There is nothing to justify. The terms of the deal stipulate that Sony gets to co-brand their product with Destiny, and have exclusive rights to certain pieces of content in exchange for marketing services and cash exchange. If Microsoft had the same deal in place whereby certain pieces of DLC were exclusive to their platform would you be up in arms on behalf of Playstation owners? No. And I would be posting the same thing to the Playstation gamer who would undoubtedly be making a similar post to yours. Your job as a consumer is to be an educated one so that you make informed purchasing decisions. Don't throw cash at something and complain later because you didn't read the fine print.

  • Actually I would be saying the same thing. You release a full product to everyone who pays. You want to make deals with Sony make the game exclusive. Let me explain it as a physician (which I am). you come in with Insurance from kaiser with a shoulder issue and I give you steroid injections and cold therapy, as well as manipulation. Your neighbor with the exact injury comes in and all I give them are steroid injections (the most beneficial of all the therapies listed). Both insurances companies pay me, the provider the same amount, but I gave you better service/more interventions based purely on the fact that I have a deal with kaiser. I'd get sued. I'd lose me license. Kaiser would get sued. So why if I am paying the same amount of money for the same product should I get less? Either make it exclusive to one console or the other make it equitable. Marketing more strongly for 1 vs the other is one thing... But robbing Peter to pay Paul is ridiculous.... Regardless of which console is doing it.

  • Thanks for comparing computer software to that of physician care.
