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.

  • I can't really get my head around the fact that Destiny gives PS players extra in-game content. What? To boost console sales? right... I'd actually like to know if people are/were triggered to buy a PS4 just because of the extra content. I think that the so called 'Horsepower' of the console made more of a difference than extra content. I can understand console exclusive games, but console exclusive content is just plain silly to me. But I guess Bungie went with the extra money that Sony gave them, instead of staying neutral to all players of the game. It actually surprised me that Bungie went PS4 way instead of Microsoft, just because of their history of being Microsoft exclusive with the Halo franchise. Good job Bungie. (that's a joke)

      • When it all comes down to it. 60 bucks for a game is a nice dinner date. DLC for 20 or 35 for both is a night out with friends. Consider it as one person getting another bacon strip on their burger, or getting a free beer at the bar. Your happy for a little bit but too worried. Friend that went out with you is still enjoying the same things with ya and is still OK. But again we are getting up in arms over a small monetary investment and want the world. Relax, the Psion fight is annoyingly tedious, (use to play PS3 switched to xb1), and missing a couple exotics isn't going to hurt ya.

        • Hey, guess what. PS4 users also get "No Man's Sky" as a timed exclusive.

            I just wish people wouldn't purchase the game at all, after stuff like this happens. Then change would happen and everyone would see results.

          • So it is wrong for companies to compete for the money?? I'm assuming you are either young, or just don't have enough experience in life to realize how people make money. Every video game system to ever come out had some exclusive feature that made them competitive. Look at cars you see on the road and you can see the same thing. Look at fast food places and you see it too. Not all cars are the same, not all systems are the same, not all burgers are the same.

          • Exclusive cross-platform content on release and on dlc is a direct slap in the consumers face. This is another trend in the current video game industry that is helping lead to a collapse just like in the 80s

            Well this is normal for any console game pretty much. There are a lot of exclusives in several games that favor one or the other. I would gladly trade my destiny exclusives for the XBone exclusives on "the Division". It sucks how the consumers In gaming are the ones who get screwed. But that's marketing and business for you. You can guarantee Sony isn't going to share the wealth nor will Microsoft share the wealth. They would rather duke it out till one comes out on top. Because all they care about in the end is money. These problems will NEVER change. Because people are greedy. Then there are ego's. A hundred+ reasons why this will not be fixed. Even if it IS for the better.

            • You do realize that Activision and Sony announced all the exclusive content back at E3. None of this info is new. Sony paid Activision to have Bungie create additional content for their system. That's typically how exclusive content works. So you're not missing anything you wouldn't have gotten had they not made that deal. And you'll get the content in fall 2015.

              • You win some, you lose some. Get over it. They said prior to release the best experience would be on PS, what did you think that meant.
