Jebus, I thought Microsoft wanted us to come together in one big loving cross-play family? I'm confused by their motives now.

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
PUBG's Xbox "exclusivity" is just as confusing as it was for ROTTB.

Lmao....right, it was never business driven. At least Sony didnt take the bait.
I don't see how anyone can simultaneously believe that Capcom didn't have enough money to make a sequel to one of the most iconic and recognizable franchises in gaming history, but somehow an indie success like Bluehole didn't need Microsoft's cash infusion. It's clearly bullshit in both cases.
Capcom didn't need Sony to make SFV......Bluehole doesn't need Microsoft to do a port of a game that's already mostly complete.

More like 'can we cockblock our competitor's customers'?

See capcom and sf. Or some indies , MS paying for the port, when the team is 100% focusec on getting the pc version out.
Where do you get that from?
Bluehole is barely managing to keep the PC version on track.
They don't have the time or resources to develop the game for a platform they've never touched. But hey whatever fits your narrative.

Its not me who's putting the spin out there. I mean, you're the one who brought up Bluehole and their lack of resources. Lmao, you say it like their game hasn't been a huge financial success.
Just admit it, Microsoft is cockblocking.

Those threads aren't made of the premise of Sony and their Crash exclusivity being confusing, so you're wrong. I MADE one of those threads. The premise of them are for new news, new thread, and X retailer or Y website shows Xbox version or some other. And that in fact proves his point; so much back and forth and backtracking mixed with silence and this and that, so many threads, yet there are no threads made with the premise of calling out Sony and their bullshit regarding it. Instead these very threads are filled with posters saying it should be exclusive because Crash is synonymous with PlayStation, that people are port begging just because they know it isn't going to be exclusive and want to know when it will be available for them, and defending Sony saying they shouldn't have to talk about the nature of their timed deal because of business reasons (but in this thread, the exact, very opposite, especially from you).

This is a silly comment. There's no way to know how long it will be exclusive. Could be 3 months, 6 months, or a year. Let's see. My money is on 6 months.
Are you fucking kidding me? I directly responded to you hours ago!

wow, for somebody who's pretty much always whining about Sony 'fanboys' and tag-teaming in with that Jeff Freecs character, you sure are the fucking worst kind of fanboy, seeing bias everywhere when you're as bad as The Last Word.
So make the thread then, those thread have all pretty much went the same way this has, some people trying to justify it, most being annoyed and wanting to know how long it'll be exclusive for.
Man, we found a new salt mine today. Hope everybody's keeping an eye on their blood pressure.
Building content for a game (skins/missions/etc) and then disabling it from one version is not the same as building an entire port for a given platform and not the other (yet). Is the expectation really that every time a platform owner approaches a popular PC game to port it they need to make sure other platforms are getting it as well?
People are being deliberately obtuse and trying to make it some moral thing when it's not. Somehow I don't think we'll see the same hand-wringing the next time a developer says they want to focus on one platform (as long as it's their platform of choice).
Sony is doing that themself with no Game Preview program. Xbox has it. PUBG on console needs it. Bam exclusive for that period.

Who the hell is this Jeff character you're talking about? Instead of posting a bottled up, salty reply you kept inside for who knows since when, and projecting your bias with such a laughable post, you should tone down and realize you're comparing me to a guy who I see get called out tons of times a day, from mods, to even people he quotes and agrees with. You're seriously comparing me to him which anyone will shut you down about, simply because you have a bone to pick with me? Get real. I've never been called out by anyone except the person I'm shutting down at the moment.
My post that you quoted was a perfectly acceptable response. There was nothing fanboyish about it, and it's pretty obvious why it made you so enraged.

I think so. But TR was supposed to come out for PS4 before the exclusivity; it seems PUBG is releasing first due to early access and MS helping them optimize and port. Expect a PS4 version next year sometime.
You mean like RE7VR?

The higher up force him to do what he don't like, it happen all the time.
From the other thread.
Doesn't sound liked the situation as changed at all from E3, outside of MS stepping in to speed it along.

Sorry, I guess I missed your first post.
Notice how none of those thread titles are upset about Sony not being forthright about it? They're just reporting basically the latest bits discovered, but there is no thread of outrage calling Sony to task for being so confusing or misleading like there is whenever it goes the other way.
So you are basing that there is no anger towards the ambiguity of the Crash 'exclusivity' on thread titles alone?
Cool beans.
Yep, be fantastic if they haven't slapped on any extra exclusivity, which they'd have every right to. MS would deserve major props even.

You're the one projecting a mood onto the headlines. Just read them with a non-upset tone or a sarcastic tone. It does make reading forums a whole lot easier if you don't imagine everyone else is really upset.
and those resources are being put into the PC version that sells a million more copies each month thus putting a strain on the servers and increases the pool of testing and bugs they have to do?

I think they'll just be happy to be associated with it for the six months or whatever.
I presume Microsoft are going to deal with the advertising side of things. Is PUBG even advertised at the moment?

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Receipts? Or just tales from my ass?
