It's not being used incorrectly. First Party is any game published by the console holder. Second Party is a game that is distributed, but not funded by them. Phil Spencer gave this definition and used Dance Central as an example of a second party game on tge Major Nelson podcast."It's a big first party title"
Is it actually first party? I recall Microsoft owning the IP, but Remedy is developing it, and Remedy is not owned by Microsoft. Wouldn't that technically make it a second party title?
First party = owns IP, owns developer
Second party = owns IP, doesn't own developer
Third party = doesn't own IP or the developer
Sorry. It just bugs me when I see that used incorrectly.
