Not as salty as me. (Destiny)

Love ya, Raga, but I can't relate (and I've tried). There were probably technical reasons as well as business reasons for limiting the alpha to the PS4. I can understand disappointment and jealousy and railing against exclusivity in the video game industry as a problem. I can't understand treating it like a personal betrayal by Bungie. The alpha access was a very short-lived bonus.

The worst part about exclusives seems to be their reveal. Or, the anticipation. For example, once XBox got access to the previous exclusives (i.e. the 1st round exclusives like Hawkmoon) I found out I did not care.

And I never cared. I mean I almost always played strikes as part of a playlist, so on the PS4 I'd get an exclusive strike every once in a while and think: this is something I haven't played very often. But I never recall missing anything on the Xbox. It might have been different if I'd become attached to the exclusive exotic or something, but half the time I didn't get those anyway.
