InaneKorruption: but Sony gets a free pass for doing nearly the same thing by most of the gaming community.
Starting something and retaliation with it are sorta different, but not by much. I know Rich at ReviewTechUSA talked about this, and said he's tired of seeing
Half Assed Exclusives. Exclusives that are timed or only exclude one rival platform seems stupid... Alright two if you include excluding the Wii-U (
but i don't think they would have been considered in the first place). I can't say i approve of what Sony is doing, but there's still residual anger from what M$ tried to do with the always-online
DRM, which is going to carry on with M$ until the next console generation in about 2-3 years.
I just hope everything gets sorted out soon, i'm disappointed in the 8th gen and i don't even have one of those systems, but seeing and hearing the debates and the resolutions and the attempted
HD target, and the lack of power... Is underwhelming. If it was good enough i should feel blown away, but so far i'm far happier with my first time Gaming rig than i would be with having 3 consoles...
I can't say Sony has a free pass, but i can't recall them doing this regularly, so as a collective whole we'd give them the figurative slap on the wrist and say '
don't do it again' type of thing. If they do it multiple times, expect a s**t storm... or fanboys... one or the other.
