10 dead flies all day. (Destiny)

Now that we've talked about that, let's talk about the grandfather of being an asshole when it comes to exclusivity: EA Sports. Specifically Madden. Whaaaa? Yeah. Madden has exclusive rights to the NFL. Period. And they keep renewing the contract, which literally forces potential competitors out of the football game market. It's brutal. It's a monopoly. And it's very bad for consumers.

So sure, The Division does a shitty thing for one month. Destiny does a really shitty thing for one year. And then EA and the NFL have been doing a preposterously shitty thing for 10 years already with no end in sight.

Also Star Wars. Granted, other developers can make sci-fi games, but they can also make off-brand football games.
