Well, having not purchased something in 10 years would lead a smart consumer to research MORE thoroughly, not less thoroughly. And exclusives like that have been around for 14 years that I know of, probably longer. Also, if you have a Ph.D. you should be smart enough to understand that you having not researched what you were buying and having not seen all the crystal clear advertising does not mean they have screwed you over. The commercials for Destiny that I saw on cable, Hulu, and the trailers online were pushing for the sale of the PS4 Destiny Edition console because of the PS exclusives. You really have nobody to blame but yourself.
