Exclusivity Crap

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 5:15 am

Below is my quoted text I posted in the Skryim Gen. Dis. forum in response to GStaff's thread about the newly released Dawnguard trailer:

I wish I could get as excited as these other players, but the sad fact is I can't. Not when Bethesda cheats PS3 and PC players by taking Microsoft's dirty bribe money to keep it "exclusive" for thirty days. It's a real slap in the face to all those gamers who don't have an Xbox because it's a [censored] system designed by an equally [censored] company.

It's really a shame that Bethesda can't rise above petty corporate greed and say no, this is our game and we want to treat all players equally by giving them new material at the same time. Thanks for being part of the problem instead of the solution, Beth.

I'm really tired of this crap and Bethesda's role in it. It's bad enough the PS3 version only just became playable for a lot of PS3 owners, what, six or seven months after it released (and even still there are lingering complaints)? But then to further rub salt in the wounds we now have to wait another month for each of the DLC. Does that seem right, Bethesda? Truly? You release a broken game and then you deny people DLC for thirty days like we committed some crime and have to be punished and taught a lesson?

I'm very disappointed in Bethesda for what amounts to taking thirty pieces of silver from Microsoft and betraying other gamers who don't play on a 360 nor do they want to. And you all should be too.

Just to point out, it was known even before the games release the MS had paid for a 30day exclusivity on the first two DLC.

And how many times has Sony paid for exclusives?

We knew this since E3 of last year, but personally it doesnt bother me at all as a PC player...

I know it was known. I'm not saying all this because I just found out.

That's my POINT.

And also, don't misinterpret my message: Time exclusivity material for any console is WRONG.

Please don't double post, if you posted that in the Skyrim General.
