Yup and that is why I dont work in marketing. Those clowns that made Quantum Error pretty much dug themselves an early grave with their actions.

From the devs.
Xbox people are utter jackasses.
Either incompetence or Phil fired the people who should be doing this.
that's your answer

So the game is actually ready, but Microsoft just won't respond to them?

'They don't care about Enotria and they don't care about you,' Jyamma Games CEO blasts Xbox amidst indefinite delay

Italian folklore-inspired soulslike "Enotria: The Last Song" is once again delayed for Xbox.

Especially that....."a remarkable game"
Of course it is the game that, at this moment, everyone was waiting for., as Quantum Error was 
I am very clear that the XSX version of Quantum Error never existed, not even in plans.... In the case of Ethoria I am beginning to think the same.

At least they're being transparent and not acting like those mute Monkeys from China. I'll get the PS5 version now that I know it's cause Microsoft is being a buncha ******.

Seems the devs are asking for help in reaching Microsoft. Maybe there is something that can be done once we're done making tired Sony jokes.

I mean what is Xbox even doing?
Mike and Phil were too busy celebrating Jim Ryans promotion to actually worry about keeping Xbox alive

It still seems very strange to me... Do you know why?
Well, because the game has been announced and delayed on XSeries several times before (they didn't even demo it for XBOX) and I don't think this was the problem on those occasions... Not to mention that the problem had been happening for a long time, and they waited 2 weeks for its launch to announce it??.
Why didn't they report the situation months ago? And why didn't they include this same reason in the official statement instead of letting people speculate and open the door with XSS being the culprit?
You are allowed to believe that I am rambling and thinking wrongly for no reason, but you are not going to deny that what has been happening with this game is very strange.

Microsoft doesn't care about consoles anymore. The only part of Microsoft Gaming that is making money is the part that is a third party publisher.

They shared a drink of scotch in Phils office saying Jimmie would run PS into the ground.
While they are still selling a ton of consoles their games under his watch were lackluster and trending downward fast

Except this isn't the first time we've heard stories like this from other devs. The guy says they have the Xbox version ready to go. Microsoft can call them out on their bullshit if that is not the case. I'm not going to try to comment on the release cycle of games because I have no knowledge of them.
This has become a pattern and seems clear that is on Microsoft.

Maybe this was a sony's secret deal too like everything bad xbox does seems that they all originated from sony...Like xbox certification process.

One company cares for games and its console users, while the other company doesn't.

I have no idea, but it feels like they fired people and automated processes (badly) so unless you're a big studio with connections you're at the mercy of webpages working and AI doing what it should.

The Xbox certification process seems to resemble more Sony's refund process.

I’m not necessary interested in the game, but as an Xbox owner, WTF.

Jim managed to both fuck up Sony's pipelines AND give them the beating of their lives, essentially taking them out of the market.I mean what is Xbox even doing?

Just because it has been reported once more does not mean that it is a trend. Hundreds and hundreds of indi games are released on XSeries every day, month and year of all kinds without problems too. What happened differently?
The fact is that perhaps the decision not to launch it on day one could have been that, but the way of managing it could not have been worse and more suspicious.
They have had a lot of time to raise their voices and that will help them reach the date. Nor have they seen it necessary to clarify the reason in the official statement
It was very simple. The situation should have been reported several months ago and show the negligence and alleged contempt of MS/XBOX for its game.. Instead, they have decided to do it a couple of weeks after its launch and not comment on the reasons, leaving speculation to any possible narrative.

And for one company the gaming market is their passion and bread and butter, whereas the other has been ran as a ‘football manager’ esque fantasy side project for 20 years where losses and profits are just fuzzy words with no meaning.

Possible 4th example (I've noticed a few days ago when I was checking their twitter account for info on the western physical release):
The Xbox version of Witchspring R - which should have released alongside the PS5 and Switch versions - has seemingly been delayed for 'other reasons' even though the build appears to be complete.
MS needs to get their shit together and help out these small self-published indie studios.

We don't know what is going on behind the scenes between MS and these devs. I would think most would start posting this stuff on twitter as a last resort. And this doesn't mean that only these devs are having problems. It means they are the only ones who have spoken up. Could be they are the only ones. My guess is there are others, but that's me guessing just as you are so I'll leave it at that.
