I see another Deus Ex situation in my future. For example, Deus Ex: The Fall. Get all excited from a teaser for their next game, only to find out it's a mobile game.
I don't doubt it will be a good game though, just not for me.
This is great news for all gamers, not just Microsoft fans because if the XboxOne had succeed with these policies in place future consoles would be sure to have them. Let's face it, this is a business and no one would leave profits on the table they could of had and I for one would be out of a hobby I love. That being said, I'm still sticking with a PS4. No mandatory game installs or kinect, but more importantly Sony has more exclusives I'm interested in and ultimately isn't that what matters? The games?
First thought when I saw the title of the article was...LOL, coming from Nintendo thats priceless.
Second thought after actually reading the article...I agree graphics arent everything and you should try new things and not rely on safe bets based on what other delvelopers are doing.
Finally...Nintendo how about you come up with some new IPs not based on the same few franchises over and over. Or better yet, go 3rd party. I'm sure they would sell a ton more copies.
