Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that former Xbox One exclusive Quantum Break will also be coming to PC, with those who purchase the game digitally on Microsoft's console reciving a free, additional copy of the game for PC as well.
For most people, this is an added bonus. Xbox One owners get copy of the game they can also play on PC, and PC gamers get a chance to experience Remedy's amazing-looking game. For normal, sensible people, this is a win for gaming. Microsoft is breaking down the barriers of platform exclusivity.
But the world isn't filled with logical people. This is especially true of the gaming industry where people often take to social media to just b*tch about anything and everything.
Case in point, "The CrapGamer" who lashed out at Phil Spencer through a series of some of the most ridiculous tweets I've ever seen.
Trigger Warning: The stupidity of the following "complaints" could cause an aneurysm.
@The_CrapGamer You cancelled a pre-order for a game you want to play because someone else get's to play the game on Windows?

@The_CrapGamer I think u know how much I respect our hardcore Xbox fans. And I understand your passion. Making Xbox great is a big priority.

@XboxP3 I don't feel respected, I feel like a second class option. We pay to play online, we endured all the flubs and stuck around.

I… uh, don't… um, what?
What exactly is he complaining about? That a game coming to Xbox One is also coming to PC? Why is he so upset more people get to play it?
It's worth noting, "The CrapGamer" runs a YouTube channel where he claims to be "one of the most controversial, outspoken, in your face game related YouTubers you'lle ver come across."
Add idiotic to that list.
Good on Phil for not completely losing his sh*t over such stupidity.
