What's fascinating to me is that this is happening with Destiny, but not with other games that offer timed exclusives on one console or the other. As many like to point out, there are few complaints when CoD provides exclusives to Xbox, so why is this different? I bet it comes down to the nature of the unique relationship between Bungie and its fans. The one common point to all the posts is how personally they are taking this-- a stab in the back, a slap in the face. And I don't think you'd get the same reaction if this was CoD or Far Cry or Borderlands or whatever. So yes, people are acting entitled, because they feel they have developed a personal relationship with the company. I don't think there's any way Activision or Bungie get to come out of this looking good. There are only two possibilities: 1. The backlash was not anticipated, in which case they failed to understand Bungie's relationship with its fans, or 2. The backlash was anticipated but the decision was made to proceed regardless, in which case they are guilty of taking Bungie's existing customer base for granted, just as the detractors claim

  • CoD exclusives are still a sore spot for me... even though I'm not a fan anymore. It's interesting that aren't many complaints anymore about it. I wonder if it's because destiny has a lot more people anticipating it's release.
