What games have they moneyhatted?
Games that are developed by third parties that become exclusive because a console manufacturer (usually Microsoft, as this is their MO) pays them to not release the game on any other platforms.
since IGN boards lol

I'm not going to speculate on what game it may be, but I hope it's a lot better than that garbage titanfall game.
Cherrypicking third party devs?

Which is moneyhatting. Just sugar coated in fanboy drivel so it's okay for Sony does but a blasphemy when anyone else does it.
Publishing and Money-hatting are NOT the same thing.
Examples of recent money-hats, including "marketing partnerships": Watch Dogs/AC4 content on PS, PvZ on XB, Titanfall on XB, CoD/BF maps on XB, FIFA content on XB
Examples of first party published games from second parties: Dead Rising 3, The Order, Quantum Break
I never said that it means they'll do it. I simply said that a game can ignore the PS4 as long as MS pays enough.

Can't make an all out next gen game if you have to also make it playable on an older gen system, imo. I hope it's exclusive to the xbox one, personally.
So indignant. And so wrong.

Jesus...
The Order gets delayed, people go on and on about MS exclusives.
MS has a big E3 exclusive, people go on and on about Sony exclusives.
Where's Ron Perlman when you need him?

I agree L4D3 seems like a very likely candidate.
with a longer term view, it might not make sense to restrict yourself to Xbox one. However, for smaller developers, it may make sense to allow MS to provide seed capital to help you finish your game, and also significant marketing backing to grow brand awareness, with the potential of broadening your release to multiplatform with future games.
Why?
I could be wrong, but wasn't it revealed that Titanfall was not a money hat in the traditional sense? I thought it turned out it was much more like the DR3 or Bayonetta 2 situations, but with EA retaining the publishing rights.

Wasn't Titanfall in trouble if MS didn't step in? I'm pretty sure that was the case.

But what game? You think FIFA, GTA, Battlefield, COD, Fallout etc. caliber games can ignore market leader console's userbase just with Microsofts money?
I don't know why that would be a surprise. I associate Shenmue with Sega first, and Microsoft second.
I played Shenmue 2 on the Xbox.
Whatever it is...I'm excited for E3 this year. Very excited!!
Should be amazing from the big 3.
If you knew Valve's stance on MS you'd know why this would never happen.

You have to draw the line somewhere. I would say that if MS didn't publish it, it's a money-hat.
If it served their interest to paint Respawn as some kind of underdog studio (LOL) after the fact, that's good PR and is fine by me.
But I thought the game was in trouble and was at risk of not being developed at all. Seems like a weird, arbitrary line.
None that I can recall, for the reason I just outlined. They sure as shit moneyhatted a bunch of stuff for Destiny, though.
PLEASE.

I wish I could find the link on how surprised the devs were to find out EA sold exclusive rights to that game and the debate began on the details and how vince and co pretend to really know already but didnt. There were tweets about it and all how everone was in shock and awe. So if it was truly in trouble, then why would EA sell exclusive to MS instead of it being known from the get go?
Dunno where I read it but they had TF up and running on ps4 when that bit of news broke so, this TF shit is a clusterfuck of mind bending M night shit.
Oh well.

Yeah, the moneyhat talk, especially from frizby, is mostly erroneous and adding nothing to the conversation.
Yes and no. They funded the game's completion when it's was in trouble which got them a 13 month exclusive window and then they locked it down fully to MS platforms around E3. Also the fact it's not published by them makes it lead more close to money hatting.

Assets were leaked not too long ago. L4D1/2 were exclusive to xbox 360 in the console space, doesn't seem like it would be a big surprise.
Gabe's stance on PS3 was that it was absolute garbage and they should trash it/start over. Then he released steam for ps3 (which wasn't really much). I don't think they're hardliners at all.

If there's only one rumor about one game, well, that makes at least one exclusive.

How does this compare to all the third party exclusives Sony got in the PS1/PS2 era? I mean, sure Playstation was way ahead of the competition but there were still plenty of third party exclusives on the inferior hardware, and if those games had been available on Xbox in that generation (or available day one), it would have probably seen better sales of the consoles (not suggesting it would have been able to compete with PS2 because it wouldn't have, but if it had sold 27m instead of 25m units then thats still an improvement)
Were you upset that MGS4 and Haze didn't come out on 360?
If Xbox is known for "multi-million dollar checks" to third parties, they certainly didn't invent them
Yes it was, amongst other things. People just choose to ignore that fact since it won't fit their agenda.

Isn't that a bit presumptuous when we know nothing about it...? If its even true
.What happened to Respawn?

People will rage so hard if this happens..
I gave cogent examples, from both Sony and MS, of first party published games and of moneyhats. If you're too thickheaded to figure out the difference for yourself...

Or some Ea franchise..... They already did it once with Titanfall.
The difference between the 360 and PS3 was there came a point where all MS became was a check writing and Halo factory. Paying for exclusive third-party titles and exclusive DLC became the norm. Sony chose to invest in new IP. When the smoke cleared Sony had a pretty good catalog of first party titles while MS was busy cranking out Halo/Forza/Fable sequels and writing checks. One strategy yielded The Last of Us, the other got us windowed DLC for Call of Duty.
