Why are people always so salty when Microsoft has an exclusive, even if it's timed.

I think people have issues how they word their timed exclusives or how they try to hold off games from other consoles. I think people dont have many issues if you fund the game and get timed exclusivity/full exclusivity a la dead rising 3 and 4. But what they did with Rise of the Tomb Raider then ofcourse you get backlash.

I dont think people are salty Microsoft having exclusives. Microsoft just need to build their own exclusive or fund some second party and not to try pay developers to keep games that are in development or already out away from competitors. In this PUBG case ofcourse the game preview program plays some part why its timed exclusive.

Sony is responsible doing this as well, but I think Microsoft is slightly worse. I hate when companies try to hold off third party games from other platforms.

So yes from what we know so far, Xbox is the only console to be getting the game.

No it hasn’t, it’s just deceptive wording by Microsoft.

It’s a console launch exclusive....meaning it’s timed! No matter what you guys want to state otherwise.

The only thing that is console exclusive is the time of XBox game preview.

How's it deceptive?

The game is coming to Xbox One on the 12th and won't be on any other console so it's a console exclusive. Could it come to PS4? Yeah it can but we don't know if it will.

Well played Microsoft.

I just find it ironic. On one hand, people are saying "Lol Microsoft 0 exclusives" and on the other hand the same people are saying "Not an exclusive, it'll come to [platform] later" or "Not an exclusive it's also on PC". Whatever it is, it's just negative towards Xbox.

I don't see the problem with timed exclusivity at all. If full exclusivity is fine, then timed should be even less of a problem. As a gamer, you can wait off the exclusivity and buy it at the time it reaches your console. As for the term used for it, I don't see how it's any issue? It's not deceptive marketing, it's effective marketing. Why would you portray it as a timed exclusive if you don't have to? Until it drops on the other platform, it's exclusive.

So yes from what we know so far, Xbox is the only console to be getting the game.

Only the beta is exclusive to the xbone aka the preview edition. I should prefer to wait for the final version, than paying M$ money for a beta. Lol

Or you can buy the Game Preview version and play it for months and then not have to pay for the final version. Seems like a win/win.

Huh, didn't notice until you mentioned it.

Of course. It's quite expected and common on an Xbox platform.

As opposed to Switch?

They will need plenty more of this to convince people to shell out for an XBOX One X.

There is just one problem...it ISN’T console exclusive to XBox One!

Breaking news, Errorist76 has just confirmed MS lied.

PUBG will launch on PS4 and Switch the same day as X1.
