The difference is, exclusives usually just limit the game completely to that one console. You deal with it and simply don't buy it because you can't get it for your console. These timed exclusives still take your money, but give you less for it, that's why it's frustrating. Contract or not, if we payed equal price we deserve equal treatment. I don't hate the PS players for getting the exclusive or Xbox players with the ones they have, I hate the way companies try to make extra money at the expense of the gamers' experience. Now, I'm not necessarily mad about what I'm missing with the Destiny exclusive, but if I bought it for it full price, I kind of expect to be delivered the full package when I payed for it; or is that just self entitlement speaking? Xbox may have done that with COD, but when you were able to buy it they gave you the full package when you bought it, not just a slice of it at a time. I doubt I'll really wait a whole year for most of the exclusives and they'll be irrelevant for the most part by that time. These companies truly advertise about being for the gamers and by the gamers, they shouldn't make it like this where certain gamers get the short end of the stick when there's no reason to. I wish they would own up to what they say and not be as money driven with greed.
