That Dead Space 3 bit is the stupid fucking excuse I ever read for making a game more accessible to the masses. This is, by the way, third second or third completely different reason for changing their never-actually-scary series into just another space shooter. I always said Dead Space never had any vision of its own, this sells it. It's a shit 'franchise' that added nothing unique nor did it do any one thing well. The design was utterly Western and boring, the gameplay oh so focus tested approved.
Games that lack vision are subject to changes like this, following the dollar. That's fine in the end, some decent games were whatever concepts. But fuck Dead Space. I said it sense day 1 and now its own company is pretty much saying it.
Sad story about Versus 13, but I had a feeling.
If Microsoft doesn't wanna be the big bad wolf, they could reveal how much it actually cost to get a patch uploaded, or they can reduce the cost for this case. If it's gonna do neither, they can't avoid backlash. Merely saying 'it's not us' doesn't cut it, when the developer was very detailed in their reasoning.
Banjo Kazooie on WiiU may be interesting. Just give all of Rare's old gems to Retro Studio, they're the new Rareware.
