[video=youtube;w7XiATCWRTU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7XiATCWRTU[/video] Im getting tired of gamers saying because titanfall is a microsoft exclusive. This video here explains why this isn't true and how even developers don't know what their talking about anymore. If for some reason you think im incorrect, tell me why. I'm very curious to hear what you all have to say.
Mass Effect 2 was exclusive only for a short while. [B]"I believe we'll be Xbox 360 exclusive for at least a short period of time," [/B] [url]http://www.computerandvideogames.com/184788/bioware-mass-effect-2-360-exclusive/[/url]
EA Signed a deal with Microsoft, it is an Xbox One exclusive until some time after launch; if the devs can negotiate. Microsoft is seeing profits from the PC version: Since Titanfall uses Windows Azure for it's hosting platform.

Microsoft profits from this because there are no other platforms to play it on. Want to play it on PC? Use Windows, Linux is not an option. Can't afford a new PC? Buy an Xbox, PS is not an option.

Okay, they still make money off of w7 sales.

Exclusivity, by definition, doesn't have anything to do with who gets money, it's about which platforms get it. And purely by that definition, it's Microsoft exclusive.

Microsoft owns Xbox. Microsoft owns Windows. They get direct profit from selling xbox units, and indirect profit from selling PC units. End of discussion.

Windows is a Microsoft platform, as is the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One, therefore Titanfall is Microsoft exclusive, simple as that. That doesn't change because of your constant 'but they don't get profit from sales on pc so it isn't' bullshit argument.
The main focus of a manufacturer is to push their platform(s) You're making it out to be as if M$ can only make money from individual game sales. edit: Also what Whoopsy said.

But guess what IS a Microsoft platform? Windows. And guess what's the only OS Titanfall supports? Windows. You can't play it on Linux or OS X. So yes, Titanfall is, for now, exclusive to Microsoft platforms.

Even if his opinion held any weight the way he talked was fucking nauseating. Like a pompous asshole smirking to himself like "oh damn, I'm just too smart for these plebs", and the voice he did for the developer was incredibly childish and I could barely understand him.
op is your virginity an exclusive??
Oh wow, nice sonic+pony sfm vids OP Also nice deviantart!
are you really saying a game that's going to be sold _only_ for windows (and xbox one) is not Microsoft exclusive?
[QUOTE=segasage;42720335]Okay no one in their right mind thats a gamer will buy windows 8 for gaming, they would buy windows 7.[/QUOTE] Everything that you post just keeps getting more ridiculous, windows 8 is great for gaming - it's just a speedier windows 7 with native USB 3.0 support and a better task manager among other things. Don't like metro? Don't use it you whiny baby.
stop being a faux intellectual you'll never make friends if you think you're better than everyone

It doesn't matter if microsoft profits off a games windows release or not, it would still be a microsoft exclusive and you're still supporting microsoft by using a windows OS.
Boy I can't wait till a company makes a product that they can in no way profit off of and then make it open source. If it's free people will obviously donate and the super computer world will be freed from the clutches of all evil and corporations. It's business guys, grow up. Half of you are PC gamers anyways. I don't see the big fuss.
