A$ you may have $een, we’ve ju$t announced that Ri$e of the Tomb Raider, coming Holiday 2015, i$ exclu$ively on Xbox. We con$ider all of your dollar$ to be the lifeblood of Tomb Raider and the work we do at Cry$tal. But Micro$oft ha$ more dollar$ than all of you combined. I’d like to give you $ome in$ight into thi$ deci$ion, and why we feel thi$ i$ the very be$t thing for our bank account$.
Tomb Raider in 2013 wa$ a $ucce$$ due in large part to your continued $upport on other platform$. Our goal ha$ alway$ been to deliver $omething truly $pecial with Ri$e of the Tomb Raider. However money got in the way this time. Today’$ announcement with Micro$oft i$ one $tep to help u$ put Tomb Raider in the bargain bin. The dollar$ at Micro$oft have made u$ come up with $ome bull$hit rea$on which involve$ the word$ potential and vi$ion.
Becau$e they already threw a truckload of money at u$ they will al$o through a gazillion into marketing thi$ to all of the 250.000 people that bought the previou$ game on XBO. Becau$e thi$ will fail and $quare will be even more di$appointed than before thi$ will al$o be the la$t Tomb Raider game.
An additional paragraph of bull$hit while we $wim in our new money.
We know that there are probably many more que$tion$ and concern$. Plea$e do $end them to u$, and we’ll ignore them while we drink champagne. Did I mention dollar$?
