Yeah, but he is still mischaracterizing that as a "temp exclusivity deal".

It looks like he's taking baby steps on walking back the claim he made in his article.

I hope more devs do this. No need to delay the release on other platforms because of the stupid series s. I wonder how many games released later then they should have because of that piece of shit and microsofts dumb policies

Anybody with an IQ above room temperature will know that there is no exclusivity deal.
You don't do an exclusive deal and pay millions of dollars and then not talk about it. Sony didn't market the exclusivity deal. They didn't even market the game FFS. There is no exclusivity deal here.
And if there was, Microsoft could have simply released one statement:
"We have seen rumors about Black Myth Wukong not being on Xbox due to technical issues. We wanted to clarify that the game isn't on Xbox due to any technical issues, but it is due to Game Science's own business decision."
But the fanboys and fan-publications gonna do the same song and dance that they have been doing.

Did the Ironclad source reach out to Tom Warren source?
Did they tell him no thinking allowed?
(In his now deleted tweet he stated that he thought ps didnt have deal)

Like I said yesterday. Microsoft have no clue about IP and as such, they won't know what game looks like a hit and which ones don't.
He was talking about how after thinking it over, it's unlikely that Wukong is a PS exclusive.
Must have gotten some negative feedback on his discord chat.

He said the more he thought about this the more he didn't believe there was an exclusivity deal here because it didn't make sense without marketing. Something many of us here have been saying for a while.

Hold the line Tassi. Keep the drama alive. Taul Passi? More like Short Passi.
If it is just a memory leak bug, then ultimately it will come out much sooner than if Sony was involved so I guess that's a good thing.

These Xbox fanboys are delusional: On one hand, they say PlayStation is also abandoning exclusives and that it is a matter of time when PS Studios games will release on Xbox; on the other hand they say that PlayStation is moneyhatting Black Myth Wukong... Stick to one version, will you?

Damn so Tassi is backtracking, Warren says he thinks there's no exclusive, Grubb and Shpshal nick say that there are no exclusivity deal just like extas1s and the dev says it is for optimisation ....
Maybe it is time to look at the firsts posts of this thread seeing who will be true to their words?

How does MS/XBOX not have enough resources to send to Game Science to help with the Xbox version? They have one of the best if not the best studios with UE5 knowledge. Makes no sense.

It’s so weird. Pretty much all companies don’t comment on competitors actions, particularly any supposed deals. Probably why this was done anonymously, but we know it was Microsoft reaching out to bloggers they have cultivated. Seems slimy for sure.That would be a slimy thing to do right ?

Well, its selling consoles in China.All of this drama over a mid game
We are getting a peek into history, how Sony established its console business on back of Japanese developers.
Sony only paid to get a PS console port done… hilarious.

Can you imagine them doing that? It would be like spreading a fud campaign about the competitor performance, let's say for example lower number of terraflops ?

I just got to this thread and read it through, what a rollercoaster. There is so much noise from these "insiders" that I have just reflexively tuned them out over the years. Throwing everything at a wall to occasionally have a few things stick just hurts their credibility in my eyes. The fact that they are playing the "telephone" game is too apparent to ignore.

This story has been crazy. Enough push back from other sources though for me to assume it’s bs like I always suspected.

Those marching orders came down to back off
The damage has been done with how people were saying its now ironclad and thats how Xbox wants it, stirring shit so people aren't talking about the real issue the Series S
I hate how Xbox tries to constantly wage war instead of just putting their heads down and make great games
With the crap Sony has been putting out Jim Ryan literally set the ball on a T for Xbox to get back in the game

If it really is just tech support, then MS putting out that retard no comment statement is the dumbest thing they've ever said. No one really gave a damn about Baldur's Gate 3 delay after it was all out in the open. They could have just done the same thing here.

Makes sense for MS to back off. They shouldn’t have engaged bloggers in the first place. Streisand Effect was starting to materialize, getting the poor Series S performance to be talked about more and more. And for some reason amplifying this is on PlayStation only. Such a strange thing for Xbox to put out to its bloggers, all because the weak console got knocked by a Twitter guy.

Yeah, his failure at Xbox has become even more apparent now that we actually see more details about Xbox profitability in the financials and the only thing making money for "Microsoft Gaming" is ABK.

They didn't market a timed exclusive or tie it in any way with PS5/console exclusive. Not only amnesiac, but someone must be asleep on the job lol.
WAKE UP, SONY!
