Solutions for the future of Destiny's Xbox fans
I'm writing this firstly because I believe like many of fans that this beta and others things are unfair. So PS users got an Alpha and that should have been enough, but to prevent Xbox users getting their fair share is just alienating us. I think the best thing to do instead of complain is to speak out and ask for this to be amended. So I've started a poll to ask what you guys would like to fix this. I personally think extending the Beta to be the same length as the PS users but extending post 26th, so they get their exclusive early access. There are other issues including DLC that contains more things for the PS than the Xbox, which will be charged at the same price on all platforms. Again this is equally unfair and one sided. To those PS user who will no doubt mock this post, please read carefully that I haven't mocked you and all I want is some form of active fair user policy for all of us.
Please vote honestly and post your concerns, but please be constructive and help your fellow gamers.
Also thanks to Darth Turelim for point out, that it would be really helpful if everyone who votes posts a comment to that effect. Please also share this out and maybe we can get something changed.
Thanks

Edited by WrathOfDionysus: 7/28/2014 1:14:32 AMThis is going to be a lengthy rant. So... Get comfy. I'm a PS4 player who switched over from the 360 during the next gen crossing. As a lot of people are aware, Xbox used to get all the exclusives, early access, and basically foot-licking attention from game developers, companies, news outlets, and more. I hated it. I really did. I hated the fact that every time a new game came out there was animosity between systems. Nobody in their right mind was going to purchase an Xbox (having a PS3) just to get to those exclusives, and while I'm sure some newcomers came rolling it, it mostly created a dirty relationship between Xbox and PS fans. Then, I switched to PS4. I was planning on it even before Xbox started their whole DRM drama, because I was sick of paying a monthly fee (didn't escape that one), and not getting anything except a bunch of whiny kids for it. I didn't mind joining the other side, I wanted out of the money-sucking, dirty community that was anything Microsoft had to deal with. And then: Playstation. It was like they [i]knew[/i], like it was written in the stars, that as soon as I switched over, this same distaste for tainted spoils would follow me to the PS4. I understand that Bungie probably just wants to disestablish themselves from Microsoft, but what they need to realize is by playing the ball game from the other team like this that they're perpetuating this dirt that has plagued the gaming community for a while. "Cross-platform" should actually mean it, not dressing up as cross-platform and flipping through a Burn Book with a swollen, pissed off lip seeing how else they can get back and their X(box). Ugh. I just want everyone to have a fun experience. None of this "sorry, you chose the wrong side" crap. I want to be sharing stories about how much fun I'm having with everyone, because I've got friends on both Xbox and Playstation. If you want to tailor your game for one of the two audiences, then do so. But don't prance around like you're selling the same experience to both sides when you're obviously being a passive-aggressive company about it, getting paid to wiggle your game around in one groups face while slapping the other group with it. Sorry for the rant. If you've actually read this, kudos to you. I just wanted to get this out, haha. Honestly, I don't know about [i]extending[/i] the beta, but offering both consoles the DLC at the same time is definitely a must.
