A Nintendo Switch game will be losing its exclusivity, and is headed to PC, as shown by the existence of a newly-created Steam Store page. XSEED will be publishing 2019's Daemon X Machina on the PC platform, in less than two weeks. From the producer of the Armored Core series, Daemon X Machina sees you piloting a giant mech, fighting against other machines and upgrading your own tech from the mechanical remains of your foes. The PC port will feature achievements, Steam trading cards, online co-op and PVP, and will release for $59.99 on February 13th, with a temporary launch week discount of 20%.

I liked the color scheme and the art style of the game. That's about it, lol.

... I like it. It's more consumer friendly and more friendly for the devs in the long run. more sales through both platforms. What is there to hate?

There is to hate. that you buy a system EXCLUSIVELY for some games. Or i might aswell stick to pc gaming. THAT is my problem. Wasting your money.

 

[Something whatever]

I Should have waited...oh well. Intrested to see what mods comes out of this.

That's a good thing. More can play, if there's an audience.

Don't rely on games being exclusive, but enjoying the games available for the console.

Obviously you can't rely on it. thats the entire discussion. if games are timed exclusive why bother buy console with said game.

Some people have preferred platforms and like to know that if they're buying it on their not favorite platform that it's for a good reason.
Having exclusive games then released elsewhere can feel like wasted money or atleast money not well spent

This is one of the reasons why I dislike home consoles and only really care for handhelds/nintendo consoles. If the main reason you'd want that system is just for a few exclusive games that will eventually get ported to PC, you're doing it wrong. You should have exclusive features and gimmicks, not exclusive GAMES. the only exception for this would be back in the 90s where the Genesis and SNES had very different exclusives mostly because of their insanely different hardware, and how they have different hardware features that can't be replicated on the other console (mode 7, more colors, Blast processing, etc) but nowadays every game can just be put on every console and really it just feels like they're locking it all back under a 300-400 dollar paywall.

Which is what should be because it incentives developers to make different/more games.

I'm curious, what value do you see in exclusives as a consumer? Usually people buy a console so they can play a really good game that isn't available anywhere else. It's a pretty shitty deal for the consumer in the end because they're ending up having to pay hundreds of dollars on top of the ~$60 or whatever price just to play a single game.

Is it just buyers remorse after the game gets ported, so you feel like if you had just waited you could have saved yourself the cost of the console?

It is simple. There more competition the better games we get. The different consoles gives us that!
So you pay for those systems to get those exclusives that might not even produced otherwise! But now they might since they made money from them on the consoles and think they can play both sides... I mean it can work for them.. but for the consumer that bought his/her console it is sucky cuz he/she shoulda just waited in half the cases these days.

Hopefully we get PC and Switch cross play.
