Nas "andanças" por alguns fóruns encontrei esse comentário. É bem por aí que eu me sinto...

If I could summarize in a word my feelings towards the whole Tomb Raider exclusivity thing, that would probably be HATE. As a gamer, I absolutely hate the cancerous PlayStation community and the biased gaming media, and that's all Sony's fault.
I owned a Sega Saturn back in the 90's, and man, how I loved that console! But Sega was facing at that time a new rival, the brand new PlayStation, made by Japanese giants Sony.
And what did Sony do to quickly gain market shares and sell tons of consoles? They've secured exclusivity over SEVERAL videogames, that's what they did. And their business strategy eventually killed my beloved Sega Saturn, just because Sega fans couldn't play games like Winning Eleven, Metal Gear Solid (Konami), Tekken, Dino Crisis (Namco), Final Fantasy and Chrono Cross (Square), among tons of others, in their favorite gaming console.
Did anybody talk about Sony being anti-consumerist back then? NO. Did any gaming magazine attack Sony's way of doing business? NO. Did anybody claim that Sony's practices could kill the gaming industry or take Sega out of business? NO. Did Sony, after all, do anything wrong acting that way? NO, in the eyes of the gamers, the gaming media and the companies at the time, that was just business.
But what about nowadays?
Can Sony seal agreements with 2nd and 3rd parties to secure exclusivity over new IPs? Of course they can! They can have exclusives like Deep Down (Capcom), for example, that
Xbox One owners may never play in their favorite gaming console! There's nothing wrong with that and exclusives are the videogame business's soul, in the eyes of the gaming websites and PlayStation fans.
Can Microsoft seal agreements with 2nd and 3rd parties to secure exclusivity over new IPs? Hell, NO! As consumers, Sony fans should be able to choose playing games like Ryse (Crytek) in their favorite console! By doing that, Microsoft is being anti-consumerist and ruining the gaming industry - that's why they deserve to be hated with all their money! Let's all make petitions yelling at the developers that, if their games won't go multiplats, we'll boycott their games from now on!
Can Sony seal agreements with 2nd and 3rd parties that secure exclusivity over already famous franchises? Of course they can! Games like Final Fantasy (Square Enix) and Metal Gear Solid (Konami) deserve to remain eternally PlayStation exclusives, because they have a solid fan base and if
Xbox gamers really want to play them, all they need to do is buying a Sony PlayStation, that's a perfectly normal thing in gaming business and they have to deal with it.
Can Microsoft seal agreements with 2nd and 3rd parties that secure exclusivity over already famous franchises? NO, never! That's the most Satanist behavior a publisher could have, and games like Tomb Raider (Square Enix) should be offered to every single gamer in the world, no matter what their gaming platform is! Consumers should be allowed to choose in which console they will play their favorite games, and let's all boycott any developer that make exclusivity agreements (timed ou permanently) with the evil Microsoft!

Na minha opinião, até aí, é a mais pura verdade!
