Simple.You wouldnt use the word exclusive.Why?Because they arent exclusive.

For games that are only on PS4, you say:"These games are PS4 exclusives!".For games that are playstation exclusive(as in there are versions for PS3 and Vita, you say"These are exclusive to the Playstation family/ PS4 and Vita!".And for games that have a PS4 version, but is not exclusive to the PS4 due to having some version on PC, you say "Available on the PS4!".

I mean, it couldnt get more simple.If in the end a game is multiplatform and for some reason is not available on, lets say, XOne, you say "That game is available everywhere except XOne", or just list every single system.It takes seconds to write that.

We are in a videogame forum.We are videogame enthusiasts.If we are not correct about those kind of games and tend to turn a blind eye just to make a certain system better than it needs, who will be correct about those things?And there is always that one user that dosent know that he could purchase, either for less or it is more convenient for him, a version on the PC.

So you'd want this person to go down this and say "These are exclusive to the Playastation Family/Ps2/Ps3/Vita/Ps4"

Or "Vita/PC/PS4" or "PS4/3ds/3ds NL" for EACH game on the list? Because "that one user" is too lazy to look up whether a game is on another platform?

"Hey this Nier Automata is getting a lot of talk, I wonder what it is about. www.google.com. Nier Automata.. "what is this about it being on steam" done and done?

You are on a video game forum and yet feel the need to have to cater to video gamers because they won't know they can search for something?

Yes.

First of all, it wouldnt be as dramatic as you say.You would have to name 3 or 4 platforms max, and that takes about 5 seconds to write.And depending on the subject, that wouldnt even be necessary.Lets say we are discussing about Nier on PS4, and it is stated that on the OP.You wouldnt need to say anything about the PC version, since the discussion is about the PS4 version.Unless you want to bring something up about something particular to that version.

And its about being correct.Its not only about being correct to keep everyone informed about something(because lets be honest, we are the "privileged" in the sense that we know alot about videogames), but its also about using the right meaning of the word.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
