[QUOTE="Worf, post: 113187, member: 1047"] Most of the nonsense may have originated from Microsoft requiring a publisher, but that they already had because they did PHoF. Then the crap came because Crave went bankrupt. There's nothing Microsoft could so about this, and even if Microsoft could let them, their old Crave contract meant that no matter what Farsight, Microsoft or anyone else other than the courts could do, Farsight was stuck with Crave. Unless all the creditors wanted to sue Farsight for breach of contract. Only if you assume the PS3 version updates don't cost the same amount of money. Microsoft may be looser with the NDA terms (I doubt it - the $40,000 figure came from Phil Fish, Fez developer who decided that the internet was too nasty and cancelled Fez 2 because of it). Sony may simply have better lawyers and if you say how much it costs to go through Sony's approval, you're kicked out and blacklisted. Trust me, console development legal terms are VERY nasty. And assuming the PS4 is better than Xbone? Please. Sony has screwed users over on the PS3 side many times. Hell, they've stolen money from users. My tip of the day - don't buy anything from PSN for the first month for the PS4 - Sony has a nasty habit of removing purchased items if someone even mentions homebrew. See PS Vita and how many games got removed. May even want to let it settle between the homebrewers and Sony. Last thing you want is to have TPA suddenly removed because it could be used to break into the console. (Despite this, I have both on preorder, and own both Xbox360s and PS3s, one of which can only play games made before April 2011.). [/QUOTE]
