Good grief. You have gone to great lengths to twist my words into other meanings. I have been saying the same thing over and over and you keep willingly misunderstanding me and then accusing me of being inconsistent. What you fail to understand is that a person's opinion of 1st/2nd party exclusives and 3rd party games can be different because they are, in fact, different subjects.
I'm going to reply to your extremely long and distorted account of my post with a simple statement to try to keep you from twisting my words further.
Here goes:
1. FF Vs 13 is NOT under contract by Sony. I believe it and all 3rd party games should be multiplatform.
2. Gears of War IS under contract by MS. I believe 1st and 2nd party games are the same and therefore while under contract can remain exclusive.
3. FF Vs 13 is NOT a 2nd party Sony game so Square Enix would be stupid to ignore the profits to be made on as many platforms as possible. 3rd party devs should always make multiplatform games. They would be stupid not to. Unless an exclusive contract is so good they would be stupid to ignore it. Sony has yet to offer Square such a deal as MS has with Epic. If Sony did and Square Enix accepted it than it would be a 2nd party exclusive and I would respect that. I just don't respect independent 3rd party platform exclusives outside of contracts.
4. Your wishing for Sony to buyout FF Vs 13 is NOT the same as my respecting the exclusivity of the MS/Epic Gears of War deal. IF Epic was NOT under contract, but made Gears of War exclusive I would call for it to be multiplatform just like I am calling for FF Vs 13 to be multiplatform. But Epic entered into contract with MS and Square Enix has not entered into contract with Sony. Therefore FF Vs 13 can and should be multiplatform. Not only that but unless Sony pays them a ton of money Square Enix would be stupid to make it exclusive.
5. 1st party exclusives are a given. 2nd party exclusives are unfortunate for gamers, but like 1st party games they are fine. 3rd party exclusives should not happen. None of these opinions are mutually exclusive.
EDIT: I want to address your love of Sony. I understand it. I'm a fan of many things and I want to see those things continue. But I really am having a hard time understand you. You want other gamers to suffer so that your favorite company wins? I suggest you go out and buy all the major consoles and play games like Zelda Skyward Sword, Halo 4, Mario Galaxy, Gears of War, etc. I think you need to play more games so you can see that there are more games worth playing than just on Sony systems.
