Microsoft would have had to pay quite a bit for that. Square just reduced the potential market from 30-50 million (PC, PS4, Xbox One numbers combined) to, at this moment, roughly 5 million.
Smart business decision for Square.
No. They reduced cost. More consoles = higher cost = bigger money loss.
Making this only on Xbox One, good sale = Profit. Making on all platforms, good sale = flop.
Each system takes more money to make which means each system needs to sell a lot which Tomb Raider did not, so they lost money. When making it on xbox one, having a little bit lower sell but still good sale but cost is very low, this means pure profit.
Alienating a huge part of your fanbase = angry consumers = less people buying their games
My guess is that it's not a timed exclusive. If it was they wouldn't have posted that letter to try and explain themselves. It's over guys. rip tomb raider.
Well both DR3 and Ryse developers outright said their games wont come to PC
It's not the same though. Tomb Raider had a huge following and i know a lot of people (including myself) who will not support Crystal Dynamics again after this. It might have been a great move by Microsoft but CD is digging its own grave.
