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.

  • You know doesn't mean you guys should pay less because you get one less strike and few less weapons. They probably had it planned that it only came with one strike and the exclusive stuff was just bonus content for the same price.

  • As much as I hate exclusives it really is your fault for getting the inferior console. You knew what you were getting in to before the Xbox One even came out. So I don't feel sorry for you at all lol.

        This was know since before the game launched, at least to PS4 players who read the blog and also listen to the Blogcast...

      • Bye Bye Bungie! I once had the title of Exalted Mythic member. Gone. Now charging the same amount for less content? Now I am gone. This game has sooooooo many problems it makes me happy in knowing that 343i picked up the mantle and I can play again in a couple of weeks. New or not balanced PvP is welcome.

        • So many games are exclusive to Xbox only. Destiny was originally going to be ONLY on Playstation, so be glad you can even play it on your overpriced console. You don't see people complaining that we don't have access to the halo series on ps4, do you? Quit your crying. My god, did your mom buy you a Xbox because you wouldn't shut up? Bungie isn't your mom, so give it up.

          • I'm an Xbox One owner and I couldn't care less about the PS exclusive content. It's so minor as to be of no real concern. Xbox gets exclusive or early access content for games all the time, so I'm not bitter in the slightest when it goes the other way.

          • To be honest, im kinda stuck in the middle for this one. Im an XBox 360 user, but to be honest, I think its good for PSN users to finally get something that XBox LIVE doesn't have, as a role reversal that's been going on for many years. I have to say though, I am slightly dissapointed at the fact that the XBox users don't get the content at all, as apposed to getting it after the PSN users are bored of it, cos really, PSN has got most of the stuff XBox got earlier than them, (Aside from the whole Halo series) they just had to wait a bit longer. So I do think its kinda harsh XBox don't get it at all, but then again, I recognise that it's PSN's time for 'revenge' that they've been deserving for a while, in the form that XBox doesn't get their exclusive content at all.

          • .... this isn't new information people. If you were going to whine about it you should have started before now. Seriously are you telling me the way this game was advertised over the entire freakin' internet with "PS4" plastered all over it, and with their very pointed message "buy Destiny on PS4 for the ultimate experience", that you didn't think twice about that? Not to mention Deej specifically has told us in multiple interviews that Playstation players will be getting exclusive content.

          • Lol wow. I get that it takes a long time for you to get the dlc but you are an idiot if you think they will do anything to make you feel better. Cod had timed dlc but did people run in the streets angry? No. They were a little mad though.

            • There was an Xbox event. The second ninja bounty was on Xbox One. Also, all exclusives are released on Xbox in Fall 2015. Please, stop the whining.

              • It is a bit of a disappointment that PS get early exclusives, but they had to pay for them or else nobody would have anything good to say about Destiny over there. I'm fine without an extra exotic hand cannon and a auto rifle that is basically the Atheon's Epilogue without the damage effect. And I've heard that the strike is crap, so there's that.

                • As a playstation user, I gotta say, this is some bullshit. Console exclusivity is the worst. We are all gamers that like good games. Who cares what console you are on
