So let's use Rayman Legends as an example. Ubisoft obviously has seen Nintendo as a way to grow their revenue stream with casual titles on Wii and the original content and ports it brought to WiiU. Customers who really like Rayman and bought a WiiU because it was advertised as an exclusivehave been cheated twice, once for the lost exclusive and again for the massive delay. Why shouldn't Nintendo be able to step in and defend its consumers in this regard by issuing sanctions against Ubisoft content in the future or, as a major extreme, revoking their license agreements?
lol - because, you know, games companies when they tie up games for exclusivity NEVER have get out clauses! And nothing gets other 3rd parties in to the fold than being SANCTIONED! Fuck me.
Most likely this was a "If WiiU machine levels are not at X million, then we reserve the right to go multiplatform" and given how great the other Ubi games didn't do, then i have no idea why even people working at Ubi are complaining. This is protecting THEIR jobs. Okay - you worked hard for 6 months - here's a medal - but ultimately if the upper management saw that this thing was potentially heading into the BOMBOLATOMBOLA then they did absolutely the right thing to trigger any get out clauses that they had in place.
Fanboys and Devs a like seem to think that companies are run by Fanboys and they -aren't-. If they were they'd all be bankrupt rather than just a large slew of them.
If Nthings want to blame anyone they should blame their "OH WOW! BOW AT NINTENDO!" fanbase who failed to pick up 3rd party games in any significant way and instead are sitting around playing another fucking Mario game and Nintendoland. Prize fucking turnips to them all.
