WTF Exclusive DLC now?

As frustrating as it is for xbox users not having any exclusive content found on Playstation (extra pvp map, extra strike, extra exotics) and also all the PS4 events like the the ninja bounty, it must be really frustrating for all the creative people at Bungie to have the execs get in the way of their creation. Now it was announced today that Playstation will be getting another exclusive strike with the new dlc (and I can only assume same will go with the House of Wolves dlc) increasing the number of strikes to 9. This sucks because xbox owners who have spent the same amount of money on destiny and the season pass only get 7 and strikes are a key point in the replayability of Destiny. Bungie messed up because of the deal with Playstation they are hurting their customers on xbox which will result in player drop off and thus not being able to sustain the number of players desired for their 10 year plan. I really like this game and I am an xbox one owner who is starting to feel the fatigue. With all the great options for games, I doubt i will be able to make it 1 full year to get the content that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place. PS4 exclusives only benefit Playstation (not Playstation owners) because its designed to get people who either don't have a system and are using this game as a justification to purchase a console or the people who have both to buy it for their system. Gamers lose because of all these deals (Xbox lost on Destiny but PS lost on Tomb Raider worse imo), Programmers/Artist/Writer lose because the things they worked hard on are purposely not distributed to everyone. Sony and Microsoft win because people are forced to choose. I wish the console wars were more about developing new exclusive ips (Gears, Last of Us) and not cutting content (Tiger Woods releasing 19 dlc courses for $50 same day the game came out) or timed releases (cod). As a side note, retailer exclusives need to stop too. I hope bungie is addressing this issue and coming up with ways to rectify the exclusivity mistake. A few suggestions I have are: - xbox events (along with ps events) - additional free weapons/ armor (diluting the benefits ps owners get) - additional free add on strikes or variants (different enemy placement would do wonders) - modified strike playlist (playlist should have special currency and maybe less weapon xp) ---- example: only green/purple ammo drops from enemies (rocket strike would be so fun) ---- example: weapon type buffs (scout riffle would be OP for the strike) - more venders that accept vanguard marks (maybe some that accept a third currency that you get from my modified strike playlist suggestion) - confirmation that after the contract is over ps and xbox will have the same content Please feel free to add on to my list and hopefully bungie will fix this so that we don't see this as common business practices in the future.

  • Your math is wrong. After both expansions, ps will have 3 more strikes then Xbox.

    • Today I learned that this forum is filled with a lot of self entitled, whiny babies. Not all of you, but a lot of you. As others have mentioned Sony has a marketing deal with Bungie and this much was made clear well before you spent money on the game. You should really do homework on something you're spending money on. If you have enough time to post about it on a forum then you have time to read up on what you're buying.

        • Yup, we pay the same prices as PlayStation owners, but we get less content... again, for the SAME price! The new Bungie call this business... the old-school Bungie wouldn't and would've been more standup about supporting their loyal fanbase.

          • Exclusives will never stop because its a marketing thing.

          • They stated long before the game was released that the PS would have exclusive content through fall of 2015. This included the expansion packs. Bottom line it's business. Exclusives happen more and more frequently for games. Company A pays publisher B a certain amount to have exclusive content to their store or system so that Consumer C will choose Company A's store/system over Company B's. It's the industry.

              I don't want missing part out of the games. Id rather just have a game be exclusive.

              • The problem is, that the business practices really are only hurting the consumers.

              • Well spoken, the first post I've seen that doesn't slam anyone, but the publishers, and points out the faults with this business system. It's a shame all anyone sees in this post is either "haha revenge" or "screw Sony". It's much more than that.

                • The exclusivity of PlayStation stuff was known before launch. If you wanted it, should have gotten it in PlayStation. It's that simple. The division is going to have Xbox exclusivity. I'm not going to complain because I'm getting it on PlayStation. It's that simple.

                  • So what buddy. Theres exclusives whooptydoo. Thats why you should have a PS4. I have both but bought destiny for xbox even though sony has exclusives. Those do no good when the PSN is down all the time either for maintenance, bugs, hacks and god knows what else. If it is such a big deal then get a sony they are not expensive. Be thankful it is even available at all on xbox because i am pretty sure in the beginning destiny was sony only. I figure Microsoft ponied up bigtime to get it.

                    • microsoft has a similar deal with activision for call of duty. but its a month long stagger of content release, not a frickin year. and its sad that sony is willing to shell out that much money in a desperate attempt to grab more console sales, it will hurt them in the long run. playstation is garbage, their network gets a major cyber attack almost annually, and their customers personal data(bank cards) are compromised.

                      • Well, Microsoft got ALL CoD DLCs before playstation and you guys had halo which is a million dollar franchise. Get over yourself. Playstation is the future. Better hardware and software capabilities. It surpassed XB1 in sales on its first day by 21 million dollars. There are obviously more people playing ps3/4 in the world so that's why it's all PS exclusive. More people is more money. If you want it so bad then buy a ps4. More exclusive titles are coming out for PSN anyway. Most people only bought an XB1 because they are diehard xbox fans, not because they saw what it could do. Don't be angry at bungie. They are doing what any business would do in this situation- making the obvious choice to get more money. It's not personal, it's just business.
