What really happened in this analogy is that Sony went to Activision/Bungie and Said "we'll pay you to not put leather seats in the Microsoft cars. They didn't pay to get stuff, they paid to keep other people from having stuff. RETARDED!! Microsoft rolled up to get their car and said "Where are our leather seats?" and the answer was "Sony paid us enough money to not let you have them. Sorry." We're all victims of corporate greed one way or another.
