It makes sense that Apple and Google (and Microsoft?) would consider strategies around exclusivity for gaming content. Gaming is tremendously important and I think that has been universally recognised by consumer electronics companies now. It should go without saying that gaming is important not only in and of itself, but also as an entry point for other kinds of entertainment content.
I don't see exclusivity deals as necessarily good or bad; that is, I think they are just a natural fact of life (given that developers have to make choices about where to put their development resources, and platform owners are in the business of creating differentiation for their product to give it a competitive edge).

Ah, my apologies. I seem to have forgotten a word.
It doesnt matter, that deal with EA is not that important
I guess I was just thinking, before you make something exclusive to your platform, you should check it is not Worst-anything.
