A little over dramatic maybe? I usually only see this kind of thing on Twitter.
Good on you for voting with your wallet but whether you buy it or not, no one really cares. We all vote with our wallets and buy what we want but creating a thread like this just seems whiny. Especially when you already said this in the article on the site.

This feels like despite being directed at me, it's actually being addressed to the OP, and is along the same lines as the original post led to the in thread warning.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that your intention was to clarify your earlier post to me, and not to indirectly attack the OP. In the future, if you want to comment on an in thread warning, including this post, please do so by PMing the mod. This way, there will be no confusion. Doing otherwise may lead to further moderator action.

I fully agree with your first paragraph. Increasing the value of your device by creating an artificial restriction (and exactly that is exclusivity) isn't actually making your device better. And I think releasing the games three years later for other platforms isn't ripping customers of the console off. All three platforms now practice that, with Ori, Horizon Zero Dawn, Octopath Traveler and more. That is fine.

I disagree on the second. A proper portable console is much better equipped for portable gaming than a laptop. A phone is better equipped for portable gaming. So no, a Laptop isn't really a replacement for 3DS/Vita/Switch, maybe a band-aid for a missing portable console.

I would much prefer that to what they are doing now. If they did day and date releases to PC, I'd be happy as a clam! If I were to buy a PS5 for exclusives, and then find out those are all coming to PC down the road, I'd be pissed for wasting $500 on an unneeded console. If Sony were to only release a handful of exclusives to PC, I'd be pissed for waiting and not buying a PS5.

I'd rather they either pick a solid stance. Either keep your exclusives exclusive, or just publish to PC day and date, with the same price. Both are acceptable to me.

I'm currently betting on them treating all of their exclusives the same way they treated HZD. A three year wait, followed by full price for a shoddy port. Hence, why I'm simply going to wait until they come to PC, and then wait further until they are priced fairly.

People are treating this thread as if I'm angry that Sony is bringing their games to PC. I'm angry, because they are offering two equally terrible options for playing their games next gen.

Why should I as a customer care for the long-term profit of the companies. Fact is: exclusivity isn't in the customers interest. I will buy the exclusive games if I want to play them, but I am actually happy for each game that is available on more platforms, accessible to more gamers.

ah yes, it was 100% to you, explaining my stance. I didn't really feel it'd be conducive to anyone to directly engage with OP (hence why I accept that I Really have nothing of value to say in this thread.) I only posted here in the thread instead of via PM so it was known what my intentions were. 

PEace out! 

Because without long term financial health a company either goes under or winds up charging more for it's goods and services.

Remember, Switch already has exclusive content out this year with Animal Crossin, Clubhouse Games and Origami King.

I agree with you premise that Switch *would* sell without exclusive content, but it actually does have this content too.

There is also a proper balance. And as a customer I don't see the need to take the stance of the company against my interests without good reason.

The only Sony game on Pc at the moment is HZD and they are “exploring” not confirming their games could go to PC.

But yeah let’s Over react!
