Alright, so there has been no end to people complaining about the game being carved up, stuff being removed for DLC, etc. Most of it I agree with, but I'm still enjoying Destiny. Now, I've known there's Playstation exclusive stuff. I get it, you don't like Microsoft and Sony/Activision threw a bunch of money at you. (So you immediately go and sign up with [i]Activision[/i] after getting out of your MS contract? But that's another rant.) But an entire Strike? Let me get this straight. You're punishing [b]your paying customers[/b] by withholding content in a game where lack of content is one of the largest complaints, simply because they're playing [b]your game[/b] on a system made by a company you're a bit butt-flustered with and are open to taking a bit of cash to mess with? You're mad at someone, so you take it out on those loyal to you? That's pretty messed up. When you're creating a game, you need to be asking yourself "does this thing I am investing effort in benefit the players." And if the answer is "no" - as is the case here - then there is no reason you should be doing it. None. [b][i]Edit:[/i] For those asking, the strike is Dust Palace on Mars.[/b] [b][i]Edit 2:[/i] Since apparently some people still think the console wars are a thing, I'll add that this post is not about Xbox being better or deserving anything; it is not about us vs you or we get this exclusive and you get this exclusive. I would be making this post no matter which console I personally play on. We are all gamers. I do not segregate based on platform, gender, race or creed and neither should you. This post is about excellent developers wanting to create excellent products for their excellent customers. It is about the growing acceptance of developers intentionally going the extra mile to do things that very specifically are not in their customers' best interests.[/b] [b][i]Edit 3:[/i] Alright, this post has kinda blow up and there are a couple common themes I'll address here rather than constant replies: [/b] [b]1)[/b] [i]"But Bungie already sold out with Halo being XBox exclusive, this is just more of the same!"[/i] No, it's actually not. Now, I'm going to have to swallow my pride here, because as a long time PiD-Marathon-Myth Bungie Mac fanboy, I was pissed at the time. But at the end of the day, [b]it was done with us, the customers, in mind.[/b] With the funding they received from Microsoft, they were able to turn their small but impressive MacWorld demo into a full fledged, gorgeous game. And (while it pains me to say it) with the newly emerging Xbox console, they were able to reach a fan base far greater than they ever would have on the Mac. Compare that to the "exclusive" content here. We have stuff developed and then roped off for half of the player base, for no reason from the customer's standpoint. We have zero benefit here. Bungie is now a well established company. They are backed with hundreds of millions. The additional cash provided by small exclusivity bonuses no doubt had little bearing on the final product that is Destiny. This is the difference. This is the problem. [b]2)[/b] [i]"PS4 deserves it, go suck a nut you Xbaby"[/i] I already covered this, but apparently people don't read? Maybe if I type it twice. We're all in this together, guys. We don't need to segregate ourselves into petty communities based on the logo on the front of our plastic box. We're all gamers, and we all want the best experience possible. So drop the juvenile tough guy act. Sonic and Mario put aside their differences ages ago, you can too. [b][i]Edit 4:[/i] TL;DR "Console exclusive stuff is just how it works, what can we do about it?"[/b] We can let the people making the games know that we don't appreciate being carved into groups and set against each other like a corporate dog fight. We can voice our opinions on forums meant for feedback, like these ones right here. [b][i]Edit 5:[/i] BEHOLD, the Ball-Pit Echo-Chamber. Should you find your comments enclosed within its walls, then I fear you have missed the point of this thread entierly.[/b] [url]http://i.imgur.com/9DCo2JT.jpg[/url] [i]Grasp at the netting and fight for air; there are those of us who would assist you in escaping its confines, should you so allow us.[/i] If you need proof of the divided community that these sort of things create, you need look no further than the replies to this post.
