Are exclusives anti-consumer?

No. Exclusives receive extra funding to get the best out of the hardware. It's only in the interest of the consumer if they want to enjoy the full potential of the hardware they spend good money on.

I think exclusives are important for every platform, it gives a platform it's identity.
Myself and I assume the bulk of the PC community just hate bait and switch tactics.

PC is a bit of an odd ball. In the past it was just Mac and PC (and a bit of Linux) vying for games, yet now with digital stores it's starting to turn into a mess. Win 10 only games, windows store only games, now Epic exclusives and what not. It's all the same platform. Store identity instead of platform identity.

Anyway I didn't like it either when Valkyria Chronicles went handheld only. Franchises switching exclusivity is not very nice.
