10 million dollars. Thats a lot of money. You could buy houses and flash cars with that. Or you could pay for exclusivity for a game that shouldnt have been exclusive in the first place. I talk about it here all the time, about whether or not Xbox Live Gold and Playstation Plus is worth it for the consumers because ultimately you want to be paying for a better experience in the way that you play, not to lock others out of content that has been on both systems for years. Lets talk about why Im not a fan of this strategy.
