I honestly love that this game is falling far short of sales expectations... I found it a little ridiculous that the franchise stabbed the Playstation (aka the series of consoles that have most supported said franchise) in the back, but much more than that, I wish gloom and doom upon every "timed exclusive".

That practice needs to die lol, I hope this is a significant enough failure to dissuade them and others from doing it again... But somehow no one loses their job over it as I'd feel like a dick for writing this.

 

I wonder how hard of a time MS is going to have getting timed exclusives after this. This was a huge bomb pretty much every franchise puts themselves at risk now signing any sort of exclusivity with MS. MS better hope this game turns around and does amazing on the rest of the systems that way devs  will feel like it's less of a risk.

 

I have to imagine people will be less willing to sign on for a timed exclusive. At the very least, it'll cost microsoft more.

 

It's really just asshole behavior... I rather doubt the knowledge that one console is getting a game a bit earlier than another has been the deciding factor in anyone's choice of system. All it serves to do is piss off a bunch of people and strain the relations between the fans and the devs.
