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.

  • You should be glad Xbox even got Destiny for it's console. From what I hear it was supposed to be PS exclusive.

            Again, Sony paid more money. Simple as that. No different than Xbox getting exclusives. Besides, you'll get it eventually. Btw, it already is a commonplace business practice.

          • You come up with ways to fix this "issue." Do you think it was overlooked? No. PS payed up and XB didn't. Therefore your ideas mean nothing, and changes have not and will not be made.

            • Don´t like the exclusive wars either (im on ps4) like you say its us gamers that loose on it in the end. Its the developers cheep/easy way to try to force us to choose "side". Think there will be less new good ip,s in the future. and some devs i just dont understand tbh. like Evolve they made the beta xbox exclusive. Since when where a BETA a demo and stop being a way for the devs to get the games tested before release?

              • Money talks. And Sony talked louder then Microsoft. Sadly I believe there shouldn't be any exclusive deals between consoles. If it's that great of a game make it available for everyone and give everyone everything... But money makes the world go round and the root of all evil. I'd rather be crying in my red Ferrari.

              • if it's that much of a problem for you just buy a ps4 and come to the dark side. it's like if I complain about the COD and there exclusives for the xbox. nothing comes of it. what they want people to do is invest more and more money into gaming. I mean the only way to prevent the console debate is having both consoles to game on, because I'm sure they won't ever be able to have every game release content to every console. it's going to be an endless debate and struggle for all.

                Whoever Necro-Bumped this deserves to rot in the hottest pit of hell, while being forced to chug ghost pepper extract, all the while chained up and being whipped at the limbs. For 10,000 years.

                • So? I'm an X-box One user and I don't really care. Monte Carlo sucks and Hawkmoon is good. But altogether, PSN only gets one extra strike. Get over it and move on!

                • It's Activision's fault. They made it so this game was PS4 exclusive and CoD was Xbox exclusive so they could mooch off of both consoles.

                • It's bc Microsoft didn't spend the extra money is why Xbox owners won't receive the PS exclusive content. It's not bungie's issue or something they need to worry about. Fact is they create the content. As long as the game sells and continues to be played, that's really all that matters.

                • Expect Sony to stop replicating Microsoft's behaviour when Microsoft stops practicing it. You've only got yourself to blame for supporting them in the first place. The longer Microsoft kept it up, the more likely Sony and the big publishers were to bite back. Wanna know what kind of company Microsoft is away from the headlines? Indie Parity Clause - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=947986 360 third-party devs unpaid for three months - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=944494 Only gonna get worse. Especially if the PC gaming market hands them another walled garden by sucking up free Windows 10. Expect subs for Windows, subs for Live (including online play on PC, which most devs will lock into Live through Windows 10 Live integration, 'to combat piracy,' aka maintain rrp and flog DLC like bitches,) subs for Office, subs for Media Player. Nothing but leeches, and karma's a bitch. Suck it up, and stop complaining.
