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

I think it's the guy who said he went to GamesCom and said he talked to insiders and devs who claimed it was a memory leak issue. Were the Wukong devs at GamesCom? I'd put his info in the same category as Pauls.

Have said this before Mike and Phil butted heads often while he was at Xbox
But here lies the problem, look who Mike is interacting with, like they all did even when he worked at Xbox

I still expect a professional media company to have staff that do their due diligence over any old leaker on the Internet.Known leaker that hasn't backtracked and that is according toHeisenbergFX4 more reliable than Tassi ...Forbes ain't that great about video games far from it just like Tassi.
How the fuck has journalism got to this state?

I can't take anything Ybarra says seriously after he was trying to push subscription exclusive games. Just grateful he's not making those calls if that's his plan.

Honestly seeing how MS is playing dirty,if I was Sony, I'd now actually try to money hat the game and even make the dev say that it is because both Xbox can't handle it...Maybe two can play the lying game now?

Imagine ... You can say anything and gullible people buy it and even worse you get more money than by not saying it...
Even worse imagine some people throw tamper tantrums about your fake rumor exposing all their bias?

IGN aren’t known for their professionalism either.
It’s been like this since forever; moreover, they have literal shills working for them doing Xbox propaganda.

Man, Xbox are going full on defense for the Xbox Series S, between the Xbox Social Media Manager posting a picture of one to both Paul and IGN specifically saying it wasn’t a technical issue, seems like clear talking points were fed to them by Xbox. That eXtas1s tweet really has them shook.
IGN understands that no tech issue that would delay Black Myth: Wukong has been reported to Xbox
I called out Paul immediately when I saw his stupid name. He's always full of crap but all the people think maybe there's a chance he source wasn't deep within his colon.

Colin Moriarty was the last real gaming journalist ign had and now they have pretty much become the national enquirer of gaming news.

At this point just cancel all mainstream medias, most of them paid off in a way or another by the big corporations.

At the very least, he should probably be blacklisted as a source. He's been criticized for clickbait before but this takes it to a whole new level. No one's gonna care that he's walking it back now; they'll just go with the original story and say something like "Sony must be threatening him!" to justify the walk-back.
This just goes to show how shoddy most Western games journalism is these days, and has been for a while. Too many folks itching to get the big scoop, but don't take the time to verify their info before running a story. It's ridiculous.
Now he's just running with theories other people already came up with

Why you keep bringing nick up? He still is a fake insider. Be glad you didn't take that ban bet, you would've lost.My "g", you entered the thread asking for ban bets and pivoted from your long held belief's about Grubb and Nick overnight. Don't talk about anyone elses pivots

This reads more like Sony dev support > Xbox dev support and that is also probably helped by the fact that they only have to target one console that is relatively similar in power to the target PC specs.

Maybe it is time now to talk about that bullshit MS response?
And how shameless can they be until they get called out?

Do you think people would sub to HBO MAX if Netflix had House of the Dragons? I think not. Exclusives matter! People saying that they don't matter are full of shit including a lot of so-called game journalists and don't let me forget that 2 face Parris guy from twitter/Kinda Funny.

Can I legit ask what made you pivot so quickly from ironclad?My "g", you entered the thread asking for ban bets and pivoted from your long held belief's about Grubb and Nick overnight. Don't talk about anyone elses pivots
I really believe Xbox wants to move away from that whole this is the only place to play this game and in no small part that their consoles aren't selling well so they want to get their games on as many platforms as possible.
They will prove this point even more very soon

I agree but they need to come out and say that. That's it.

and myself have said since the discussion started yesterday that GS or Sony can come out and clarify this to end the discussion.I think Imran is a very credible person and if he says the source is ironclad, I have no reason to think otherwise.

It doesn't make Xbox profitable. It makes Microsoft Gaming profitable. There is a difference.

It'd be pretty stupid for Sony to respond. Imagine having an exclusive (at least in the minds of everyone) without paying a dime. What would they even say? "Don't worry guys, an Xbox version is coming." Seems like the people running damage control for MS are doing free marketing.I don't think I have. Unless there's a specific post where you think I pivoted.

No it must be Sony to answer outlandish claims that Tassi is already backtracking ....Then he'll say he doesn't believe Sony.

The games publisher, at the minimum, should have clarified that there's no exclusive deals in place. The longer they stay quiet, the shadier it looks.

Paul Tassi is a clown. Extremely obvious he has a vendetta against this game for political reasons.

Eh....that wasn't a credible statement from him though. He was guessing as to who the source was. Said he was pretty sure he knew who it was. Plus, as I said before, he was catering to a resetera crowd that absolutely despises Game Science. Plenty of reason to think otherwise about what Imran said.

And GS has already clarified. It's not their problem if certain folks, wearing tinfoil hats, refuse to believe their official stance and instead choose to cook up fiction that can put their favorite $3 trillion company as a victim.

Why? It's not really their fault random people started rumours and not answering works best for them. I see no obligation to clarify another company's "slimy platform things" .The only one I can imagine being pressured to respond would be the developers since they'd like people to buy the eventual Xbox release, but they've already given an official answer and they don't seem eager to repeat it.

You mean like that time where everyone was concerned about the 'radio silence' when PS5 apparently didn't support raytracing and Xbox Series did? They don't see a reason to get involved in the petty xbox console war that fantards like to perpetuate. Especially as Game Science has already clarified that there is a delay due to optimisation issues.I don't think I have. Unless there's a specific post where you think I pivoted.

If there was an exclusivity, then why is there no cross promotion, why didn't Sony send me a notification about it the way they did for Rise of the Ronin or FF7R Rebirth, why don't trailers have PlayStation logos on them, correct me if I am wrong but this seems like the most secretive exclusivity ever.
Sony doesn't owe Paul Tassi or Jez Corden anything, though. If I was Sony I would just let this ride, ESPECIALLY if there was no exclusivity agreement.I don't think I have. Unless there's a specific post where you think I pivoted.

Indeed. GS is the developer and publisher and they should have PR people ready to quash issues like this over social media.
I've used the Phantom Blade example before. It's a smaller publisher and they've even openly talked about only being on PS5 at launch, but they still replied within a few hours when some fake quotes were being attributed to them about Xbox.
Game Science being quiet is not helping this at all. They are capable of saying something beyond the optimizations line from a while ago.

Again, Game Science doesn't have to respond to every crackpot on the internet.

The probably won't say anything because of the fact that Microsoft had to flap their gums about it and it isn't in Game Science's best interest to basically say Microsoft is full of shit.
Then the crackpots win
lol....crackpots only win when you give them the attention they crave.
