I'm not arguing about the differences, just that they're the same in one aspect. You're saying one is bad because it is anti-consumer. I'm pointing out that the other is the same level of anti-consumer, and that you have just not noticed.

Deal or no deal is not relevant to the consumer.

I know they're not the same. But a game released on one store out of convenience is just as anti-consumer as an exclusive deal.
