LOL it's weird when someone either doesn't read/listen to their own sources or just plain doesn't understand them. Let me help you, pitzy. Source one says "Playstation doesn't do that thing.. 'console exclusive... launch exclusive'". She doesn't say Sony doesn't do it as much, or anything else like that. She said they don't do it. Fact: Sony has done both this gen. So again, she's either ignorant, or excusing it when Sony does it. That second one happens a lot around here. Source two goes into detail about all of this stuff "Microsoft" has added to the word exclusive to fluff it up. Yet it's all stuff Sony does as well. That's why I don't care much about what those two sources say. Like I said, they're entitled to their opinions, I agreed Microsoft has been "guilty" of it more as of late than Sony, but this is all crap every company does and pretty much always has done. I can't imagine being bothered by it. The only thing mentioned in this thread I have a problem with is the Destiny shit. You can laugh it off as Sony bias, I think that's hilarious. You're talking about two fanbases paying the same amount of money as the third fanbase but being locked out of the content they paid to access, for at least one year. Yeah, that's disgusting, and I'd say that whether it was Sony paying for it or Microsoft. I've skipped every Forza this gen because of sleazy DLC bullshit, it's not like Destiny is alone :) |
I backed off since you called me on my one response, and even apologized. So why are you doing it now?
Anyways, I understand my sources. You’re not reading my responses. Here’s what I said: “I’m not saying—and neither is that article—that Sony has never done it. I actually said exactly that in my prior posts. What everyone is saying is simply that MS is way worse in this regard, esp in the past couple years, than Sony and Nintendo.”
I referenced the ARTICLE and MY FEELING on the matter. I’m fully aware of what Allanah Pearce said. She spoke more in black and white, but she seems to be referencing the current and the past couple of years, and doesn’t say Sony has NEVER done it. But that’s why I mentioned only the ARTICLE in that post, bc it was more thought out. Forget Allanah Pearce’s comment if you want if you think it’s too unfair (tho again, she spends more of her time on an Xbox podcast than the PS one).
So again, the article doesn’t say what you’re claiming. The FIRST thing he says is: “No company has been more guilty, in recent years, of playing fast and loose with the word exclusive than Microsoft.”
Yes, the writer lists some of MS’s exclusive terminology that Sony has also used. BUT HE’S NOT SAYING SONY HAS NEVER DONE IT. They’re saying MS just does it MORE, esp in recent years. You keep repeating that Sony has used confusing exclusive terminology as well, not just MS. But no one is saying Sony hasn’t done it in the past. So why do you keep using that as your primary argument?
And as far as the Destiny thing, the only thing I was laughing at was that, out of everything that writer said, you said the ONLY thing you agreed with was one of his criticisms of Sony. Maybe I’m wrong, but it felt like more bias against Sony/for MS. I’ve never played Destiny, but I can totally see why Xbox fans would be pissed about the Destiny exclusive content. I mean, they announced the deal ahead of time, but that doesn’t change it for people who can’t afford a PS4 or who prefer playing multiplats on XBO for the achievements and such. I was pissed about the Xbox deal for RotTR, bc I only play exclusives on my XBO and prefer multiplats on my PS4. Tho I realized I didn’t have as much of a right to bed pissed at MS as I did Square Enix, bc it was their fans they were neglecting (I mean, if MS had the opportunity to gain an advantage, why wouldn’t they, if SE was on board?)
