No they don't. I can pull up several games with MS marketing that only mention releasing on the Xbox (look at their deals with EA). MS also had a week exclusive on a press release for Persona V, so get outta here with that "gives devs more room to move" bullshyt.No. The decision to sign with sony or microsoft would have happened early on. They have to know how they are gonna monetize their game.
The Callisto Protocol is latest title supported by PlayStation Studios
Thanks to the closing credits of The Callisto Protocol, we know that the game received support from Sony in the form of 150 employees from various PlayStation Studios, something that is becoming a more regular occurrence.www.truetrophies.com
They were working with sony from very early on.
“It didn’t make sense” for their game because they had a path to a $70 launch with sony.
They did have marketing for the game. Their marketing deals tend to be a bit less shrewd. Devs are still allowed to acknowledge other platform. Sony deals are notoriously restrictive. Devs are forced to pretend their game doesn’t even exist on other platforms. For example Microsoft basically had to shadow drop their own game, deathloop, cause the sony deal made it so they weren’t even allowed to talk about their own game. Microsoft’s marketing deals don’t quite work like that.
I thought you were just joking on here, but you really are a true believe. You'll twist anything to make them look good. You're wrong about Plague Tale just like you are about Callisto Protocol.
And Deathloop wasn't their game at the time.
Persona was already out on other platforms.No they don't. I can pull up several games with MS marketing that only mention releasing on the Xbox (look at their deals with EA). MS also had a week exclusive on a press release for Persona V, so get outta here with that "gives devs more room to move" bullshyt.

Any EA game with xbox marketing also has commercials and ads for other platforms. And they don’t do exclusive content or dlc.
Deahtloop was owned by microsoft when it came out on playstation. The xbox version was not even spoken of until the day of release cause that’s what sony’s marketing deal required.

Just straight lying.
Xbox Details Marketing Partnership With Battlefield 2042
Xbox Series X/S were recently announced as the
Electronic Arts (EA) TV Spot, 'Battlefield 2042'
A gamer's play session on his Xbox is interrupted after noticing the futuristic city outside his window has become the ultimate battlefield. As other players pull off death-defying stunts such as jumping out of an exploding car, being crushed by a tank, and even surviving a helicopter running...
The Deathloop deal was signed *before* MS acquired them. And it was a full TIMED-EXCLUSIVE deal, not just a marketing deal. Stop trying to conflate the two to push your agenda. It's no different from what MS is doing with Stalker 2.
Edit: They also did it with an online mode for Tetris Effect.

Why are you like this? You know we're talking about commercials. As in television ads. It's why I posted iSpot tv.
You can find Call of Duty videos on MS' YouTube channel too, but the commercials are only going to focus on the holders console. Same with Battlefield.

1st party games being 70 on a system and platform that allows you to get them for as low as 9.99 a month is a non issue.
Point blank period.
It's not a spin, or goal post shift.
There is no other platform that offers such a thing remotely close.
You only want to play starfield? Cool, pay 9 bucks finish it a month and then cancel gamepass.
You want to own startfield, then it'll cost you 70.
The only people that should have a problem with this are people that still purchase MS 1st party physical games.
Sony stans shouldn't have any problem with paying 70 for games, you have been for almost 2 years now.

What i’m saying is Sonys deals are more restrictive. Publishers and platform holders are restricted from advertising period.
It’s why we got stuff like this.
