Final Straw: the End of Third-Party Exclusives

"I wasn't upset when I read that Final Fantasy 13 had become a multiplatform game. Granted it was one of the reasons I bought a PS3 over an Xbox 360, but really it didn't make me all that mad. As far as I'm concerned anger over video games is a staple for children and fanboys and I'm neither. If someone were to offer me an Xbox 360 tomorrow, free of charge, I'd take it and enjoy it without feeling any of the silly guilt so many people feel for "betraying" a company. After all, it is just a company. Whatever drive Sony, or Microsoft or Nintendo might feel to make me happy is firmly grounded in their desire to convince me it's a good idea to buy their merchandise. I'm smart enough to know that if they weren't in the business of making money they wouldn't care about me in the slightest, so when one of the big three does something, I tend not get angry at them."
