without exclusives game consoles would be useless and everyone would switch to PC without question

If there weren't exclusives, why would there need to be more than one console?

Pc technically gets the most exclusives right? They really need to start sharing more of them with consoles. It's damaging the industry.

(look at my avatar before reading)

I don't want all these chinese games.

Neither do I but we can't have pots calling the kettle black! You'll get people moan oh why is this on consoles but not pc, oh why is this on 1 console but not pc. but you'll never hear them say, oh look XCOM devs only making it on PC. Bad devs, bad for the industry should be made for consoles too.

The sooner we get over this double standard the better.

"Now before you start blasting me about this deal being completely different, let me explain something. When a game comes out on 1 platform and isnt allowed on another console, its moneyhatting regardless on how you look at it."

So titles like Crisis Core or Drakengard are moneyhatted simply because the developer chose to develop on a single console? There's a lot more factors involved than simply "moneyhatting." Your stance is very jaded, and if anything exclusives help this industry more than anything. If every game comes to all machines then what's the point of three different boxes?

But this situation IS different, there is no way to deny it.Kojima just opened his studio, and unless he is secretly a multi millionare, he will need to find a publisher to fund his game, since I guess the money th studio has is really small, being a new studio.So having Sony entering with the money and just asking a game out of the deal, so that Kojima makes money with this first game has better chances to make his many other games without need further banking or publishing(or at least to a smaller degree) is the best case scenario for everyone.Exclusivity in excess may hurt the industry, but this dosnt.Actually, the competition is good for the industrie health.To be quite honest, you just sound butthurt that you wont have a PS4 to play his game.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Btw there are lots of PC exclusive games in the market. There are also hurting the industry. This needs to stop. Lol. This dual mentally is carefully skipped by OP.
