Some argue that making games exclusive to a single platform is stifling the game industry. Here's a different perspective..
Star Citizen is hosting a massive free-fly event, offering everyone access to its sci-fi universe as well as almost all its ships and vehicles. The free-to-play promotion lasts for 12 days.
Wait !! What ? No news of STAR Citizen surpassing the Billion dollars funding? This feels like the same as the Malboro guys offering free smokes at a kindergarten garden. I pass and wake me up when this is actually released and has a price for purchase, if reviews scores are 10 or above I might buy... I might.
Cloud Imperium has released the Star Citizen Alpha 3.23 Update which adds support for the Vulkan API, as well as NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR.
Wow awesome amazing, gonna go try it right now. I bet the improvements are amazing..... /s
Land on any planet in Star Citizen currently and you’ll be greeted by things like weather patterns, flora, and very possibly a derelict or two. What you won’t find are any animals, however. That’s going to change with alpha 3.23’s release, as CIG has finally put together two animals to populate certain planets. That’s not quite three, but it’s more than one!
Two brand-new animals? Fantastic. This game should be ready by the time the Vault Dwellers come out from their Vaults Two Hundred years after the Apocalypse.
Any minute now...
I really need to know when funding passes XX billion dollars. Please bless us with that update.
Never heard anyone argue that exclusives are the blight of the industry.
exclusive games are not.... exclusive content that really ads nothing at all to the game at all is, in my opinion.
If you are going to do exclusive content, at least make it worth while.
Timed exclusive is even worse though. I really and I mean really don't see the point to that at all. It's only a hook for people who have no patience at all.
exclusive games are the reason I own both systems and it's the best reason to own both systems, but I wish timed exclusive content would just go away.
Exclusives are the main reason why I and many others have preferred Playstation over Xbox.
I think 1st party exclusives are fine as both consoles need their AAA exclusive game but I think that 3rd party exclusives are a blight on the industry.
There is no reason to lock down a game which comes from 3rd parties to one console other than lack of 1st party exclusives. Timed exclusives are just as bad as well as timed or exclusive DLC.
Both console owners do it. I just don't see the point apart from pissing off customers that don't have access to that specific exclusive content.
