What you don't seem to understand: there is a difference between moneyhatting and timed exclusivity.

Timed exclusivity is a broad definition. It doesn't matter if the exclusivity time frame gets announced or not. It also doesn't matter if someone pays for exclusivity or not.

ROTT was a timed console exclusive for 11 months, but only a timed exclusive for 3 months. "Timed console exclusives" is and intersection of "timed exclusives" and "console exclusives":

And why is the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy not a timed exclusive? PS4 version in June 2017, PC+XBO versions in June 2018, so 12 months difference. PCs and XBOs EVEN EXISTED in June 2017.

And why is Detroit: Become Human not a timed exclusive? PS4 version in May 2018, PC version in autumn 2019, so 16 - 18 months difference. PCs EVEN EXISTED in May 2018.

And why is Batman: Arkham VR not a timed exclusive? PSVR version in October 2016, PCVR in April 2017, so 6 months difference. PCVR headsets and PCs EVEN EXISTED in October 2016.

And why is Moss not a timed exclusive? PSVR version in February 2018, PCVR in June 2018, so 4 months difference. PCVR headsets and PCs EVEN EXISTED in February 2018.

And why is Skyrim VR not a timed exclusive? PSVR version in November 2017, PCVR in April 2018, so 5 months difference. PCVR headsets and PCs EVEN EXISTED in November 2017.

And why are the listed DLCs no timed exclusive DLCs? For most of them the timed exclusivity was even announced.

"Almost none of those are timed exclusives."

I didn't say all.

What a cop-out!

So you can't explain why Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, Detroit: Become Human, Batman: Arkham VR, Moss, Skyrim VR and the DLCs aren't timed exclusives.

So can you explain why Battlezone, Borderlands 2 VR, Polybius, Resident Evil 7 VR, REZ Infinite, Tethered, Danganronpa 1 - 3, Dragon Quest Builders, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, World of Final Fantasy, Ys VIII aren't timed exclusives.

Here is a hint if the switch WASNT EVEN OUT YET - you can't call them timed exclusives. Because there was no intent to keep them from going anywhere. Because THERE WAS NO WHERE TO GO.

I wasn't even thinking about the Switch version of Disgea 5 when I listed it above, i was refering to the PC version... and PCs are existing since a few decades.

And you'd have to look into the game. Did they release the game. See that it went well THEN decide to port that game? That isn't a timed exclusive. That is a port.

No, you don't have to look into the game and if the developers planned to release other versions later. The game was exclusive and the exclusivity gets broken by the second version, making the game "timed exclusive". You are making your definitions and exceptions up to fit your argument.

If not "timed exclusive" what is a game after the release of a second version on a different platform? Still an exclusive? Was it never an exclusive to begin with? Is it in exclusivity limbo now?

I'm not your teacher. I'm not going to grade your home work. You want to prove a point - you research it first. I can already tell you it is an F just on not knowing the definition of timed exclusive in the first place.

You embarrass your point by trying to argue that Disgaea 5 is a "timed exclusive", while ignoring actual points like YES the destiny DLC IS timed exclusive.

This is the second time you are trying to pull the discussion on a personal level.

And do you know and can prove the definition of a timed exclusive? Where can we read that definition?
