Would be more, if it wasn’t an exclusive.

EDIT: To clarify, all of the console exclusivity is absolute bullshit and does nothing positive for those who enjoy games, nor does it serve any necessary purpose - it’s just a weapon for businesses to use against each other.

Add Final Fantasy. Would also have more if they weren’t exclusive.

Definitely, though it can be said for every exclusive game.

Agreed. Exclusives are complete bullshit, regardless of vendor.

It’s not an exclusive, it’s just not on Playstation or Switch. When did people decide PC releases didn’t count?

Generally, “exclusive” in this context is referring to exclusivity on a console involved in the (IMO completely unnecessary) console wars.

I do agree that PC is an important item there too but, the problems there are a bit different - for example shoddy ports (no justification for porting from x86/amd64 consoles to PC to be bad), excessive and intrusive DRM, and unreasonable delay or unwillingness to port.

Windows is made by Microsoft. Would you feel better if people called Starfield a “Microsoft exclusive”?

Linux runs Starfield with no problems. If it’s on a computer and doesn’t use restrictive DRM to control how and under which circumstances you run the software, it’s not an exclusive. Microsoft doesn’t have exclusives anymore, which is a giant pro-consumer move that doesn’t get enough applause in the gaming community. That doesn’t mean they need to develop stuff for one specific DRM box owned by their biggest competitor to be “anti-exclusive”.
