All those people who bought Destiny 2: Forsaken on PlayStation 4 purely for the platform exclusive Wavesplitter exotic trace rifle have just been done a great disservice. Or at least, they would have if such people actually existed.
The aforementioned gun has shown up on Xbox and PC, where infamous tentacle-faced NPC Xur is currently selling it. His idiot alien brain clearly can't comprehend the importance of timed exclusive tat.
Anyway, Bungie says it's working on a fix, so try not to lose sleep over this unmitigated disaster.
Putting aside the snark for just a minute, we're not sure whether something like this has happened before with platform exclusive content. It may just be an in-game item, but Bungie will still have a contract in place with Sony over this stuff, so breaking it does seem a bit careless.
Slow news day or the biggest outrage in gaming? You decide in the comments section below.

6/10, not bad.
You can purchase it on PC/Xbox but you can't equip it
Ah the nostalgia - it feels good to be back to ragging on Destiny 2 again.
@ShogunRok this is a big NothingBurger with a side of fries if I've ever seen one. Of course, we do exist in a culture where outrage is created by the smallest faux pas, so I expect to see a change.org petition popping up soon, followed by a ton of YouTube videos covering this major news topic.
Grrr! Rarrrgh! Rage... building... cannot... contain... OUTRAAAAAAGGGEEEE!!!!!
I mean, I don't own the game, but you bet I'm angry!
I don't care. But there is a contract. Bungie will have to do something to rectify the situation. I would be disappointed if there's any real public outrage. But not surprised if Sony wanted some sort of compensation.
Maybe the contract was with Activision and they're gone now 😉
Oh man, this is going to hurt the Destiny 2 sales on the PS4.
Whatever will Sony do? They'll have to file bankruptcy by Q4 if they don't get the exclusive rifle back!!
Sound the alarms, Sony will go bankrupt in a week at the news that a rifle has accidentally been seen on Xbox and PC. RIP PlayStation, it was a good one.
I'm outraged.
Outraged!
Well, not that outraged...
I'm not buying the PS5
I really do not care it is a gun.
I'm guessing us Sonyponys can now buy Forza for PS4, by way of apology?
Yeah, it's not bad because it's not exclusive anymore. It's bad because some idiots at Sony have actually paid with real money for it to be exclusive in the first place.
I blame Anthem.
