How is this a bonus to you? Honest question. I'm just curious since the deal doesn't add a game to the XB lineup. It merely removes it elsewhere.
I feel this is a dangerous and anti consumer practice. It's bad enough that Sony has a bunch of exclusive destiny stuff, timed dlc already sucks.
But the precedent is not something I think should be encouraged beyond saving shelved/unfinanced titles. Sony already has a 2:1 advantage and the gap is only going to get larger in raw numbers due to global rates. It would be cheap for Sony to decide to do the same with even larger franchises should this prove effective. GTA6 PS4 exclusive for example or COD, Fifa, etc. If they start this too it will suck hard. And I'll call them out on it, I fully believe that paying money just to keep things from other gamers adds nothing, it just poisons the industry and hurts gamers.
