Was Microsoft's vision for Vanguard Vista exclusive? [Update 1]

May 17th 2006 2:37PM (Joystiq)
Talk about reaching. This has got to be the stupidest rumor to date.

How dumb do you take worldwide gamers anyway? Vanguard is obviously not done and MS was getting irritated. When the contract came up for renewal, MS said good-bye. Sigil was probably more like good-riddance, too. They knew they had SOE to fall back on.

Is this really any big revelation? Any moron could figure out that a contract was drawn, it had a due date and if it wasn't met, we'll cya later. Does anyone really believe Sigil didn't prepare for the day when MS would put the pressure on if Vanguard wasn't delivered?

Further proof is in the fact that game isn't near done. MS sensed a stall. They opted not to renew and probably because technologies are moving too fast not to be publishing NOW. The more Vanguard waits to be done, the more it's going to have problems competing with what's in the lineup. So packaging it together with an All Access subscription would make better sense because it's not going to be done enough to compete on it's own.

This makes a hell of a lot more sense then some stupid Vista theory.
