Depends but likely difficult (Gaming)

I want a future in which people choose platforms by preference (i.e. which controller, which games service, where friends are, etc) rather than exclusives. I know exclusives help get games funded, but I feel like exclusivity - while beneficial in some narrow scopes - has had an adverse impact on gaming in general.

The only bit of exclusivity I've seen hurt gaming has come through Destiny:

1. Exclusive content on one of the game's platforms despite no technical reason for this.
2. No interoperability of multiplayer between platforms.

But the irony is, neither of these would have been an issue if Destiny had say, been a PS4 exclusive in the first place.
