"The RARE/Microsoft scandal"

I know what your going to say "Not another Rare topic!" but this is a bit different. Since I read the CUBE magazine in the latest issue I am outraged at what I have learned.
Since RARE has just released SFA before moving to MS, MS will get a small percentage of the money RARE gets from the sales of SFA! They are getting money off the game us Nintendoids have released (well soon for Europe).
Reply please with your comments.

As long as RARE is in MS's good books, they will bring out a lot of games but they will ovbiously end up slowing down again. Because they will be producing half rate games since they're being rushed, which is what RARE don't like as much.

Nintendo will still get more than MS do.

That's liscencing fees for you! :-)

Rare went to MS :O

also the games rare releases on GBA, the profits from them will go to MS aswell.

Glad i'm not paying for it then! ;D

Thanks SR. :)


But that is the way it works i'm afraid.

You knew that all of our will be abuse yes?

:)

Well, It seems that its not so much as a scandal but now Rare is with MS then any profits Should goto MS. Its the way it works but, Like if a PS2 Devopler was to make a Gamecube game, Wouldn't that profits goto PS2 and not Gamecube?
