Re: So No LE Downloads In GOTY After all

In Response To: Re: So No LE Downloads In GOTY After all (gamerguy2002)

: Why do you? I've seen you ask allot of questions but all I'm getting off you
: is "No! I don't want anyone else to have it because I was there at a
: particular moment in time and you weren't for whatever reason! So HA HA!
: LOOK AT ME AND CRY YOUR MAN TEARS!!"

: Why are you sooo against letting people have a particular item after a good
: amount of time has passed?

For me, it's about clarity up front.

If exclusives are expressly stated as timed-exclusives then I am obviously made aware of that up front. Whereas if something says it's exclusive to a retailer, exclusive to people that make it to an event or exclusive to early-adopters then I expect it to be exclusive to those circumstances as a reward to the participants. It's not a detriment to those that chose not to participate, were unaware or unable to obtain the exclusive, but a reward to those that were.

Same thing with LIMITED (def: restricted in size, amount, or extent; few, small, or short.) content. It's a reward for those who wish to obtain it, not a slap in the face to those who are unable to. If someone were to feel entitled to limited content, that would be pretty silly for them to wish for it if they didn't meet the criteria (early-adopters, additional costs, etc).
