| KLAMarine said: I often come across the complaint that many XBox 1 games that would have otherwise been exclusives are also put on PC thus rendering them non-exclusives and I'm wondering why people complain? Does a game being available on more than one platform not make it more readily available to people thus benefiting the consumer? Is the ability to play a game on more than one configuration not a good thing? PS4 and Switch exclusives can only be played on their respective platforms but with XBox1/PC, you have more choice. Online gaming on PC is free last I checked so you don't even need to pay a subscription fee to play these games online. Microsoft undermines their own efforts to charge for online multiplayer by making their otherwise-XBox 1 exclusive games also available on PC. Already got a gaming PC? Great! No need to buy an XBox 1 and we the consumers win but I cannot recall any time wherein Microsoft has received rightful praise for their pro-consumer policy of making their software available on XBox 1 AND PC rather than just locking their software to one box.
What's the deal with people complaining instead of praising? |
I guess the problem is not that Xbox have more options to play their "exclusives", but to have just a few games with those extra options.
So, if we focus in the problem being fewer exclusives, this will end up in less people buying Xbox, and as a result, less companies developing for it, leaving the users who already have an XBOne with an expensive console and few games....
