What a shit storm this is becoming.

13 months exclusivity on Titanfall was long enough for EA/Respawn/Xbox to use the word 'first on.'
Granted, it was obvious back then that it was timed, since Respawn was skirting around the question by saying they do want to reach out to the broadest audience possible.
It's crazy how the messaging is though isn't it? At first it even says MS published and now it's magically gone and Geoff has to basically pry folks for what should be basic information. With other PC or PS4 games, at least we know if it's a timed exclusive or not fairly soon. This is just ridiculous.

I'm thinking it has to be. After embarrassing myself with my shit math....the cost it would need to make up for cutting out 50% of their user base, just isn't adding up here. Would make more sense if they are just pocketing the extra cash from MS to keep it timed exclusive for the holidays (they want their console units sold)..and then the title releases in 2016 for PS4 and other platforms.
I can't comprehend fans of the franchise being disappointed about a sequel of a reboot that butchered the series being exclusive to one platform.There's a difference between salt, and genuine disappointment from fans that have been there since day 1 in 1996
The Lara Croft spin-offs are far closer to the classic Tomb Raider formula than the shitty reboot ever was.My father is a big, big Tomb Raider fan and I would've loved to play the game with him.
Well, if they don't want my money then I guess that's that.
And the whole "you have Tomb Raider Osiris" is even more a slap in the face.
Luckily for PS4 and PC owners so they don't have to endure the gruelling experience of murdering waves of enemies with shitty contextualization thanks to shitty writing.
Well PS4 owners have Uncharted.
The working man's Uncharted.

WTF is this trash?
Will it temporarly make PS4 owners feel bad for not owning one?
This game looks great. Day one for me.
1) This is a good exclusive to get in that it can help MS in Europe where they've been struggling.
2) TR + Halo sets them up for a decent holiday in 2015 in the US.
3) Both MS and Sony have moneyhatted before and targeted series that were multiplatform or exclusive to other consoles. I can understand disappointment but all the vitriol is ironic although entertaining.
So a timed exclusive for a mediocre game? I don't see the big deal, they will lose a lot of sales though, that's for sure. Can't imagine people actually buying a console for this game lol.
The hoi polloi. It's why we can't have nice things.Who the fuck would tweet a voice actor about what platform the game she's working on is coming out on!?

lol, I'm just messing around. I just wanna be involved in this clusterfuck of a thread/announcement, but have no real stake in the matter.Fonts are rendered differently on my PC vs the earlier screenshot someone else took.

As is often the case, developers suffer the most in all this.

I don't know the generally accepted cut for publishers per $60 sale (I'd guess $25 ish?), but if we assume it's $20-$25 and SE are expecting this to do similar numbers to TR2013, then they're going to miss out on at least 3 million sales by going Xbox exclusive, so I would guess that could be anything from $60-$75 million in missed revenue.
I'm assuming this is because it's a deal that was made recently. =/ MS is really hungry to get console units moved this holiday.
WooshWhat does this mean? U2 and U3 sold like mad, U3 even sold 3.8M ON ITS FIRST DAY.

It will help feel Xbone owners to temporarily feel good for owning the console.

Geoff full of shit again.
the fan's money, not the platform holder's.
call me a romantic, but one's sort of a token of appreciation from the fan to the creator, the other one's a cold strategic business deal.
but that's just imho, CD and MS can do whatever they want. gonna get an Xbone eventually anyways, just a shame that i might miss out on day-1-ing this game.
Neither does Microsoft, Geoff or Square.
No one knows if it is a timed exclusive or who is the publisher.
Clusterfuck all around.
Yeah, fair's fair, here: I was somewhat dickish in my first response to his tweets, but I was regarding that as his final word and that's wrong; he's certainly doing some work to try to get explicit straight answers.
And indeed, it could perhaps be construed that the fact that he's having difficulty getting explicit straight answers suggests that something's up.
When you buy an entity, it doesn't make previous contracts void. EA would have still been bound by Bioware's contract.

Microsoft studios is removed...
Launching in holiday 2015, exclusively on Xbox,
