From what I heard they're not paying them to not show the games, but if the game is cross-platform to not mention that fact at all and just mention the Xbone version.
So we might be under the impression that a number of XBone games are exclusives, and they aren't? Wow... That certainly doesn't help them.
Also, regarding the 3DS, I have difficulty justifying the purchase. Nintendo's apple-esque approach to its handhelds annoys me, and I can't handle the 3D feature. I know it's not required, but it just seems crazy to purchase a 3DS when the only real difference is that its a DS that handles 3D. I seriously doubt that any 3DS game, sans the 3D stuff, couldn't actually be played just fine on the DS.
So it just feels like being forced to purchase something for no good reason...
Granted, I want the Fire Emblem game. And Pokemon XY. I imagine I'll live, though.
