PS Exclusivity Will Likely Cut Players
Now I could be very wrong and I know that deals like this are commonplace in businesses, but I can't imagine that Xbox gamers are going to accept being a year behind every time something new releases for the game. While there isn't anything we can do directly in order to get what we want other than switching consoles, I think we're overpaying for what we're receiving. If we only get 80% of all released content why are we paying just as much money as the PS gamers? I thought it was fine to know that PS was getting a few extra exotics. maps, and strikes before launch. What I didn't know though, was that they would be getting more out of the upcoming DLCs that most people have already paid for in advance. In this scenario it isn't even almost alright for us to pay 40$ for 80% of the content while forcing us to wait 1 year yet again just to get what the PS gamers already have. They paid and they received their money's worth. We pay, and we only get a portion of it with the rest coming so long after that we'll likely end up having enough money to purchase a PS and Destiny for the thing. I know already my brother is quitting Destiny for a long while. Probably until we've at least gotten half of what the other users are getting. This kind of business practice just doesn't make sense to me. Will Bungie really make more money by catering their multiplatform game to one console?

1 ReplyI get your frustration but this sort of practice has sadly become the default way for consoles to compete since the majority of games now come for multiple platforms they all get the same content if not for for these back room deals with developers. There is simply not much profit for developers in keeping games console exclusive so this is the next approach. I do not like it but there is little we can actually do other than to avoid games who do it. I suspect not a whole lot of us will do this so in the end its just another marketing tactic. Does it suck for the players? Yes but unless sales truly drop in significant numbers it will keep happening.
