Is paying for exclusive content a reasonable business practice, and if so, is the problem more about how such announcements are communicated? Read on for our exploration of the topic.

I completely agree it's good business practice to go for exclusivity, a timed exclusive is probably the developers (publisher?) realising the success of a previous title came from multiple platforms.
Agree with everything. apart from the audience are generally idiotic bandwagon loving idiots.

It's not a reasonable business practice. The xbox is the worst performer. Why is Samsung gaining massive ground on Apple? Apple the patent wheeler. A patent is, in it's own right, an exclusive. Samsung phones perform better, but are harder to use/get used to. Apple can sue and sue and sue, yet people are still going for the better alternative. The main issue is phone users are, as a collective, much smarter than console users. There are many levels to this issue, and I'm aiming for the foundation of it all.
This doesn't even affect me cause I think TR is an average game to begin with, but like any boiling frog videogame situation, you need pretty animations and a youtube video from a total random to explain it any further.
Here's the clencher in perspective: If I was able to sell a pair of socks for $50 a pair to a blind, deaf, retard - does that make it a good business practice? If so, is it ethical? Who are you guys representing anyways? Look at the xbox DRM situation. One day into their spiel and they went back on it due to backlash. The community needs to speak up, and as reviewers you should be looking after us by empowering us to speak up, and less about the developers business practices.
To us, as gamers - it's nothing but destructive.
F***, get Zoe Quinn in here for some insight.
