It was announced as "coming exclusive to xbox holiday 2015".  MS does not have to make it clear, they are the publisher.  They control when things get announced.  

How come Sony did not straight up tell us about having Destiny DLC for a year?   Because they do the same damn thing, They let us sit on rumors for a month or so.   Get over it.   

These are reasons the PCMR laugh at console only gamers.  Dudes just argue over lame stuff.

Nope.

Reveal, with no platform mentioned, just a release window of "holiday 2015": http://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2014-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-coming-holiday-2015/1100-6420224/. Obviously, since it was at the XBOne conference, it was assumed that it'd be on that platform. But it was never stated as "coming exclusively"

Gamescom, it's now an XBOne exclusive: http://www.craveonline.com/gaming/articles/741687-gamescom-2014-rise-tomb-raider-xbox-one-exclusive

Then, in the immediate aftermath, CD explains that it's coming holiday 2015 "exclusively on Xbox", so, it now includes the 360: http://tombraider.tumblr.com/post/94529480860/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-update. And don't try and flip the words around because the semantics are important here. "Coming holiday 2015 exclusively to Xbox" and "Coming exclusively to Xbox holiday 2015" are different. The former, which is what they actually said, implies Xbox exclusivity with the game  and it's just releasing during the holiday. The latter, which they didn't say, implies exclusivity for the holiday period. 

Then, they announced "the deal has a duration", the day after Gamescom: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-13-microsoft-confirms-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-xbox-exclusivity-deal-has-a-duration

They didn't have to make it clear when the the exclusivity would end, but they did have to make it clear that it would end, and they did everything in their power to avoid doing it.

As far as Destiny have 1 year exclusive content, well: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Destiny-PS4-PS3-DLC-Exclusive-One-Year-64791.html. That became common knowledge from the jump. So it's not the same. There was nothing to be "rumored" about.

 

You're awful defensive of things that the quite clearly happened. It's not like I'm distorting facts or something. Everything is pretty obvious. I mean, RotTR was a pretty big issue this time last year.

 

So they showed it at E3 with no talks of exclusivity.  Then what? A month or two later at Gamescom the trailer says "coming exclusively to Xbox, holiday 2015". I literally stated they let us sit on rumors for a month or so, just like what Sony did.  

I truly do not care about the timeline of so called "facts" like you do. 

What is your point?  Not once did MS lie.  Its as if you think they are evil for not giving every detail of everything they announce as soon as possible. 

 

It was a big issue because MS did it.  If it was Sony who got the deal the majority of people on this site would not have cared.  But because MS did it, its reveresed.  Massive double standard goes on between MS and Sony.  And it really is pathetic.
