I'm exclusively a PC gamer and I'd even argue that this is false. Exclusives are bad for the industry and bad for gamers in general. It doesn't matter which platform you can afford/desire.
Even PSVR might be coming to PC. Many Xbox games are coming to PC. The industry seems to be turning its back on exclusivity. What does Facebook do? "Naaaa, we can make exclusivity work."
When industry leaders are aborting a strategy, it isn't a good strategy. What Facebook is doing makes sense only 5 years ago.
I'm with you, so let me expand on what I meant: On consoles it's different because some studious exclusively develop for Playstation or Xbox, meaning they don't even have the tech to just compile a PC or Xbox version if they wanted to. Now, this is a the result of being Playstation exclusive for years, but I'm sure they get paid enough to not worry about losing out on the other markets.
I totally agree that for gamers it's a loss. Most skip games on that other platform, but some grudgingly buy an Xbox or Playstation just for one game.
Another very stupid tactic is making PC gamers wait like Rockstar does with GTA. This is especially bad given the history of the GTA games and them being PC first back in the day.
