Ehhh, exlusive dlc content sounds harmless compared to exclusive games.
Funny how you all go crazy about it even though he simply says that it doesn't feel right to pay a dev to give players on other consoles less content for the same game they pay for.
That is obviously something else as what he does, paying money to get a game earlier or to fund the development of a game which is exclusive then.
And yes, paying a dev to release the same game but with less content is the worst of all practices. Well, together with paying a dev to buy a game away from another system for forever but he doesn't really do that. At least I wouldn't know any game he did that with.

So far everything 3rd party MS has bought this gen has been timed, so eventually people on other platforms get to play it. The same can't be said for Sony. Now it may be a bit hypocritical that MS is buying anything at all and then making a comment like this, but that's the nature of the business, in order to remain competitive they're forced to buy stuff because Sony is buying stuff. I get the impression that Phil would genuinely like to get rid of 3rd party exclusives, and I say that as someone who dislikes Phil. |
Also every third party timed exclusive were deals by Don Mattrick.

If that content was available since launch date I'd agree, but if that aditional content comes out 1 year later that just means sony has better support.

My bad, it must be the Division. I know it's one of the multiplayer games I play.
You should really put the whole twitter exchange up...
What he's overall saying isn't wrong, and people just jumping to conclusions as usual.

Seems to me like he's crying cause MS can't afford to pay for exclusivity deals like Sony can due to it costing far less for Sony because of the much bigger installbase.

Well, I guess he meant paying for it to keep it exclusive forever and not timed since he also has timed deals. Both sucks but with timed deals at least everyone will be able to play it eventually.

The Division was announced at E3 2013 with content first on Xbox. Don Mattrick was the head of Xbox at that time so he made that deal.
