Nope I won't, I never buy DLC and most games sell most and are more relevant on their first couple months... so holding a game for a year is worse than holding a map for life.

I still haven't bought TR, since I had to wait a year for it I can wait more to buy it for 20 or less or not even play it since I have other things to play.

Why would Sony be in talks? Because the game is big enough and Sony hold good relationship with devs, so why wouldn't they talk about bringing it to PS?

The Lesson on TR where they gave a completely obtuse definition of exclusive that needed clarification just after being mentioned (because they tried to make it sound more than it was) and SquareEnix talking about PS4 release before X1 had it release? Seems the same bad management from MS.

And you tegiversated from the point on desperation, both situation exposed are so different that you can't say one can't be desperation without the other also being.

Interesting you should say you never buy DLC because neither do I but if I did want to purchase DLC, I would feel cheated if a developer created content for another platform and locked it away permananty.  I also purchase all the console systems because I love gaming so I never have to wait for a game to appear on another system unless I want to.

I will give you another reason Sony is in talks for PUBG because if they thought the game was so big to get on their system they would have beat MS to the punch.  Sony is in talks because its a win for MS and they would love to market the game coming to their system to take that win away.  

As for TR, MS should always make their deals so that the developer cannot speak about another system until after the exclusive times out.  This is the one of the problems I thought MS should have realize the during that mess.  If you are going to play the game, even if you say the deal is timed, having the developer talk about another platform while you are funding and marketing the game for yours seems like bad business. Why allow free press for your competitor when you are funding the project.

As for desperation, is MS doing anything different then they have in the pass. Would MS make this deal if this was the 360 and they have an opportunity to get a 10mill PC seller onto their platform.  What makes this deal a desperation for MS.  I have not seen any real reason from you why this isn't a deal that doesn't get done like any other deal for a successful product.  It's desperation for MS but for Sony its because they have good relationship with devs.  I am sure you are not seeing the irony in those statements.

I would fell cheated if the dlc was needed to enjoy the game be it available in my console or not. I fell much more cheated if a game that I always got on my console was highjacked for one year.

Nope I don't see irony. MS doing it on x360 wouldn't look desperate. They doing on x1 looks like even more after it was revealed bluepoint is looking to make it on ps4.
