>Implying exclusivity was unfair... (Destiny)

If I'm hypocritical in supporting a business practice I don't like then so is everyone else who bought the game as I haven't seen one person who said they think the timed exclusivity is a good thing. I certainly put Sony consoles on my "never buy" list because of this Destiny decision of theirs though. And I bought a 360 version of Destiny and will buy an Xbone version of Destiny. Do I hurt Sony more by not buying their console or by buying their competitor's because of the crappy deal they (Sony) left me with?

Dude,

Microsoft does this rampantly. I guarantee you that Activision/Bungie was in talks with both console developers over exclusive features, and Sony offered better terms- Heck, Maybe their willingness to eventually allow Xbox players access to these features is what helped them win that battle? I can think of plenty of multi-platform games that have permanent Xbox exclusives.

What I want to know is what did Activision/Bungie get out of this? And what would have happened if they just said "No one gets exclusive features"?
