Yup, they somehow manage to make an exclusivity deal that fucks over every single person who buys the game.

Someone said they apparently have their "declaration of independence" or whatever form it was when they left MS framed and on display at their offices.
...Seems a bit much to me.
That seems ironic regarding the publisher they have now haha.

A month of exclusivity is one thing, two years of a game that notoriously lacks content is a whole other thing.
They really should have just made it accessible but went "but wait! Exclusive RoI content!" For that extra year.
But that's beside the bigger point of exclusive content is really lame period, and this is only marginally better than "forever" albeit possibly more insulting.

Xbox? How they get lumped in with this?
They were not even allowed to promote having the game on the platform.
I mean if you started gaming with the PS3, sure MS started it.

Great point and great advice....you're right and that's more than likely exactly what I'll do.
_/¯Also considering the contract they made 😂
So you're gonna give up an uncapped framerate and 4K support because of a little extra content? The PC version is by far the best version after playing it at 60fps at E3.
Not to mention better FOV (thank god).
They can keep their dumb ass strike and as much as I hate it the pc features outweigh the bullshit content because in the end as I can play it for a prolonged time without needing eye surgery (exaggerating of course, a bit).

He means Sony was doing it before console gen 7.

I wouldn't exactly say unnecessary, this practice does a really good job of associating a platform with a franchise, like COD & GTA last gen.

If it was skins I wouldn't care. It's actual strikes and guns that bother me.

So the Xbox one version of destiny 2 will cost less than the ps4 version right?
Like, when I buy a can of coke I don't pay as much as a buddy of coke which has more in it.

Figures this thread would devolve in to console warrior fuckwittery.
How long has it been since a thread related to Bungie was actually positive?

Destiny has essentially taken the place of COD, it's a lightning rod. It will never be liked here, but it will always be insanely popular.
I don't really remember that.
A game with an OT which is on its 44th iteration isn't liked here. Riiiiight.

Except that isn't true at all. It completely depends on where you and your friend buy those cokes.
I get what you're trying to say and everything, but this was a bad analogy lol
Are you serious? You think there's any reason for this particular topic to result in happy, positive discussion? Really?
Also, have a look to see why it took until Tomb Raider IV before the series appeared on any non-PlayStation console after the original.

I get that defending Sony is your thing, but comparing 30 days to 1-2 years is uh....something.
Mind you, Sony was doing this before MS anyway.
But I think Nintendo might have actually started it.

I believe the original quote chain was talking about timed DLC.Are you serious? You think there's any reason for this particular topic to result in happy, positive discussion? Really?

Isn't keeping games off platforms, you know...worse?
But I think Nintendo may have started that with Street Fighter 2 on Megadrive but I could be wrong.

Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. This practice needs to be stopped asap.

Oh! You checked my past. Nice.
It sucks, they have all done it. The time gap is super annoying compared to 30 days and it hurts me too. I hate it too and never made me want to purchase a different console for some extra skins or DLC. Similar to how Amazon or Gamestop may offer different colored pants for Assassins, it won't make me preorder at either place when I know I will buy at BB.
I guess my point is that no one is making anyone sign the deal. All these companies agree to terms and I am sure MS would sign a similar deal if they could despite what they say. But I don't like it at all. I blame Bungie most of all because it's their game and they continue to make horrible, weird or baffling decisions.
Besides, I owned the Xbox because I wanted to play Shenmue. That led me to Splinter Cell, Halo, Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon and all the other Xbox exclusives I couldn't play on my PS2. I don't need to defend my honor but it appears I have.
Cheers.
Never? It will never happen here.

I have an unopened "The Collection" Edition for Xbone I picked up for like $20 a few months ago. Still in cellophane. Any reason to still play this game? I've debated just re-selling it at this point.
This kinda BS from ActiBungie makes me feel dirty, like I need to take a shower. Kinda nudges me to not even bother w/ this game. Dunno.
Definitely won't be picking up D2 anytime soon, if ever.

This is a year. A full year. Which eventually turned into 2 because...reasons.
This most definitely justifies a fuck you to all 3 companies involved.
Sony and Activision for brokering a deal that locks away content for a full year and then Bungie for being too fucking CBF to actually come through not eh deal that was done.
Nobody has ever been (or ever will be) of Nintendo's NES era level of bullshit. Sega basically had to port other developers games to Master System themselves because Nintendo restricted developers from doing so if they wanted to publish on NES.
The only distinction is because DLC itself only came into being for gen 7. so couldn't have been part of deals before then.

I definitely won't be buying destiny 2. I'm really getting tired of this anti consumer timed exclusivity DLC bullshit. I understand entire games being exclusive because that's the main difference between consoles, but for games on multiple platforms it's just a slap in the face to all consumers that aren't on the preferred platform.

They're both not great? But if we're talking about who started the practice of timed DLC and how it progressed over a generation, I don't really get why that was brought up.
