BulletPoints - Child's Play

Welcome back to BulletPoints, a series that discusses the timeless quality forms of entertainment like games, movies, games, TV, games, comics, games, and games. We discuss this entertainment in terms of art, business, and just the entertainment in of itself. As we’ve discussed in issues past, I don’t like it when entertainment is made or designed to be exclusionary. And it pisses me off more so when people ask me a question implying that said form of entertainment is, by default, exclusionary. 

BulletPoints: PC Sanctuary - Exclusionary Gaming Continued

An interesting new debate has sparked that is similar to console wars and rather than wait a week to get a response up and be behind the times, I figured I’d strike now while the iron is hot and weigh in on the issue. Recently, Microsoft has come out and said they want to integrate Xbox (most likely Xbone features) into the PC for their upcoming Windows 10. No details beyond that have been explained, and we’re supposedly getting more details in January. 

BulletPoints - Exclusionary Gaming

Being a Nintendo fan, people are under the assumption that I think exclusive games are all good and that exclusiveness is something all games should aspire to. Then I get labeled hypocritical when something like D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die is an exclusive and that’s the reason it’ll sell like shit. But I suppose it’s time to surprise everyone, I don’t think games exclusive to certain devices or regions or anything is inherently good. I don’t think it’s completely bad either, but now we need to get into the discussion.
