Two years, and people still whine and moan every update... (Destiny)

I'm surprised that Rev hasn't shown up to White Knight about principles and Justice for all. ;)

Seriously, they are likely going to have PlayStation exclusives EVERY SINGLE TIME content is released until at least Year 3. It was obvious from the moment they announced The Taken King.

I expect to bring up this same reminder the next time an exclusive is announced and the same bunch of folks start complaining.


And I will continue to look down on PS every time they release exclusive content.

Business is business. Nobody on Xbox was complaining about how unfair it was for Playstation folks to get content later every time there were exclusives. It took over a year for Bioshock to get released on Playstation, and five years for Mass Effect to see a release. Nobody on Xbox was mad at Microsoft. Now that it's on the other side...

Because I personally don't believe it's healthy for a gaming community. It's all about money.

I agree entirely. Exclusive content is annoying, and gamers would be far better off without it, but it has always been around as long as preorder bonuses and multiplatform games have existed. And if we get cross-plat gaming, the console-exclusive content will only become a bigger priority. At least the way it is now, players don't have to worry about unbalanced games because of console.

The funny thing is, it's not like PS needs to do this. They are doing it because they can.

I'm pretty sure that at the time of the deal, Sony didn't know that PS4 would be outselling Xbone 2:1. We don't know what the deal was. For all we know, they secured content exclusivity for all of the Destiny games over the next ten years.


Anyway, back to waiting for a weapon that will probably be crap by the time it comes to XBone.

I'm genuinely sorry about Hawkmoon. I really hope that Bungie decides to reactivate the Magic Bullet, given the five other nerfs that they gave it...
