think it's a talking point that someone speaks positively about the company that pays their bills, brehs

Sad to see her betray us

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

The fact that she’s now at Xbox makes this whole thread pointless. Of course. She’s going to say that

Thread should be closed on this alone, “Former Celtics basketball player who joined San Antonio spurs says Spurs are the best team in NBA and better than Celtics”.

Sounds like a steal. Glad to have her at Xbox. Please find a dev for Lost Odyssey 2.

The industry needs Xbox to grow. Still doesn't change the fact that Xbox has to put out a compelling product that attracts more customers and the reality of the numbers says that's not happening.

Games cost lots of money these days.

Anyone making games needs to reach for the largest customer base possible.

Most Japanese devs have embraced that idea. Some are behind. Even square has acknowledged that reality.

3rd party exclusives are pretty much done at this point.
