Several points: Exclusives hurt gaming and gamers, so saying Sony failed by not locking down their games is objectively not true, as Sony AND Microsoft sell consoles at a loss so selling on PC is pure net. Also, imagine talking about the history of indie games and not mentioning Cave Story...

Exclusives don't hurt gaming whatsoever. Probably the best time in gaming was when Sony and Microsoft were putting out quality exclusives back to back. Since Microsoft stopped trying, Sony has slowed way down because the competition is nearly dead. The only people it's bad for are those who don't have the console the game came out on, but emulation and patience rectify that. Without a killer app consoles will cease to exist, which will be bad as a whole since we'll have no company trying to sell theirs through incredible and innovative games. A lot of the stagnation we see now is due to the complete lack of competition in console exclusives since Sony is the only one releasing any quality games, and that has slowed to like 3 a generation compared to god knows how many during ps4 era. (Nintendo is and always will be in a separate ecosystem that doesn't really need to compete like xbox and ps) non exclusivity is great for consumers in the short term but at the loss of any incentive for these huge companies to make high budget games of any quality or originality, because it's not trying to sell a console with it. It will be much safer to just produce generic slop when all you have to do is justify a 60 dollar price tag compared to a 500 dollar console
