OOT is one of my favorite games of all time. I'd be interested in this if I didn't have to buy a Switch to play it. Forcing people to spend several hundred dollars on a device to play your games is so 1991.
All consoles have exclusives. What do you mean? Some games are even pc exclusive.
I agree that having the possibility to play all games on all consoles/computers would be great but that is not the world we live in. And you are not forced to play everything. Or you could like... Borrow the console and game from a friend just like in 1991.
Nintendo is the exclusivity king though. Sony was releasing their exclusives to PC until recently. Microsoft releases their games on multiple platforms these days. If you want exclusivity to stop, you have to vote with your wallet. Zelda is my all time favorite franchise and I haven't spent a dime on Nintendo in over 8 years because of their BS.
