I generally think port-begging is just a shameful thing to do. People should play the games; that means if you really like a game that much, you'd go out of your way to get the platform that game is on. Gamers have done that plenty in the past and when someone couldn't get a certain platform, they were generally content with having made that choice, knowing what they'd miss out on.
Maybe it's the combination of game development taking longer, games costing more to make in the AAA space etc. combined with social media creating this culture of portbegging (which comes right along with "exclusivity shaming"), I dunno. Just because the variables are there, doesn't make the act itself okay.
And I think people in media like Dring have a responsibility to not feed into what's an increasingly toxic activity, because we all know what factors in the market have really laid the seeds for these "all games in all places", "anti-exclusivity" etc. narratives and specifically, what "company" has been paramount at pushing that ideology to best fit their own market goals in light of their console's failure.
It's Microsoft. The company is Microsoft.
This stuff doesn't happen by coincidence, especially at the rate of which it's been occurring these days.
