    Personally I wonder how many people think like me and would never buy a platform using scummy tactics like exclusives.

      Just see how many of us buy consoles. They all have exclusives. And that’s not scummy. That’s how shit has always been and that’s ok. If a dev can focus on one set of hardware/os they can optimize for that. Just look how amazing the latest gen Sony exclusives are.

        Yeah this argument doesn’t really hold up anymore. It is not as hard as it used to be to make games run on different hardware. I don’t think it is cost prohibitive for them to handle multi platform on modern hardware with modern software. I also don’t think exclusives benefit the people buying video-games. Exclusives don’t seem to benefit the people who make the games. They are mostly beneficial to the companies who sell the consoles. And who gives a fuck about them?
