Pick your poison: Timed DLC vs Timed Exclusivity

[Darwinianevolution]

Neither one is good. If a company really needs a publisher's money to keep the project going, chances are that the same publisher will force them to make the game exclusive. Timed exclusivity just means a check for just holding back a version of the game for quite some time.

But back to the topic, timed DLC is the least bad alternative. At least you can have (ideally) a full game at the same time as everyone else.
