>Implying exclusivity was unfair... (Destiny)

Ultimately it's all subjective, but I don't think that the exclusive content has been unfair. Unfair would have been hitting you with no warning upon release. Announcing the existence of Exclusive content over a year before release to give players time to pick and choose consoles was extremely fair. HAVING exclusive content is not about fairness, it's about business, and anything beyond that is the responsibility of the player.

Take, for example, Rise of the Tomb Raider. It has timed exclusivity for the Xbox. This was announced well before the game released, so while I am bummed that I won't get to enjoy it until it comes out on PS4, I accept that that's just the way business is run over at Squeenix, and so can choose to:

• Buy it for Xbone (yeah, no).
  
• Wait until it releases on PS4 (after reviews have been around a while, at a possibly lower price, and maybe with DLC).
  
• Simply not buy the game, or buy it used to prevent Squeenix getting my money if I don't approve of their practices.

All fair options.

Destiny was much the same way, except Bungie told us of exclusive content before the current consoles even came out, so there's that...
