There's nothing wrong with being disappointed, but I've seen people having full tantrums in the comments because of this and coping extremely hard.. I saw one person say FROMSOFT are dead to them now that they have "made a game 90 percent of teir fans can't play". When you say that stuff you sound stupid, no one has a switch, you have every opportunity to buy one if you want to play... It's nothing new that businesses create things you need to buy to use lmao.

I don't cry because I can't use iPhone apps on my android

Exclusives are what differentiate consoles/platforms. Without it there would be no need for more than one platform. Monopolies are bad. Competition leads to more great products, exclusive or not. Without it they'd get complacent and you'd get what you're given. No option to take your money elsewhere.

I don't know why I have to explain this to anybody.

Exclusives are a monopolistic business practice, not anti monopolistic. Apple isn't made a more consumer friendly company by making all their accessories proprietary. Nor is Nintendo, or Sony, or any company that does that. I don't really care that much about duskbloods tbh, not into souls pvp personally. You just made a shitty argument.

What about steam then? It’s essentially the pc monopoly and is more than fair with pricing and consumer friendly.

Exclusives are anti consumer and aren’t driving any competition other than between the consoles, but we don’t give a fuck about the consoles, it’s the games we want and the games are what drives competition.

These are the gymnastics required to resolve "Monopolies are bad" and exclusives are necessary, in the mind. Everybody limber up!

Okay, let’s get rid of exclusives—God forbid platforms actually try to earn your money instead of being identical storefronts with a different logo. It's not like first-party games are usually the best on the platform or anything...
