Why timed exclusives are DEAD!!!!!!

So a lot of news of late has surrounded some aspects of games having timed exclusivity, which is a waste of money and time IMHO to any gamer.  A few examples are Destiny a lot of the DLC granted is timed exclusive, as are some guns and maps etc, FOR A YEAR from the games release date. Now does Xbox get a bone thrown here or there yeah they do, but it is not the point. I exclude some games like Bayonetta 2 because without Nintendo that game never gets made. Call Of Duty(COD)  is another example that applies in the following text.

 The Fact as a gamer you pay full price for in the case of Destiny, get a crippled game is unacceptable. Yes I said Crippled, because as a Xbox gamer you are paying the exact same price as the PlayStation gamer but either getting less or having to wait for a year in some cases for the same game. Now most who follow me on Google+ and Twitter know I prefer PlayStation and PC for gaming, PC for Multi-plats and yes I also talk about things other then gaming on Twitter.

 I offer this to the developers and Publishers out there, as a gamer myself your cash grabs are dead. If you think because Microsoft roll up with a truck load of money, and others have to wait we will switch your nuts. Those days if they ever existed are long dead, you really think we will switch consoles or device because you get a toy first on this one. THINK AGAIN, This is not the 80's we as gamers are not stupid, we will wait out your money play and buy the game on our preferred platform.

 So here is some advice Devs. pubs, and console makers. SAVE YOUR $ we are not stupid we will wait you out and your money was spent for NOT. AGAIN Save your money, invest in your internal studios and platforms like PSN and Xbox Live. The days of someone changing their mind because this game is coming out first on X console or platform are over.

  I will leave you with one last point, Do you honestly think a single PC gamer said Screw it, I am getting a Xbox or PlayStation console because GTA V is not out for a year on PC? I need to change platform and buy a Xbox or PlayStation, same goes for Nintendo. NOT going to happen we will wait you out, and believe me I was seriously tempted to buy a Wii U when I saw Bayonetta 2. That is one I just won't get to play in the near future but I can live with that as they did pay to make it.

So in conclusion Pubs/Devs Console makers wake up we are not stupid, we will wait you out as gamers. You need to sell your game more then we need to buy them or your console, We have options out the ying-yang, you have but a single choice to make, make the smart one and don't allow exclusivity in your games.
As a side note do not tell me timed exclusivity sells consoles because that is utter bullshit. First party games sell consoles nothing more, nothing less. You love uncharted your gonna buy a PlayStation device,. You love Halo your going to buy a Xbox, Mario a Nintendo device.

No gamer is switching loyalties because you get a gun for 6 months before me, that crap is dead to most gamers. Adapt Developers/Publisher/Rights owners we have grown up, we are device agnostic and I am 55yrs old, Give us what we want, where we want on the device we want when we want, or we will just wait you out
