Quote More recently, Psychonauts 2 was signed by Starbreeze, in a deal worth $8 million in development funds. The Swedish publisher's recent financial problems cast doubt on whether that commitment would be honoured, however, and the Microsoft acquisition involved $13.2 million for the Psychonauts 2 publishing rights. This, Minecraft Dungeons, and Outer Worlds as only on Xbox titles would have really helped the console not look like a dumpster fire. Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,884 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just keeping their options open. It's weird to see them buy Tomb Raider timed exclusivity then do this. Link to post Share on other sites

They need 3rd party exclusives and moneyhats to pad this out. it's ridiculous to not at the very least FORCE these new studios to be exclusives. Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,169 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 "First of all, our existing commitments to backers of Psychonauts 2, or any other agreements we've made, will be fulfilled," Schafer said. "So whatever platform you chose to receive your copy of Psychonauts 2 on, for example, you'll still get it." Once those agreements have been satisfied, however, Schafer said the studio would be focusing on, "Xbox, Game Pass and PC." Link to post Share on other sites

So Xbox just paid $13.2 million for a game and they knowingly kept it a multiplat. We've seen this SAME EXACT scenario before with the Epic Games Store........they got the rights to a game that was on kickstarter, they told them "its on our store, and you can't get it anywhere else" We know that there is no legal ramifications for doing this, because EGS just did it. So that means Microsoft could have made this an exclusive...........and they knowingly did not. LOL, their future games will be on GamePass........and gee I wonder what MS will do with putting GamePass on other places than Xbox and PC. Link to post Share on other sites

But they thought about making money.......and they apparently don't trust their own Xbox consumers to make any money. This is Microsoft, we're talking about..........they used to strong-arm indie developers into releasing on Xbox and only Xbox as a timed exclusive. Their pull clearly isn't the same as it used to be.
