Exclusive Content. And preordering
Dear Bungie/Activision
XB1 user here, but I think PS players are sympathetic to this too.
If you MUST have an exclusive content deal with someone for Destiny 2, do not make the content exclusive for such a long period as a year, or two as there is currently.
You are not fostering a long-lasting community spirit by alienating your player base in this way.
Personally I will not be tempted whatsoever to preorder while there is uncertainty around content exclusivity and how long it will last for.
From our perspective, we are paying the same and our customer value to you is the same, so when negotiating these contracts, please consider that you do not earn any respect from us if we think we're receiving an inferior experience for even 3 months when paying the same amount.
Please give us the opportunity to enjoy all the aspects of your great game at a much less displaced time.
Thanks for listening!

1 ReplyHonestly, exclusive content doesn't HELP PS4 users and it only harms XBONE users. Xur can't carry PS4 exclusives because he carries the same stuff across platforms. If that item isn't available to us, it won't be available to PS4 users through Xur either. Nightfall Strikes? The exclusive strikes can't be the nightfall on PS4 - because it can't be the nightfall on XBONE. So they don't get any additional strikes added in on the higher-end content. They have to play it at a lower difficulty level. So really, it doesn't enhance the PS4 play THAT much, but it is harming XBONE players. I get the whole deal about Sony willing to pay for exclusives and Xbox isn't. That totally makes sense actually, but in the end it is harming game experiences across both platforms in some way. As for pre-ordering? After my D1 experience, do they really think I'm going to throw money at my screen again just because they made yet another stellar trailer? I've learned my lesson this time around. Watch and see how the game is managed in those opening months. Watch to see if PVE is separated from PVP, and if endgame loot is going to be worth chasing again. Because if neither of these true, its just going to be Y2 all over again - which may be acceptable if you weren't a Y1 guardian. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) I experienced that golden era and anything less will simply not move me to purchase the game. There are a LOT of things I could buy with $250.00, including 3-4 FULL games at full price. Bungie could get my dollars, but they're going to have to earn them this time around. They failed to do it with RoI. Lets see if they can do better...
