From a business POV, I understand the appeal to exclusive games. Especially the single player titles that have been released in the past. However, the amount of profit that could be made just from allowing Xbox to play HD2 would be huge. It would also allow for the game to remain active longer as there is just much more players available to play. As much as I would love to play the game, I can’t justify spending 500+ just to play a game on a console that I have nothing on. If I didn’t have 10+ years worth of games, friendships, in game add ons, etc on Xbox, it would be easier.
I just think that keeping the game off of Xbox just hurts everyone. Even if I had to pay 80 on Xbox to play it, I would.
