STALKER 2 has gone GOLD

you got to learn to read between the lines. If it was just simple sending devs to speed up development then they would of said that. Even larian said that Microsoft was sending devs to help with the series s port for baldur gate 3. Its obviously more then that. They said they helped out in ways in which they didnt have to. The PR manager declined to speak more on that. So you know it was substantial. Also i said they help fund the game, not fully funded it. Big difference. I mean yeah, they didnt come out and say yeah Microsoft help fund the game, but if you basic comprehension, you can see they clearly helped make this game come to life. But since its not outright stated, you can disagree.

Gamepass money helps fund it.

You just told us that m$ funded the game, shared the article, which didn't say that and it doesn't at all support your claim, now, you walking it back.

Yeah, we read between the lines, it sounds as extra help to port a game to Series S, and yes, they don't want you to know that, the same way m$ didn't want you to know that for years.

And yes, m$ doesn't have to send their devs to help with tragical Series S port, apparently they did and that's what they are talking about.

There's enough evidence to support my claims. Im not walking it back? Did you not read what I said? I believe they helped funded it. And no, it sounds way more then just series s help. The Game would totally be different or canceled without Microsoft. Let's agree to disagree champ

they gave them extra help when they didnt need to. Money or resources. or both. Like i said they helped fund the game.

No evidence for saying money, that's just something you have asserted based off an assumption.

But for me, there is more then enough evidence for me to believe that without Microsoft, this game probably looks much different or doesn't come out at all.

This is nonsense, every marketing deal than could be stretched to say that, like Playstation funded Call of Duty, without it, it would never have happened, GTA 5 too etc etc..
Clearly gamepass deal helped devs, no doubt but that could be said about all games which where marketed by 3rd party.

For example, we have devs which states about contribution of Playstation like they where funding Stellar Blade but also Playstation devs worked to develop the game, we 100% know that Stellar Blade never have been such game without Playstation because we have all the info coming from devs.

Stalker devs just obfuscating about getting real answer, and if you got funded, there is 0 reasons to do that, 0, especially from M$ perspective who just love PR.
