Nice try Chris,but Planetweb (or th creators of
Planetweb) need to make money to stay around.
Thats why many "exclusives" on the PS2/GC haven't
lasted long.
GTA: San Andreas earns Rockstar more money, having
ported it to the XBox and Capcom will eventually port
Resident Evil 4 to the (grrrr) Playstation 2.
Its all about survival, and as far as companies go
they need to concentrate on making a profit.
As a sidenote, some of you may be aware that Acclaim
are no more (they filed for bankruptcy back in Sept
2004) and now you can add Titus (the parent company of
Interplay) to the list of developers/publishers gone
under in the last 24 months, making well over a dozen
in total ;(
Regards,
Andrew B
