This is such a stupid non-issue. It's better to be more transparent and say where these games are going, ESPECIALLY if you have no real formula for what's an exclusive and what isn't. Such a stupid thing to listen to the worst fans about.

I think it's funny when people defend Xbox's choices by saying things like, "They're hemorrhaging money!" right after Asha Sharma said they have a 3% profit margin. Yeah, it's not a lot, especially when compared to others, but profit is profit.

One thing to remember in all of this, the 3,200 people losing their jobs over the next year (and 1,600 today!) is just the start. There will be larger ripple effects of Xbox's decisions that are already affecting third-parties, and we don't yet know how the layoffs that stem from these deals.
