I have been on several gaming forums for over odd 18-20 years now and what I noticed, on Gaf and also now on Era that there are some people that really do not want others to play an "exclusive" game on another plattform.
Everyone remembers the whole MGS4 debate. Then when FF13 went multiplat, people were pissed. Seriously pissed. It wasnt just the "expert" post.
When NMS pre-PC announcement happened, people tried to fight back, explaining that it will never come to anywhere else.
Somehow Yakuza fans seemed to "fight" to prove its exclusive.
Now on Era whenever there are rumors that a previous exclusive game might come to another plattform, you see posts that read more like they are glad its still exclusive. It was Persona 5, SMT5, stuff like Death Stranding etc.
I am not talking about posts just being ""It has not been announced yet for those plattforms. Let's just wait and see", but posts that read like "lol no. Im glad its not."
Sometimes you even have posts like "exclusives are great, because I bought a xxx and a multi title devalues the game for me."
Why is that? I have/had a Switch, PS3, Xbox 360, PC and why should I care if SMT5 would also come to PS4 or PC or if Octopath isnt exclusive anymore? More people can enjoy the game and if I like that game, that means more people can enjoy something I also liked. If Starcraft 2 gets a console port, why shouldn't I want it?
