Genuine question. Why are people calling Microsoft "anti-consumer" for wanting the games of the companies they have bought to be exclusive to their systems?
Isn't this what Sony/Nintendo has been doing for all these years?
Genuine question...

Sony = Good
MS = Bad
This is the narrative that journalists and the MSM will run with

Remember when all consoles have good exclusives and you would miss out on something no matter what you choose?
There are barely any exclusives anymore but for the oldfags this isn't new.
Brody Thompson
It's just a question, jeez

sony r evil in every industry they own, michael jackson was an xbox fan and they killed him
Brayden Edwards
Pure spite
Jeremiah Bennett
>exclusive
Proprietary software is explicitly anti consumer as it hurts the end user experience and only profits the corporation
Is this bait?
Jacob Martinez
So why don't people criticize Nintendo and Sony for exactly the same thing?
Andrew Gomez
People do, literally all the fucking time.
Camden Walker
I don't think so.
I don't see people from PS asking Sony for the new Spider-Man to be on other platforms, the same with nintendo.

Well, that's good, I think the same. But I also think that all companies should be judged the same way.
Matthew Myers
They aren't anti-consumer, it's just the coping of Snoys who are angry that both Xbox and PC will get quality (assuming the studios don't fuck it up.) games that will never come to their system

>all companies should be judged the same way
So much this, the same standards applying to everyone just makes sense. That's why they are called "standards" in the first place.
Jace Hernandez
Yeah, I would really like to be able to buy and play the great Nintendo games of this gen (in my opinion) like BOTW or Mario Odyssey without being forced to buy a overpriced and underpowered console like the N.Switch.

Wait people are calling Microsoft out on this but not Sony? Microsoft is definitely better about releasing their games on multiple platforms than Sony is.

FGO is a game though senpai

They do constantly. Like with Bloodborne on Sony's side and Bayonetta 2 on Nintendo's side.
Blake Miller
Everything would be better without exclusives
Aaron Murphy
>If something that was available for everyone is now only available for a select few why is this considered anti-most people?
Are Xbox droids really this retarded?
Luis Gomez
>available for everyone
Huh, user...

Michael Hughes
paid exclusives has always been an anti-consumer practice
they're investing a lot into it, so that's a lot of anti-consumer acts
Brody Parker
just like sony
Isaiah Thompson
what did they acquire?
Sebastian Smith
Camden Ortiz
I have google too.
Anything in particular that stands out to you, or are you just being petulant?
