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.

How would you ever know if the DLC would provide a better experience for the game if you have no opportunity to enjoy it.  You can only guess or just say to yourself "I do not care" but whether you cared or not you have no choice but to take it.  You paid your money for the game and the developer locked you out of content.  So for you, since you do not purchase DLC this is no problem but for many that do purchase DLC, this is a huge problem.  As I have stated for me I do not care as well so when i purchased Destiny for the Xbox, I knew those DLC would not be coming to the Xbox anytime soon but I cared little.

As for a game that will not come to your system for a year, well its the business.  You feel cheated as a PS only gamer but then how do you think the Xbox gamers feel.  If MS was the only company doing this you could well ding them for it but since they all do it, its just part of the industry.  I am sure when you play the 3rd party timed or full exclusives on the PS, you do not care at all if those games ever see the light of day on the X1.  If anything you are comfortable that Sony gets those exclusive so you do not have to think about any other system but the PS.

As for MS being desparate, well I guess as with anything people can believe whatever they want but you still have not provided any proof why this is desperate since this is standard MO from MS.  Desparation would be to do something you do not do to change an outcome of an event.  Also you continue to just totally ignore that MS has a publishing agreement with blue.  As I mentioned as a business, why would you let your competitor upstage a move you made for a popular product to come to your system and not make a counter move.  Its like you believe MS and Sony is playing the same game as gamers interest.  Their are moves and counter moves and whether MS was in first or last in installbase they would still make the same moves.
