But the real question is... (Destiny)

The exclusives are what they are. If Deej told me I could have gotten in on the pre-alpha if I bought a PS4, I'd have passed. I made my choice, I'm happy with it, but I'm hoping Bungie treats their entire community like one community.

I see a difference between community stuff and marketing/publishing stuff.

This. I made this point in another post, but I do not understand why Bungie chose to affiliate with one console over another. For example, Bioware has no such bias in their handling of Dragon Age Inquisition.

Why? I can think of 2 reasons:

Stick it to Microsoft
Money

There may be others, of course. Now, it is their right to do whatever they want with their IP, but the preference potentially creates an arbitrary division between 'haves' and 'have-nots'.
