I don't think anyone is actually arguing this point, the hand-wringing is about exactly -how bad- it is. One of the major reasons people are paying close attention to the Activision/Blizzard acquisition is because people are wondering if such a public event may lead to the regulatory bodies taking a MUCH closer look at the inner workings of the gaming industry in the aftermath, because quite frankly, a lot of the more abhorrent practices that the tech industry as a whole employs only exists due to sheer ignorance among the regulatory courts. Rumor has it that Sony was supposed to have a State of Play last October showcasing their own exclusives, but canceled it because they didn't want to give Microsoft any ammo for the court proceedings. Even now, it seems that Sony has been much more quiet about exclusives ever since.
Alright. Which ones?
