      I think entire games being exclusive and later releasing elsewhere is. And it’s been a while so my memory may be off, but I think Microsoft started the game is better on our console type exclusives. The only example I can think of currently is destiny, because I played the shit out of it (and it was Sony exclusive) with stuff like hawkmoon only being on Playstation. But I think Microsoft started it with maybe CoD.

          I’m talking actual content. I mean mortal kombat was better on Sega because blood. But you still got the entire game on Nintendo.

          Stuff like:

          In 2010, Microsoft and Activision signed a multi-year agreement to bring Call of Duty game add-ons and map packs first to Xbox Live.

          That’s actual content that should be on all versions of the game, that Microsoft paid to keep gamers on other platforms from getting. I think that’s a much shittier version of exclusivity than what came before. And they did that because it’s cheaper than actually making good games.
