Bungie's highly anticipated Destiny launches on Tuesday and, though it's not a console exclusive, Microsoft does not have permission to market the game alongside Xbox in the United Kingdom. They got around that, somewhat, by spoofing a perfume advertisement.

GameSpot noticed the advertisement before it was taken down. The page originally carried this explanation:

Okay, so here's the lowdown. Destiny is actually an epic new first-person shooter, available on Xbox. Thing is, we didn't have permission to run adverts for the game. So we didn't.

The advertisement was taken down and replaced with a block of text: "Hi. There are some great Xbox One offers available at the moment. Please check with retailers for more information."

    Oh that's too funny. You know what I really hate to see, excuses as to why games coming out today can't be ported over to the PC and visa versa. Consoles and the architecture behind these games are more computer like than ever before. It's sad to hear that, "it's complicated" as a response from a developer~

     

    I think the complicated part is that they have to optimize it for many different video cards from both nvidia and amd and optimize it for many different processors as well.  If it was simple, PC wouldnt be getting so many bad ports like Watch Dogs and Dead Rising 3 for example.  They can do it it just takes longer so they wont end up like those games, like how Rockstar is taking their time optimizing GTA5 for PC and Next Gen consoles.  For Dead Rising 3 it kept crashing after a few minutes of playing for a lot of people, and the solution was that I had to roll back my nvidia driver for it to stop crashing.

    Its a lot simpler optimizing for consoles because they have uniform hardware, its actually smart for them to get the best out of the consoles first and release that then possibly work on PC and release that later on.
