Making a Multi-Platform Game Exclusive is Wrong

JoshOnTech: It was recently announced that the next game in the Street Fighter series, Street Fighter V, will be console exclusive to PlayStation 4, with a release on PC coming later. Does this sound familiar? Just four months ago at Gamescom, Microsoft announced that the sequel to 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot, titled Rise of the Tomb Raider, would be exclusive to the Xbox One. Though this was later said to be false, as it was just a timed exclusive, it still sparked an anger in millions of gamers over the fact that if they wanted to play this game, which has been multi-platform for a majority of its life, they would now have to buy an entirely new system if they didn’t want to wait a year to play the game after everyone else. And that anger was justified, and so is the anger over Sony making Street Fighter V an exclusive. (Microsoft, PC, PS4, Sony, Xbox One)
