Not changing any topics... you asked who benefited, my answer was platform holders because if it didn't they wouldn't purchase, and you asked who was a platform holder, I'm explaining what is a platform holder.

If you didn't intend as a jab you wouldn't phrase singling out one fanbase defending one situation and attacking the other and them reiterating it. But if you say it isn't ok.

We are deviating away from talking about timed exclusivity to "you're taking jabs at Sony, how dare you".

I asked because of the way you worded platform holder. Here it's worded as console company or "one of the big 3".

No, I've said before that it is bad when all of them do it. Then we ended up circling around to basically singled out one of the big 3 being allowed to do it and "earning" the right to egt away with it, it's definitely not MS and not Nintendo, so the only answer becomes Sony. 

It isn't okay for either of them to make the deals and then defend them on it. Timed exclusivity is vile and bullshit no matter what excuses one pulls out of their backside. 

1) ok let's ignore it

2) Nope, VGC have used platform holder as one of the companies creating the platform for a long time as I can get. But as I said I was explaining what I meant not deviating the subject.

3) You were the only one singling out, I haven't said it was bad if MS done or good if Sony did. All I said was that the examples I checked we had clear evidence of TR losing sales because of it, and that the ones during PS3 era still outsold X360 version but probably also lost sales due to it and that this one probably will sell less than if launched together.

4) We can't rule out all of them as being bad without context, they are all potentially bad, but some where the only option for the game to see the light of the day.
