Enotria: The Last Song: thanks to @XboxP3 (Phil Spencer) and our amazing community, we're now in direct contact with the Xbox Team. We're excited to work on bringing Enotria: The Last Song to Xbox ASAP!

 

[Da1337Vinci]

Something must be off with their processing pipeline that it need such an escalation that Phil himself contacted them.

On one hand Phil is responsible for the current situation of Xbox but such acts do make him endearing.

 

[RoboFu]

What's a Enotria and why does it require the top dog?

 

[Heisenberg007]

I wonder where are the people now who were accusing the devs of lying in an attempt to garner attention for the game.

 

[Punished Miku]

That's good news.

Now fix your communication earlier. Hire a couple extra people.

 

[DR3AM]

Phil = goat

 

[Rentahamster]

The MS equivalent to emailing gaben directly.

Good on Phil for stepping in, but they really need to figure out why the hell that was even necessary to begin with. MS commits so many unforced errors it's embarrassing. They should know better than this by now.

 

[winjer]

Devs should not have to go public, to have problems like this sorted.
MS really needs to organize their company better than this.

 

[Darkkahn]

Getting touched by Phil. What an honor!

 

[The Cockatrice]

Can you imagine how many indies are/were stuck in this pipeline? Fucking yikes.

 

[Schnauzer]

I'm always rooting for small development studios. Best of luck to Entoria! I would love a sales breakdown in the future.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The incompetent one fixed his own incompetent creation. Phillip Mortimer Bartholemule Harris strikes again!

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Of all the games… Phil bothered to get off his ass for this?

Have you tried it? It is really well done if you like souls games, it is a bit too slow for my taste but artistically is top notch.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Good.

I read some first impressions on the demo from fellow Italians. They weren't exactly hyped.

I doubt Xbox users are going to jump ship for a Soulslike made in spaghetti land of they didn't do that already for Bloodborne.

Developers, developers, developers...

 

[ahtlas7]

They took to socials so of course someone from Xbox reached out. Sad that's the route required to get service.

It is not Bloodborne or Lies of P, that's sure, but still it is a nice game, and like it or not it might be just the game that put a little bit of clarity on the xbox situation cause if it is true I can't even imagine how many indie devs are in the same situation.

 

[Chad Warden]

Phil actually rectifying some of his own incompetence.

Has the ship finally been righted?

 

[Ge Os]

This might be related to both Capcom Collections also coming to Xbox.
Someone was 100% not doing their job.

I know of one developer that actually hates dealing with Xbox's BS and prefeers publishing on Epic.
That's how bad it is.

 

[adamsapple]

We love you, Phil.

 

[ManaByte]

We love you, Phil.

We know.

 

[adamsapple]

We know.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Phil the Goat, another lifetime Award?

 

[gothmog]

They really need to fix whatever process they have that is broken. We hear about this from time to time of developers getting no response from Xbox.

 

[akira__]

Ah the famous phill foresight. They let wukong pass, but couldn't pass up this gem.

 

[Little Chicken]

but series s

 

[ZehDon]

Obviously another lie to mask the Series S problems. /s

 

[CLW]

Why would ANYONE want the kiss of death of having Phil to do ANYTHING with your business

 

[Sooner]

I feel like you believe people are laughing with you, not at you.

 

[ReBurn]

but series s

I heard that he personally discontinued it to make this happen.

 

[Ridicululzz]

Phil delivers once again! Another DUB for Xbox!!

 

[adamsapple]

I feel like you believe people are laughing with you, not at you.

Phil's top-tier leadership is a proud moment, not a laughing matter.

 

[Shrap]

It should never take a public twitter campaign to get your game approved on a platform. Especially one that is struggling so badly.

Also fuck Phil. He destroyed xbox as a platform.

 

[nowhat]

Phil's top-tier leadership is a proud moment, not a laughing matter.

So all the indie devs facing similar issues must simply organize a Twitter campaign and uncle Phil will come to the rescue? That sounds like an ideal platform to port your game into!
