Cross-platform exclusives and dlc exclusives are a very unethical business practice, timed or not.
You drive through a drive through and get a combo meal, you pay $9. The car in front of you ordered the exact same meal and paid $9 as well. You pull up and get your combo only to find out that the fries won't be available until next week. You ask why and find out it's because you're driving a Ford. You ask about the car in front of you and find out they got their fries because their driving a Nissan and Nissan has made a deal with the company.
Now yes you'll get your fries, once they are no longer of any value.
This is an unethical business practice.

PS players only play with PS players so exclusives don't matter unless you make them matter. If PS and Xbox players played together it'd be a different story. Personally I'd love for us all to play together but why make an issue of a non issue when it comes to timed exclusives?
-
By the way it'd better to say something like, so I went to my games store and bought a PS4 but the guy before me got a Xbox one and he got voice commands. I was told I'd have to wait for voice commands and now I'm annoyed!
-
It is an issue. An issue that needs to be repeatedly thrown in ANY developers face that does this.
-
It is an issue for you! To be honest I'd almost forgotten about it till you bought this stupid topic back up. Just shows how little I care, in fact I like it this way!
-
And you comment to continue to bump this topic why?
-
Simple you haven't explained why its an issue and your making an issue out of thin air. Like I said PS don't play with Xbox so where is the issue? And before you say Bungie started on Xbox or something to that effect they started on Mac till Microsoft bought them away and made Halo an Xbox exclusive which is something to be pissed about! If your a Mac user back in the day. Time exclusive is nothing but it does mean that us Xbox owners have something to go back for that PS guys don't.

You must have not read what you're replying to.
-
Yes I did, did you?
-
Nope, I had a ghost writer.
-
Thought so
-
Yup, bet you did. You also apparently like cold fries 12 months after purchasing your combo.
-
I like perfected fries after 12 months. Think of it this way if it makes you feel better. PS users are being Guinea pigs for Xbox users so we get a better product. Does that help because its the truth?
-
You can like to think that all you want. It's not the case. They are still the same fries you bought on the original purchase date.
-
Didn't buy fries I bought into a 10 year bag of sweets and if I got every sweet at once I'd be disappointed as they'd be all gone by now and I'd have nothing to look forward to.
-
Some of the dumbest shit I've read to date. Go get and Xbox if you want to "savour the flavor" betcha won't

Edited by Foreboy: 11/20/2014 5:13:07 AMLol not a very good come back! I have a Xbox 360 and a One and Destiny on both and I'm not complaining about a non issue. I have Xbox's because I like the controller and Halo. I knew what Destiny was a long time before I got it and I'm not disappointed. You on the other hand seam to be upset because the Jones (PS) got something a little bit sooner than you and might I add that from what I've read about it its the weakest part. We will get it and it will have no real effect on Xbox gamers except its something to look forward too after the 2 DLCs. Plus it will be better because PS have play tested it to death for us so we don't have to. Please come back with something better than a fry story.

Edited by Foreboy: 11/19/2014 5:39:06 PMAnswer this if Xbox players didn't know about it how would it even be a tiny issue? Your talking about a reason to buy a PS4 instead of a Xbox One that's it. But PS4 doesn't have Halo which to me is a bigger selling point. Its business. Don't hear many PS guys complaining about Halo and that's a bigger loss.
-
By the way here's an argument for you. But no one will be playing Destiny then because its so boring! I'm so pissed about it I'm going to quit!
-
Edited by Foreboy: 11/19/2014 5:44:48 PMI love Destiny
-
My reply. What ever just stay or go what ever you wish. Destiny's being improved all the time and to me this is just the base game from here on everything's gravy and I'll still be playing

Bad explanation. If a restaurant is selling drinks to its customers, and they've made an announcement prior to them selling drinks that those with specific cups get a little more, wouldn't it be the logical choice to buy the cup if you enjoyed the restaurant? If you wanted Destiny exclusive content because this was the game you wanted the most, you should have bought the cup, my friend. Plus, perhaps people should remain optimistic about the DLC. Stop pretending like they're taking things away from the XBONE when everyone gets the same content; the ps4 users just bought the special cup, hence the extra strikes. AND you guys get the content later on anyways, despite purchasing the special cup. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!
-
yeah when the game is dead
-
Sony payed a loooooooooooooot of money to get those exclusives.
-
Agree

I see where u are going to I have xbox and I'm not spending 300$ and another 120$ for ps4 and the game plus content i hate the fact they can't make it same time opening for the content
