Agree. Do not like this at all. They really should stay away from the exclusive content...most people dont give a shit. Instead they can take that money and build a new IP or something.

The problem starts when one platform holder decides to do it then the other is forced to follow.

Was also kinda annoying to hear the cheers in the Sony E3 crowd everytime they announced exclusive content for a game.

Two wrongs don't make a right. We could blame MS all day for what they started but in reality what matters is both Sony and MS have these exclusive or time exclusive deals now which are just bad policies that hurt gamers and gaming as a whole.

You're forgetting one thing. With Microsoft it is usually timed exclusive DLC, which isn't a big deal since it's extra content that costs extra money which will eventually come to other platforms, but recently Sony has started the practice of paying for fully exclusive content that is included with the game's price tag (Watch Dogs and ACIV for instance). <-- while irrelevant to the curent topic, Sony once again doesn't have the money to pay for full exclusive DLC, so expect those content to drop on other platforms sometime next year.

But it was OK when it happened for MS? MS started this last gen Sony had no choice but to play MS dirty little games. or give MS all the marketing deals.

And so is the Destiny content which anyone with access to the internet can look up on the Sony store both from their PS console and the Sony Store website and see is timed exclusive.

Also didn't microsoft recently pay for an entire shooter game to not appear on any Sony platforms under the guise of "helping to fund it or else it would not release"? Funny how it started as a timed exclusive after E3 and then jumped to being about to not be released without the help of Micro. It is even rumored to be in development for Macs so they literally paid for it to not be on Sony devices.

Microsoft started this nonsense last gen (and came out moneythrowing this gen) and Sony has the table turned. I hope it all stops but with Micro paying Activision for Call of Duty timed exclusive stuff and Sony throwing money at Activision (who is getting quite the fat wallet) for timed exclusive stuff, looks like this gen will be another pissing match.

We don't know yet if this is another case of that or not, hopefully it's timed content. 

How on earth did you jump to that conclusion from my post? Seriously why do posters do that...the minute you say something negative about one company people automatically assume you are bias.

I've seen this happen now 4 or 5 time tonight alone and I've only be browsing around on the chartz for about an hour. Sigh.
