Exclusives, equality and social issues (Destiny)

It's interesting.

If you didn't know there was a difference, would it matter to you? Would you be perfectly content thinking that destiny on PS4 and XBone was the same?

Probably not. Yes. My question is, is it ok for a dev to treat some players to more content than others based on something so arbitrary as console choice? Everyone pays the same amount of money.

I've had gaming experiences in the past, which I really liked, destroyed by online communities. The reason was I'd go "learn" about the game but essentially just go read a bunch of negative crap, that vastly outweighed the real information I gained. It basically soured my attitude towards the game.

I think the PS4 exclusives can do that to a degree as well if you let it.

If it bothers you enough, buy a PS4. If not, walk away. Treat it like the gun that will simply not drop for you. And be happy that said gun isn't being used against you. There's not much difference really.

I don't think buying a PS4 solves the "problem" it only proves that kind of content excusivity works to move specific hardware. It doesn't bother me, not really anyway, I just saw it as an interesting conversation. :)

And yeah, at least it's not being used against me!!!!

(I still don't have a jade rabbit for example. And I'm not bitter. :D )

I'm missing a few things too, not bitter either. It's not the RNG (that's another topic) it's locking players from getting it entirely based on platform preference. That's an interesting ethical decision to me.
