Nah I don't care about a game like Titanfall just like I don't care about paying for an exclusive like Bloodborne or Death Stranding. Personally I'd prefer to not see third party games moneyhatted but a timed exclusive is preferable to something like SFV that never comes to the other platforms.

How is Street Fighter V being permanently exclusive to PS4 and PC in any way different than Titanfall and Dead Rising 3 being permanently exclusive to XB1 and PC?

Listen, I agree that timed exclusivity and 3rd party moneyhats need to stop. But you guys have to be consistent. It doesn't make any sense to complain about the instances on PS4 and ignore the instances on XB1.

In the case of DR3, because Capcom said the game was never going to happen without Microsoft. In the case of SFV, Capcom said it would have taken a long time without Sony. Not to mention you're talking about a pretty small time franchise versus Street Fighter. One franchise Capcom was going to let die without Microsoft support, the other you'd have to be an apologist to actually believe would have never happened had Sony not gotten involved.

Personal taste also plays a part in this. You won't see me complaining about Shenmue 3 exclusive stuff because frankly I don't give a shit about the game.

Titanfall is different and I've said on this forum numerous times that I wish PS4 users could have played it. But in that games case Microsoft was already heavily invested and EA struck a deal. If they made Jedi whatever Xbone exclusive I would also say that's a bum deal and PS4 owners should get to play it. Who are "you guys" exactly? I'm expressing my own opinion here.
