The context was what you provided. But I stealth edited in a response to this question as I knew it's were you'd take it. But I'll repeat myself basically we know what exclusive means when when it comes to entertainment products, games especially, which doesn't really have all the different regional platforms, a game on multiple platforms isn't exclusive to any one of them, it just isn't on X or Y, especially if those platforms aren't owned by the same corporation. You can widen the definition and say it's Microsoft exclusive, PlayStation exclusive, Nintendo exclusive, but that doesn't mean it's exclusive to any individual platform under them.
Nah. People cannot come up with terms or look at terms in ways that suits their argument.
Call of Duty is a multi-platform game that has exclusive rights (timed or permanent) linked to the PlayStation brand. Timed exclusive content or exclusive DLC is not something that came in this generation, it has existed since the last generation. And you can essentially blame Microsoft for that.
Then you have games that simply show up to some platforms and exclude others, either for some time, or in totality. Games that Microsoft makes available to Game Pass are exclusive to that because that is the tool they would love to distribute their games on. The market has moved, and it is not only Microsoft that is moving in that direction.
Sony has PSN, and that is a service that has come to PC. Sony themselves have stated that they are open to some of their exclusive endeavors coming to PC. It would open up their reach to potential customers, increase the number of platforms that the content is exclusive to, but it wou;d still exclude some platforms.
This is something that has been trending for over a decade in gaming. So it surprises me that we now see people looking to rewrite the English language.....
There was a time when Soul Calibur IV launched: Yoda was an exclusive character to the Xbox 360, Darth Vader was an exclusive character to PS3. The game was multi-platform, but it was further segmented when it came to additional characters. The meaning of exclusive did not change then, I see no reason as to why it should change now.
