It's not like Playstation fans were outraged because Halo or Gears were exclusive, they expect that. Tomb Raider was unexpected and Microsoft didn't help by being purposefully vague. I think it's completely understandable. I was certainly pissed. Crystal Dynamics, "just play Osiris and the definitive edition. We care about you." was the biggest freaking middle finger to a fan base I've ever seen.
This industry in general (all publishers) would greatly benefit us gamers if they would stop trying to fool us with every fake gameplay video or misrepresented exclusive they purvey. It's getting pretty bad when the first thing you assume is the negative outcome and that becomes the realistic and probable outcome in situations like this.
