Consumers are bothered by games that get released much later (or not at all) on iOS instead of Android, or the other way around. They're not directly bothered by the cause, but they sure as hell hate the symptoms.
- criddell 10y agoI don't like it, but I think consumers are pretty accepting of platform exclusives.
- MBCook 10y agoIf you're a gamer, then you're quite used to this going back all the way to the old Sega vs Nintendo days. It may be annoying but it's something we by and large accept.
- shmerl 10y agoCommon usage of crooked practices doesn't mean anyone likes them. Let alone encourage any of such trash.
- MBCook 10y agoI didn't say people liked it, I said they were used to it. It's the status-quo so it doesn't get questioned the way it would if it was a completely new concept.
- shmerl 10y agoYes, I agree that it's not questioned enough, which is a problem in itself.
- MBCook 10y agoWhen the hardware was so specialized it made a lot more sense. Now that everyone has nearly identical hardware it's even stupider. On the plus side platform exclusives almost totally gone outside of the game is manufactured by the console makers themselves.
- shmerl 10y agoNot really. Gamers don't like exclusives, when they are excluded especially. Why would they like to be excluded?
