Do you like Exclusive Content for games?
Exclusive content is something that has become a bit of a trend this generation. Sometimes it certain console that have extra content added, other times it certain retails offering extra or special content.
But is this something you think is a good idea?

I can understand why they do as well.
But for me if I get extra content I am normally left disappointed at how average it is and if I don't get any extra content I am left disappointed because I feel I am missing out on something (Even though in the back of my mind I know there is a good change it will be average anyway).
Basically extra content usually leaves me disappointed.
The only time I actually enjoy bonus content is when I buy a used game and find a code that works and feel like I have got something I shouldn't have got.
I hate the "oh well my console gives you this if you get it on that" crap that comes with it, because ultimately it hurts the people that can't afford / don't have enough time for two or more consoles.
But I suppose we've all survived somehow this long and none of us have lost a limb out of not getting one or other of exclusive content.:D
I prefer the "old days" when you bought a game and that was it!
When buying single player games, I get the format which has the better controls / performance. For multi-player games I get the version which my friends are most likely to have.
If a format holder wants me to buy their version, they should make sure their controller is up to scratch and their hardware / dev kits are as good as they can be. We shouldn't need to be swayed by back-room deals.
I don't like exclusive content. If there is extra content, it should be added into the base game for all.
It is often crap. It means they spend copious amounts of money on it, raising costs that ultimately has to be passed on to us. It means you are 'forced' to only play it on one device, or purchase from one retailer.
Bad, bad, bad.
I think mobile gaming played a very big part in how much "extra" stuff you can buy.
I know it happened in the old days, but it seemed like it was something worth going for then.
Nowadays, for example, you get crappy stuff like making your gun glow in COD. Like seriously?? And PEOPLE BUY IT! Which means they know they can release crap and still have people part with hard earned cash.
I know most of what I talked about there was DLC rather than exclusive content, but they're nearly one in the same!
If i find a game that happens to not be available for the PC then i just ignore and forget the game.
I get your point but the DLC stuff that usually gets added should have been there in the first place. Why she should people need to pay more for something we should already have ?
Game companies have been abusing the DLC system since it started, it should be ditched in my opinion.
