    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    True, but it would actually be very very poor journalism not to reach out to Paul. You really don't want to be seen writing "we corroborate this story with our own source" without making sure. Considering these articles both went up a couple of hours from each other, I would be quite confident...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    I hope this isn't a serious question. It's not really a problem, but it's def something that should be reported on, it's very much industry related and the product in question is selling a gazillion copies. If people get upset at news, it's their own fault. When a newspaper/website says they...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    IGN has their own source which would be different than Paul's. So this makes the thing more likely than before when it comes to being true. Like you say though, it would be very different than previous recent PlayStation deals, and not being very RoI focused at all. Their source isn't the...

    Xbox Paul Tassi (Forbes): Black Myth Wukong not currently coming to Xbox due to an exclusivity deal (Update: IGN Corroborates, many others deny)

    That's cool and all but I have some strong doubts. There was pretty much no marketing done by PlayStation, and we didn't see no footage of PS5 until like a week before release. I'm sure there's other things too that just seem completely counter to having signed an exclusivity deal if I think...

    Discussion the definition of State Of Play has been altered on PlayStation's website

    Maybe, maybe not. I would not read too much in minor language changes.

    News Annapurna is partnering with Remedy Entertainment to co-finance Control 2

    Leaving aside the wider business implications(movies/TV stuff) which I'm sure were a pretty big part of that deal, this seems like a great fit from a creative point of view.

    Discussion Shinji Mikami: 'There's no Space for Dino Crisis when Monster Hunter Exists'

    He doesn't work at Capcom and this logic also doesn't make much sense.

    Discussion Bamco abandons Blue Protocol (jrpg MMO), cancels Western release and collaboration with Amazon

    Yeah, ever since the betas, we haven't heard anything good coming from JP/Content Creators. The more time passes and the more it seems like FFXIV will probably remain the last Great New MMO and it almost didn't actually happen, they just doubled down on remaking the game. Making a big budget...

    PC Astro Bot Director rules out PSVR2 version but wants to hear from fans about potential PC version

    I don't think the market is there for platformers are that price point on Steam. The Steam userbase is used to a gazillion very high quality platformers/metroidvania for cheap via indies since the early 2010s. Plus, the whole PS history is one of the hooks for this game and that'll only work on...

    Discussion Gamespot Twitter account's profile and banner photos are now World of Warcraft ads

    I mean, this is obviously a paid deal with the marketing team. Considering who owns Gamespot at this time(Fandom) this doesn't surprise me. This Reminds me of back in the day when Gamespot would have the whole website filled by banners of XYZ game, good times. This is one way of doing it that...

    Nintendo Yakuza Kiwami Announced for Nintendo Switch

    That's a very standard practice. Also the people who might complain about the show not having much to do with the game already have the game. This port is for newcomers with a potential emphasis on the Japanese market/Asia?(it's on the Switch after all) Also, I might off a bit on this, but I...

    News Star Wars Outlaws Reviews & Metacritic

    This is pretty much an expected score. Even the open world that sells the most and probably have the most polish by Ubisoft are the AC games and those cap out at 83-85~ Low 80s high 70s are where the "lesser" reviewed games from Ubisoft tend to be at. Current highest selling games of the year...

    News Atlus Really Doesn't Want You to Know Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Coming to PS5

    I am aware, but I'm speaking more generally. When a thread is about game marketing, it's basically a sales thread. Because what is marketing about? Attempt to increase game sales. My feelings about franchises or brands have nothing to do on the matter. Unless it is a game in some series and...

    News Atlus Really Doesn't Want You to Know Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Coming to PS5

    These kind of deals must've been agreed and signed upon in that 2020-2022 range when MS was throwing money around like EGS did when they first started to moneyhat games for limited exclusivity on PC. I absolutely agree that not being to advertise your game properly on the main platform...

    Discussion Pushsquare: judging from our anecdotal observations, there are significantly more people playing (Concord) on PS5

    Estimates on SteamDB range between 7.5k-13k. Let's take the middle and say it sold 10k~ Let's say the game sold 80-90%~ on PS5 and the rest on PC. Total sales are in the 50k-60k range for 3 days + Early Access copies. Huge roaring success folks. Maybe the game will reach the impressive 500k...
