Stop humanazing big corporations.

MS, Sony, Nintendo and everyone else out there doesn't care about trust, disagreements, or "playing nice". They will do what is most profitable for them. Sometimes that means doing something pro-consumer, like announcing the backwards compatibility program or releasing exclusives on PC day one, other times it means buying out the competition and securing exclusive releases to fight off the competition.

The idea that Microsoft of all things would "play nice" with Sony, as if they were children playing together in the schoolyard, is absurd, and revisionist at its finest considering Microsoft's history in and outside the gaming sphere.
