bait," because they expose the trolling ways of people that didn't bother to read before agreeing with a criticism that isn't even present in the article.
I kind of got the sense that you were joking in reference to the comments before yours, which is why I said some people, rather than accuse you.
@DragonKnight
I think you mistake my point. You said a deal like this doesn't benefit the fans. All things being neutral, I agree. However, if the alternative is PS4 gamers not getting the game, because MS makes a deal where Sony won't, then it does benefit PS4 owners, who would have been deprived of it, otherwise. Perhaps we're talking about circumstances where multiplat wasn't really an option. That's speculation, but it's rooted in recent history an...
