Good.
Console exclusivity was always a super shitty idea.
I have zero problem with consoles investing in new IPs and funding high budget games as console sellers.
But I don't like these buyouts or pointless exclusives. I don't know why there are still exclusive Final Fantasy games.
Because FF games are expensive to make and going exclusive, even just temporary, is an easy way for Square to get some of that investment back before the game is even released. It basically lowers the risk of creating such a massive AAA game.
