Hey!! let’s give you money and not advertise that it’s only for us. Makes no sense

Do people understand that the bigger scandal would be the head of Game Science lying about why the Xbox version wasn't ready at launch? Do you honestly think Sony wants that headache? Cause I'm sure if he lied, then it would have to come at the behest of Sony. Does anyone understand how little-to-no sense that makes?

And then what, MS would then drag the developer for lying and putting blame on the Series S. And for what? To hide the fact that Sony paid for exclusivity? The same year that FF Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, and Silent Hill 2 all came to the PS5, and Sony had no issues promoting as console exclusives? Why single one this one game out instead of the others? Why not have them all lie and say yeah, Xbox sucks because of the Series S? It's like people have no critical thinking skills whatsoever.

The power of Series S

This all boils down to Microsoft’s blunder or a decision to first build this sad excuse of a console and secondly forcing devs to provide parity across S/X

Pro enhanced too just sayin

There's literally nothing in that interview that suggests this.

The series S is the problem.

Hello, everyone.

I wanted to stop in and remind people that, per the N4G Submission Guidelines -- https://n4g.com/articles/ou... and scroll down to Submission Tutorial -- N4G requires linking to the most original source of news when possible for news. This means that posts made by developers and publishers on social media and forums that otherwise meet our other guidelines should be used. Patch notes from Steam and official news on the game sites, such sources should also be used for news of game updates and events. Furthermore, if the source isn't a source that can be originally sourced, you need to credit that source using the Credit URL option when submitting content.

This information should not be new to most of our long-time contributors. We've been really lenient for a long time and have been making corrections as we find them, but we will start handing out restrictions for those who have had warnings about this guideline item because it has become apparent that people are ignoring the guideline.

N4G is reliant on its original sourcing guidelines. It's what we use to make sure sites don't take your content as their own and prevents the same from every other source. It keeps things fair for those who create content.

Thank you for reading,

I mean, you can't deny that when he said it, he clearly must have been thinking of some kind of relationship with Games Science regarding Black Myth.

However, this still is no confirmation an exclusive deal was made.

But obviously there was something going on, otherwise he just wouldn't have thought about Black Myth when answering the question.

It's obvious they did. I don't know why they're so coy about it. No one cares.

Microsoft must be telling the truth. Sony is lying, manipulating, bribing and most likely threatening any publisher or reviewer when things aren't going their way.

Why has this rubbish been approved? Genshin Impact didn't have any Sony-backed exclusivity. The developers chose to focus on PC, mobile and PS, because that's where the audience was for that type of game in both eastern and western regions. Xbox didn't make sense as it would have cost them more than they would have made back, and it would have taken devs away from working on updates to the game.

Stray may have been a timed exclusive, but Xbox has also had timed exclusives from the same publisher, so I don't see anything wrong with that one.

But, the article is all speculation and clearly written by someone who's still upset they can't play the game on Xbox.

I saw this article yesterday.

"We have for instance in GPDR, the Content Ventures team led by Christian Svensson. There’s nobody better in the world than Christian and Shawne Benson at finding hidden gems and nurturing up-and-coming companies that are probably off the radar for most of us. They get tons of support from the third-party account management team and the partner development team, who are often the very first points of contact."

"[This team worked with] Annapurna Games very early on games like Stray. The same approach also led our support of Genshin Impact, Black Myth: Wukong and Stellar Blade for example."

Man what's the story behind the black myth? Someone (once again) isn't being upfront here.
