HAAK Xbox port abandoned after devs have been stuck for 14 months in trying to publish the game, even though port finished in two weeks
- Thread starter Fenton
- Start date
Microsoft would only step in to help if the team agreed to put the game on GP. They don't care enough for their consoles, and they know these kinda games don't sell on their platform.
The devs probably have no idea, they say their real issue is with the whole process and aren't able to get any answers.
Considering they're probably trying to self-publish and they're from China, I'm sure there's some regional/language issues going on as well because 14 months is a long time to be stuck trying to get support.
Considering my experiences with Microsoft customer support over the years, I can't say I'm surprised there's a couple horror stories.
Nothing sells on xbox. Because of gamepass.
Xbox Series S and Phil Spencer are xbox worst enemies.
They are small so Xbox don’t care to even give a comment.
PlayStation must be jamming communications. It's always Sony's fault. Always.
My sauces in gaming tells this reporter that Microsoft believes that even though it does not have any Capcom connection, this game must run on the MT Framework and will need to discuss with the developers on how to port this. Why else would the game not come to Xbox?
The bigger issue is the impression to developers that Xbox doesn't respect them. If devs see this and there is a delay in Xbox's response to their emails, they too might nope out of porting to Xbox.
This should never have happened. There is no major issue that couldn't have been fixed by Xbox quickly. Instead another ball was dropped and it appears that there are no consequences for being a fuck up in that company. This cannot be the first time a similar event happened.
I mean the Xbox console is done so no big deal really, they're actually saving these indie devs a lot of heartache and financial loss. Imagine these guys get a port done and 1 month later Xbox announces it's shutting down console manufacturing. Imagine getting burned on years of work like that lmao
