You could always just buy a PS5 if the wait is a problem

Yeah. I’d fire you. Don’t need stupid people working for me.

I’m good with exclusives. I see them as a vital part of competition between platforms and developers.

So what's the actual argument? 

They have the same number of choices as any other consumer.

But your argument isn’t logical. At all. It’s purely emotionally based.

I’m saying, and have said multiple times, that it doesn’t matter if it would or could have been released on multiple platforms.

You can’t remove something that wasn’t there. That’s not deleterious.

How is it not good competition? The respective companies strengthened their positions in the market or minimized their risk and maximized the use of their resources. That’s the entire point of encouraging competition and it creates a more robust market for the consumer.

They honored the purchase of their customers. That’s fine. They did right by their customers. Those that hadn’t bought it yet weren’t really affected.

That’s the crux of your entire argument. Thinking that platform holders are buying exclusive to screw over consumers.

Oh ok, I guess that explains why the Switch was such a colossal failure for Nintendo.

You agent looking at cause and effect.

I own both.

Software should always be a way to differentiate platforms. Content drives platform sales.

And you are incorrect. Your arguments are completely devoid of actual thought and logic.

You have no logic though. Period. You’re arguing from a purely emotional stance and working backwards to fit it and not supporting with arguments.

Not best for the customer does not mean bad for the customer. Best for the platform doesn’t mean bad for the customer. Companies are only obligated to their own customers.

That’s not logical cause and effect. That’s just whiny entitlement. An option has not been removed, it was never there in the first place. You can color it however you think makes the argument sound better but it’s not reality.

I am going by the actual, legal use of the term. Words have meaning. Anti consumer has a specific meaning. Loss in this case means loss of access you can’t lose access to something you never had access too. Example, if MS suddenly decided to delist and remove all CoD titles from existing PS5 owners. That is loss.
