I don't think most developers really care about the console wars or loyalty beyond money, anyway.

The one good thing about the console wars is that they benefit the consumers. Console manufacturers naturally compete for the business of the developers and publishers.

The side effect is stupid fanboyisms, especially from the clear fanboys.

SquareEnix is a business and if their plan of relasing the game accross the 2 formats gets them more money than they have succeeded. Does it matter where that money comes from? No, as long as it wasn't illegal.
They'll get more money from the 360 anyway, just by benefit of the installed fanbase and the disposition to buy games, rather than BD movies.

But paying for exclusives, buying loyalties, etc.? Pretty SOP in the gaming world. As much as I'm sure darkpower probably believes that all third party developers on the PS3 do so solely because of devotion to the best console ever, Sony really pushed this procedure to the front of the gaming business.

1 question, before you claim MS and SE have colluded to kidnap your parents and will not relase them until you buy a 360.
Don't joke. I was forced to buy a PS2 last gen for that same reason.

Quote:
How is this coming out on 360 going to affect your enjoyment of the game? If the answer is yes, you're more of a fucking idiot than I thought. If it's no, then why the fuck do you care?
Just to nitpick, you asked him "how," which is not a "yes or no" question.

But since I know what you meant, it shouldn't matter. Though exclusives and game sales do affect more games coming out in the future and such, so maybe that's where the outrage is coming from. I mean, it's hard to tell, because dp's loyalty to Sony often stretches well beyond that barrier (ie, "Only a fanboy would believe that Microsoft could sue over something they were legally awarded a patent for), os I don't think it's just concern for future games.

But, as you already know, everyone's wrong but him.
