Lol comparing console makers to renaissance art patrons is rich. They are hardware makers and that's all. They don't give a shit about great art. They are just trying to have some unique selling points for their locked down platforms so that gaming PCs don't completely dominate the market. Fuck Sony. Fuck Microsoft. And fuck publishers who sign exclusivity deals. Monopolistic and anticompetitive behaviour doesn't deserve praise or encouragement.
