Comment on Xbox Player Voice Quickly Reveals What Players Want Most

I’m still shocked that so many want exclusivity. I’m against excluding players and forcing to use a specific console. In example I am not buying a Switch or Playstation to play games that are available only on that platform, and so many others don’t want to or can’t. I understand why companies want exclusivity, but why the hell does the community and players want it? Exclusivity is anti consumer!
back in the day, it meant that the game would actually be developed and optimized for the platform. Not necessarily just so it would be hard to purchase.
With all the platforms being nearly identical in power, there is no real optimizing to do… unless you are going to somehow get HD rumble or center touchpad as your core gameplay.
Yeah, but anti-consumer is soooo IN right now.

I’m genuienly convinced at this point that you could apply a sociological analysis framework of ‘religion’ to branded platform fanboys and conclude that they are indeed religions.
Rituals? Shibboleths? Group Identity vs Other? Apologia/Theology? Divine symbology? Appeal to transcendental authority?
Yep yep and yep.
