Lol, I hope you're getting paid for this
For good reason.
1. MS has a history of cancelling projects and fucking over devs they work with
2. Platinum has a history of releasing high quality action games for surprisingly tight budgets. Whether it's continuing/reworking other projects (MGS), working with 1st parties (Bayo 2 and Wonderful 101) or working on licensed properties (Transformers Devastation)
Given those points, 2 especially, is why people are leaning more towards MS being at fault
Microsoft has defacto fucked over a multitude of devs this gen, cancelling half a dozen exclusive first party games in the process, where as platinum is known to make high quality titles in extremely efficient manner.
It's really not that hard to see why people want to give platinum the benefit of a doubt and not Microsoft.
Ask lionhead, ask obsidian, ask access games, ask darksides
Platinum has a pedigree of high quality game design. While managed right, they created NieR Automata in two years dev time, which will go down as one of the highlights of this generation.
Microsoft has a pedigree of mismanaging games and studios with feature creep, poor communication, and even dropping trailers of games that are still in concept stage. They also have a knack for killing off stuff however late, rather then cultivating the franchise and course correct with a sequel.
Don't even trip dog.
I really don't understand such negativity nor the narrowed vision. It not like MS hasn't delivered good 1st party games this gen so far and everything which Platinum has done is pure gold either
