Influencers are just fleshy advertising boards.
Let's not worry about them throwing their toys out of the pram.

Since when has exclusivity been a boon for gamers?
That seems pretty dumb to me. Why be pro exclusivity? Yeah it might not give Xbox a big advantage but it means more competition.
I feel like a lot of this is becoming more and more irrelevant considering PC handhelds are gaining popularity. We are frequently seeing once console exclusive games like Days Gone or The Last of Us becoming available on PC.
The fear for a lot of people is that if Xbox games aren’t exclusive people will buy a Playstation instead. Which makes sense, why by the console than can play most games when you could get the console that can play all games. This puts the Xbox hardware platform in a very difficult place. Especially because it’s already way behind in market share.
I feel like the little things add up. I mean I bought my PS4 because it had a decent modding scene, the UI looks nice, I like PlayStation's trophy system, and the controller more than the Xbox One.
I only really consider exclusives when they are locked down to weird peripherals. The Wii controller or the Vita's front and rear touch screen for example.
It is neat when I can play an exclusive but it's definitely more of an after thought and usually the console is a generation behind.
God this is all so silly. Imagine getting mad that more people can enjoy the games you like
Influencer means bad person
So are you surprised that xbox bad person would be mad at that?
First world problems 🤷♂️
You know how cool it is that we can play games with friends that don’t have the same console? That may now happen with Microsoft games too. 🫤
The name "Klobrille" being german for "toilet seat" doesn't help with taking the opinion of an "Xbox-Influencer" seriously.
