The Video Game Critic

This is a big reason why MS is bad for video games. It doesn't fund projects, it attempts to bully itself into market share by buying exclusives.

This is likely time limited exclusivity, but it also means that not even PC gamers will have it available for a while.

What? When did they decide this?
I'm really bummed now. I was planning on getting a PS4 later this year and maybe an Xbox One a couple of years later to play Halo 5. I was up till now sure I will play the next Tomb Raider on the PS4

Unfortunately, they've shuttered studios that produced amazing games.  So, they can either start up a brand new studio or buy their way into exclusivity.

In either case, all three need to do something to ensure they have some level of exclusive games, else they'll all become generic and easily replaceable.  

MS picked up Titanfall and now Tomb Raider for I'm guessing a pretty penny.  Considering the PS4 is more powerful and between the two systems I'd have gone with any multiplatform game on the PS4.  As a result, it makes sense for them to pick up a few games to keep the Xbox One in contention until the next Halo game releases.

Sony is getting Grim Fandago, lucky punks.  Nintendo is getting Bayonetta.

Evil, business, they all do it.  You say potato, I say potahto, let's call the whole thing off.  

Yeah this is when a good series can go bad, unfortunately that's how it has been for the past COUPLE generations.

Punching through is one thing, but there's nothing a bullet can't make happen.

I can't really blame MS on this. If they can make Tomb Raider exclusive why not?
But I don't see how Crystal Dynamics benefits. I'm more asking them why, not MS.

I'll stick with the original games on PS1 for now. Lol.

In other news, PS4 has sold 10 million systems to customers in less than a year. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-4-sells-10-million-units-sony-reveals-/1100-6421671/

Enjoy that exclusivity, Square.

I hope this puts some Gil in Sqeenix's coffers.
