  • Do you understand the basics of a free market economy and competitive advantages created through strategic partnerships? No? You're just whining? Okay.

      It would be cool if Destiny had NES exclusives. Titan Exotic Chest - Hammer Chestplate "Forget the guns, grab those hammers" Mar-10, Exo Warrior. Perk 1: Inverse Shadow Perk 2: Invigoration Exotic Perk: HammerTime - Melee is changed to an overarching hammer that deals massive elemental damage based on subclass on hit, uses Melee charge. Crouching decreases Solar Damage received. Hunter Exotic Class Armor - Super Leaf The sky's the limit Perk 1: Increase Int / Increase Disc Perk 2: Rain Blows Exotic Perk: Flight - After running a distance, jumping will send you flying. Hold Jump to ascend, tap Jump to descend slowly. Melee uses cape to push certain enemies back. Warlock Exotic Chest - The Curse of Tanooki This stone skin is my curse and blessing Perk 1: Auto Rifle Ammo Perk 2: Auto Rifle Loader Exotic Perk: Stone Skin - Holding the melee button will turn you into stone. You are impervious to damage while in stone form but cannot move. Uses melee charge. Deals Kinetic damage if you land on an enemy while in stone form.

            You should've said "bad" instead of "illegal" because no one here is going to take you seriously. You know that..right..

              It's funny that they have to "sweeten" the deal to get you to play on that crap console. Lol

              • 1. Video isn't playing 2. It shouldn't be illegal cause it's something that the companies do for business. 3. This isn't the worst "exclusive" stuff we've seen. It's better than the entire game being exclusive.

              • Lol this is not going against what the free market stands for. It's called strategic partnership - having two companies bring together the best of what they have to bring a better product for their target market. This video is looking at it from a glass half empty point of view. It's called giving consumers an incentive to buy their product and enjoy the extra goodies that come with product A instead of product B that doesn't have the extra goodies. Companies don't have a gun to your head telling you to buy a Ps4. They're just trying to give you more reason to buy a ps4. Sony: You like destiny? Great! How about getting destiny on ps4 and you will get to enjoy some extra stuff you won't be able to enjoy on xbox1? If you were running a business and your direct competitor sold the same thing you did, what would you do to increase revenues? Let's say you both sold sports wear, how would you outdo you competitor to get people into your store instead of someone else's? You would offer better discounts; maybe buy one, get one free; buy a pair of shoes and get 2 pairs of socks for free. Does that go against capitalism and what the free market stands for? No. If you can afford to give a better deal or discount, then that's your competitive advantage over your competitors that will allow you to succeed over everyone else. But sometimes companies don't have the capabilities themselves to improve their product offerings to consumers. That is when they get together with another company that will allow them to give more for less, or rather more for the same price as the competitor. That is what Sony did. They got together with bungie and are offering you more content for just $60 bucks. And guess what? It was also sold on xbox1 for $60. Sony paid/invested money for ps4 customers to enjoy extra content. Now, just like bungie is offering an $80 version of the taken king that most of you don't need but still bought because you want that extra gear and experience boost, because it was enough incentive to pay $80 for a bundle that you pretty much already have (game, dlc1 and 2) Sony has done the same thing, offer you an incentive to switch or stay with them when playing destiny. It's up to you whether you think the exclusive content is enough incentive to switch over or not. It's their right and opportunity to give their customers or prospective customers exclusive content for destiny or any other game. That's their competitive advantage, and that's exactly what the free market is about.

                • It's a business practice. Not to be childish but ps4>Xbox one. I think it's really shady that the one stays on secretly when I turn it off

                      • If anything exclusives are the heart of free market capitalism. They drive competition. Want to do better than your competitor? Make/acquire better exclusives.

I urge you to take business policy and strategy course at your local college. What bungie and Sony did is pure horizontal integration. FYI, a company is in business to make money. Sony offered a substantial amount for the exclusivity rights. If they didn't then Microsoft would have gotten the rights. And you wouldn't have made this thread. You see it's more intricate than you think. If you truly want to make exclusive rights illegal than I suggest you use a different platform to voice your opinion.

                          • The exclusives are incentives to purchase the Playstation version of Destiny. Just like a sale is designed to want to make you buy a product, they are just something to sweeten the deal.
