Don't be such a debbie downer! (Destiny)

Guys - this thing is awesome! why are people whining about retailer pre-order exclusives... It makes sense that different companies would want to have different bonuses to offer as a way to counteract one store having the monopoly on pre-orders...

I think the complaint was that until the small print was noticed at the bottom of the video, it looked like the exclusive was not just cosmetic.

Non-cosmetic exclusives are BAD - because it means that the playing field's not level when you start. (This is a different issue than PURCHASEABLE non-cosmetic upgrades; that's a different kind of bad, and more debatable as to its 'badness' - because anyone willing to pay has access to the upgrade. In the case of seller exclusives, you only have access to the ones that YOUR SELLER is offering - it's far less reasonable to suggest that if you want all non-cosmetic upgrades, you have to buy multiple copies of the game itself to get them.)
