The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Last and the Damned entire expansions of GTAIV, didn't launch until 6 months after the 360 release, on PS3. Nevermind PC, who had to wait until these expansions launched on PS3, before the game itself launched. So yeah, a map or two isn't that big of a deal. And you're forgetting that you don't have to buy it, either. You can wait a year until the content becomes multi-plat or however that'll work. Unfortunately, that's just how the industry has shifted over the past 10+ years, and the consumer ate it up. Right now PS4/Sony fans are giddy, because this is seen every bit as much as a victory to them, as the loss of GTA exlusivity, FF exclusivity, etc... felt and was to MS/360 owners. At issue is gamer's inability to see how their purchases now, effect the future of the industry. If everyone had resisted the urge to buy into the timed exclusivity shit, back when it first started, Bungie/Activision wouldn't be floating a new possible revenue strategy like this in Destiny. Likewise, you'd need a pretty substantial coordinated consumer response (across PS4/Xone) to boycott Destiny in order for the numbers to be low enough to send a message that this isn't ok. We know, however, that isn't going to happen. And 5 years from now, who knows how this concept will have morphed or been adopted industry wide. Especially if Destiny pulls in big numbers. |
and when they came out were some of the content locked away after you purchased it?
im not saying timed dlc is a good thing. i would perfer all dlc to come to every platform as thats the fairest thing to do. but locking away content for one console that pays the same amount as the other is in my opion worse then having to wait to play the full dlc
