Taul Passi: Black Myth Wukong not coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal

No one owes MS anything. They only have themselves to blame for no one believing a word they say.
Reality is more nuanced than that. Its true you cant trust everything they say, but also true that they're more transparent and willing to communicate than any of the other platform holders. But I guess you're right, I wont hold my breath for anyone acknowledging that anytime soon.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Dude do you want them to repeat again and again? at best you'll get the same answer as before and it won't satisfy you again.

I'll, again, use the Phantom Blade Zero developer example. They already clarified that their game was launching on PS5 (at first at least) but when later there were some fake things attributed to them about Xbox, they immediately came out to clarify those.

I'm not saying GS need to come out and lay down their memory usage on Series S, just to refute these claims about any exclusivity deal being the cause of the delay.

That's gonna end this discussion immediately.
 
IGN is especially on the hook as they just purchased like 5 sites in the past year alone, they went all-in on gaming media right as the console wars were breathing their last breaths. Games media are fighting for their lives right now.
I saw Cog on one of his podcast saying how he's 100% noticed the numbers on his channels dropping ever since the podcast announcement they did a while back. You know these sites and youtubers are freaking out.

Absolutely reeks of coordinated PR messaging to me. The new Discord orders are out I guess.

That's what I keep coming back to. Two different sources provide this to two different outlets at the exact same time?

Looks like Jez wants to try to use this as leverage to prevent Xbox from dying by trying to...I guess guilt Satya Nadella into stopping the PS5 ports. I am reading into those tweets correctly?

Yes you are. It's sad. They are a sad bunch.

Usually how it works is you're sitting on a source and trying to confirm before running it. Then someone else gets your scoop so you lost the credit by waiting, then publish that you heard something similar independently since its already out.

You can even see it in how subdued the console warring has become on Twitter. The well is truly dry at this point. Even the Indiana Jones thing was met with quiet sadness.

I have a personal wish in seeing outlets evolve after this silly war ends, I have a feeling they won't, but hope never hurts I guess.

One of the tell-tale signs of a media campaign imo. Almost as if both journalists were on the same call with the "source".

Basically THIS! Super coordinated. How all these "people" get the story on the same day?.....
Not even same day, within less than two hours lmfao.

Honestly who cares if true ? In the case Sony Gave money to keep this Game exclusive can't compare Microsoft obtaining tons of IPs throught Activision Blizzard and Bethesda.

If Sony Gave money good for them, if they don't Also good ....it's a win for Sony Anyway.

So I guess you will be disapointed because nothing that you want can happen, it is contradictory.Either sony made a deal, did not advertize or took full advantages of the deal and wanted the studio to keep quiet about it then they can't clarify that there's a deal.
Or they just respond the same response because they are not specialised in PR to avoid a backlash from xbox
Or they just outright deny it
or they don''t respond considering that their game is selling well and that any response could harm potential xbox sales.
Not a lot of scenario there that would satisfy everybody and also there may be some legal obligations that may prevent them from saying we have a problem with x or y machine to avoid bad mouthing a console when a memory leak is not the fault of said console for example (I used the memory leak as an example).
 
This is why I have a gaming pc. True exclusives almost don’t exist anymore outside of Nintendo and the PS ports that haven’t been announced yet.

I also have a ps5, but I usually play PS games on Steam.

Why spend money on exclusivity to have good Marketing and then not try to use it in any way by marketing it ?

Dont trust this Source ....

It's stage 4 of Sony's plan to destroy Xbox. They will now start buying exclusives and have the devs say they are working on optimizing it for Xbox. Prepare to hear this a lot more.
Nope their plan is to let Xbox outspend themselves out of console business....So prophetic

The Deal probably Was funded with :

"PlayStation uses the money they make off of Xbox Games on PS5 to pay for other games to block on the Xbox Platform."

Phil knew

I’m still waiting on the 3 stooges that believes in this bs so much that they are going hardcore in here. Yet don’t have the adams balls to permaban bet. Guess they don’t even believe it themselves.
Its almost like I never said I believed it and am waiting on confirmation. Always nice to see you barely make it 2 sentences without revealing you're retarded. Go back to emojis.

This is unironically going to start happening once devs have to optimize for both PS5 and PS5 Pro, they won't have time to make the game also for Series S and X only to be played for free on Gamepass

Now we are believing IGN?

Didn't they just yell at us gamers for not playing Concord?

The same people with this classic?



Straight Face Trying Not To Laugh GIF

I dunno why everybody laugh at them for this video. Back then everybody was mostly saying shit like this, "1080p is invisible until 32 inchs". I mean even now omg on hardware threads when people ask to buy a monitor 27 or 32 inchs, they ask "1440p or 4K?" MOST people answer "well for those sizes, take 1440p it is better, you won't see a huge benefit with 4K, and you'll get more fps in 1440p"...
