Well there's the fact that you omitted Sony and Nintendo from your criticism entirly, despite the fact that both companies have bought numerous studios and paid other studios to make games exclusively for their respective platforms for decades, thereby reducing their potential revenue for some benefit that's clearly obvious to those companies.

And yet, when Microsoft does it....they are just limiting their potential market for no reason and it's obviously a stupid business move. Sure. Seems a little sus, is all.

Either the entire fucking industry is guilty of this "bad business practice" or maybe there's a calculated reason for it. Pick one.
