Exclusive PS Quest, Minding Your Own Business. Thoughts?

[abimus]

Out of curiosity, is anyone else pretty bummed that PS players got an exclusive quest? It seems like such a unique quest and I'm upset that there was an exclusive for only one platform. Was anyone else aware of this before purchasing the game on PC? I had no idea there was an exclusive quest until I started seeing gameplay footage online. Kinda sucks that we're not getting the same experience as other platform players. No hate to the devs, just wanted to let out my frustration a bit and see if anyone else felt similarly.

it's supposedly the best quest in the game, as well.

I'm suprised that it hasn't been modded in.

I agree, I'm really hoping this is something that happens. I think what ticks me off is that the game is the same price for PS consoles as it is on PC. So why are they getting an exclusive quest? I understand WB and Sony have like a contract or whatever but that's a pretty big bonus to only give one platform. Especially because I don't really feel as though that was advertised heavily if at all.

Some tried//...but i think a patch made it so you cannot. It removed files associated with it.

They pay a ton of money for this stuff, so yeah, it makes everyone feel bad, as it's simply a bad practice.

The game is the same price because Sony paid for the quest, not the users.

Wasn't this game supposed to be a PS exclusive at the start?
I'd rather have 99,9999999999% of the game than 0% of the game. One quest is nothing to be fussed about, even if it isn't timed exclusive quest.
If you think one quest means somehow you're getting cheated, it's like arguing that your burger has 1 less pickle slice on it. It is just silly.

Although of course it could have been there, splitting and exclusive stuff sucks.

I agree, but i hate exclusives for stuff. We are losing digital media because of this practice and i believe in keeping digital media for future generations to see how our culture and gaming has changed over the years.

Yeah, it sucks, but the exclusivity is only for a year.
Everyone else will get it eventually.

Hogwarts Legacy is not a valuable piece of media to "keep alive". It is branded, generic consumer shlock. Not really a meaningful argument with this, sadly. But the concept does apply other places

For instance, if you've missed a few time-limited story quests in Genshin Impact, it looks like you'll never be able to experience them. All that stuff just gone, because part of what sells the game is the FOMO.

It's not a practice we should love, but we should also remember that life is about experiencing things, not "keeping" things.

I think too many Western people have fallen into a "keeping" mindset instead of a "seeking" mindset. If you want to play the PS5 exclusive quest, maybe make a friend with a PS5. ;)

I am referring to all digital media, not just hogwarts legacy. For example, Stadia had some exclusives already lost because it was shut down...so no one will know those games or every play them in the future now. I am only using this game as a example.

Quest might be cool... the reward (shop) seems pretty meh.
Less content is always a bummer, though I guess the feeling stems more from the sense that there are too few missions and actual options rather than the exclusive mission itself for me.

I mean, I literally said no hate to the devs and I never heard anything about it being a PS exclusive to begin with. I never said I felt cheated, I said I was bummed and wanted others' opinions. It's also an extremely cool quest and adds a lot to the experience. I think it's okay to be a little upset that you're missing out on content.
