"admitting only members of a socially restricted or very carefully selected group: an exclusive club"

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="deangallop"] There is nothing improper about it, it's on PC and 360 and not on the rest of the consoles therefor it's exclusive to those consoles. deangallop

but it's not exclusive.

Every time this argument comes up I post this picture. But people always want to ignore what is fact. Exclusive can mean more than one as long as something is excluded.

Don't even try that. If Left 4 Dead 2 is exclusive to the 360 and PC, then Madden is exclusive to everything. Or Modern Warfare 2 is exclusive to the PC, 360, and PS3. In fact, putting it that way, everything is an exclusive.

It's funny to see this, people try again and again, but alas, nothing ever changes.

or

At the end of the day, yes it can be exclusive to the consoles. However due to the fact that we include the PC as an equal, we count it as any game on more than one system (even on PC/console) as being exclusive to that particular system.There is more than one way to use the word, admins/mods obviously chose the one more fitting to the "competition" of System Wars.

Why do you omit this:

"limitedtotheobjectorobjectsdesignated:exclusiveattentiontobusiness."

L4D2 is limited to objects designated: the Xbox 360 and PC.

or

"shuttingoutallothersfromapartorshare:anexclusiverighttofilmthenovel."

L4D2 is shut out from others it's not on PS3 or Wii.

[QUOTE="deangallop"][QUOTE="Chutebox"] No, an exclusive club is one group. 360 and PC or Ps3 and 360 are not one group. They are separate.Chutebox

It's an exclusive club if only certain people are allowed in. Have you ever even heard of an exclusive nightclub? You're making it sound like an exclusive club means that there is only 1 in existence.

A computing platform is software and hardware working to run other software. The OS on its own is not a platform.

I think almost everyone is agreed on that.

Say you're just comparing 360 to Ps3 library, go ahead and include 360/PC games. Just don't call them exclusive.

The way I see it, it's just the fanboys who try and discredit those games but they're wrong.

Now if you're comparing exclusives for the two systems, that's another story.

You missed the point where I said admins/mods decided upon the most fitting for the System Wars metagame...

Exclusive can be limited to an object, as well as objects. In SW we limit to the singular, rather than the plural.

A computing platform is software and hardware working to run other software. The OS on its own is not a platform.

Tell that to every single game developer, then. The whole world must be wrong.xsubtownerx

I'm just telling you what a computing platform is... Don't get so defensive.

There are different definitions for a lot of words, the most applicable is usually used. Just like with exclusives.
