WTF Exclusive DLC now?

As frustrating as it is for xbox users not having any exclusive content found on Playstation (extra pvp map, extra strike, extra exotics) and also all the PS4 events like the the ninja bounty, it must be really frustrating for all the creative people at Bungie to have the execs get in the way of their creation. Now it was announced today that Playstation will be getting another exclusive strike with the new dlc (and I can only assume same will go with the House of Wolves dlc) increasing the number of strikes to 9. This sucks because xbox owners who have spent the same amount of money on destiny and the season pass only get 7 and strikes are a key point in the replayability of Destiny. Bungie messed up because of the deal with Playstation they are hurting their customers on xbox which will result in player drop off and thus not being able to sustain the number of players desired for their 10 year plan. I really like this game and I am an xbox one owner who is starting to feel the fatigue. With all the great options for games, I doubt i will be able to make it 1 full year to get the content that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place. PS4 exclusives only benefit Playstation (not Playstation owners) because its designed to get people who either don't have a system and are using this game as a justification to purchase a console or the people who have both to buy it for their system. Gamers lose because of all these deals (Xbox lost on Destiny but PS lost on Tomb Raider worse imo), Programmers/Artist/Writer lose because the things they worked hard on are purposely not distributed to everyone. Sony and Microsoft win because people are forced to choose. I wish the console wars were more about developing new exclusive ips (Gears, Last of Us) and not cutting content (Tiger Woods releasing 19 dlc courses for $50 same day the game came out) or timed releases (cod). As a side note, retailer exclusives need to stop too. I hope bungie is addressing this issue and coming up with ways to rectify the exclusivity mistake. A few suggestions I have are: - xbox events (along with ps events) - additional free weapons/ armor (diluting the benefits ps owners get) - additional free add on strikes or variants (different enemy placement would do wonders) - modified strike playlist (playlist should have special currency and maybe less weapon xp) ---- example: only green/purple ammo drops from enemies (rocket strike would be so fun) ---- example: weapon type buffs (scout riffle would be OP for the strike) - more venders that accept vanguard marks (maybe some that accept a third currency that you get from my modified strike playlist suggestion) - confirmation that after the contract is over ps and xbox will have the same content Please feel free to add on to my list and hopefully bungie will fix this so that we don't see this as common business practices in the future.

  • Your lucky Xbox users even get to play Destiny the original plan was PS4 only for the whole game. Xbox users are pricks. How do you think Playstation users felt about not having the Halo series.

    • Look at it this way; when the year is up we get new strikes that PS gamers are already tired of. To us it will be like a new expansion coming out, then they have nothing new.

    • It's sad that a company we all love makes a game we all love playing yet half of the players (or less cuz I don't know how many Xbox users there are) feel rooked by the year exclusive deal. I don't think it's good business to make any of your customers feel like they got an inferior product compared to another group of your customers. No company should do this cuz that half or third or 10 percent won't buy your next game. There are tons of great game out there. Also playstation people who think they won something cuz of this... You guys are idiots. If activision made this deal they own lots of other games you love to play and Microsoft has deep pockets and have been buying timed exclusives for years so now you just made it ok to make it a year instead of a month... Even though it shouldn't exist at all.

      • It really is bs that we have to wait a whole year to get all this extra content that they get on the Playstation. Also what happens when xbox users finally do get this content. Do we get it for free or will they put it all in a dlc pack and charge us?

      • I keep seeing posts like this. It's beginning to sound like Xbox owners didn't pay attention in the months and months before release to how Destiny was advertised. They've been said playstation would be getting exclusive content. Microsoft wasn't even allowed to advertise Destiny as theirs compared to Sony, since Sony bought those rights. Microsoft screwed xbox over when they tried to cut Bungie off. Thus, halo now belongs to Microsoft, while Activision "saves" Bungie. Now, Xbox players have to "suffer", but they should have known from the billions of ads that Destiny would have PlayStation exclusives.

      • Jesus , the tiger woods 19dlc courses was just a mini game where you bang 19 whooo0res. No one cared about the Tomb Raider thing, certainly no one wrote a -blam!-in diatribe like you did just now about 1 strike. Playstation exclusives clearly benefit playstation owners as well as playstation. I saw 1 person buy the white ps4 with destiny and I am pretty sure they werent choosing between that or xbox because of the exclusives, more than likely they previously had a playstation, or loved the white design or some other reason. Xbox has been the king of exclusive content for years on games that Playstation users have access to later or at the same time. This thread gave me cancer

      • The information was available before the game launched. As you weren't paying attention you better brace yourself - dlc 2 will have exclusive content too. Yeah it sucks but you bought the game knowing there was exclusive stuff.

        • As an XB guy, it's not that big of a deal. It's all timed. Sucks at first, but in the grand scheme of things, WDFD. We're still getting it eventually.

            • Has nobody ever thought that maybe Microsoft realised this game was going to be a huge disappointment and so did not buy the exclusive rights to early access as they realised they wouldn't make much money on it. Microsoft knew this game was not going to be as successful as everybody thought and therefore knew the DLCs would not go down well.

            • Creating additional content costs money. I don't think Sony paid Activision to withhold content for Xbox users. I think they paid them to create extra content for their system. If Sony didn't buy extra content for their system then we probably wouldn't have gotten an extra strike or PVP map or extra weapons. Having to wait 12 months for content that otherwise wouldn't exist isn't a bad thing. Activision and Sony were upfront about exclusive rights to DLC. If it really bothers you to wait you purchased the wrong system. If you think it's unfair than vote with your wallet and don't purchase the DLC.

            • Isn't this a problem with the industry and consumer attitudes/preference? People are willing to pay...much likes companies are willing to pay for exclusives.

                • It's microsoft's fault that bungie is doing psn exclusives. If you actually do your research xbox has been doing contract exclusive dlc for call of duty and other titles for years, and it's the same contract for destiny. Our psn "exclusives" become available to Xbox players next year. Do your research.

                    • Activison own the rights to the DLC. Not Bungie. Give Bungie a break. Also, how about Activision give you guys the extra strikes, but only if they stop giving Xbox the COD DLC early? No? Didnt think so
