Nothing to do with the exclusivity. If a game underperforms with availability on PS5 and PC then Xbox doesn't have a hope in hell of making it a success story either.

Alex From Digital Foundry calls Silent Hill 2 console exclusivity Pathetic. Gets exposed in comments.

And this console generation PCs are holding console games back. I mean have you seen the minimum specs for Wukong..........

Yes, that is exactly what W3 is, using my logic...lol
"My logic" wasn't that a game is defined by the lowest possible system it's ever ported to. I meant it's defined by the target hardware in mind when first designing it. If they knew they wanted a Switch version when they first made it, the game may have a different design. They may not have made a game that needed extreme cuts and arduous work to port to Switch. They would likely have been a little less ambitious and made a scalable game. Had it been made as a PC game without worrying about consoles -it may have been possible to downport to consoles but never Switch at all. It might have features baked-in to its design that are still possible with graphical cuts on console but never on Switch no matter what you do.
I can't imagine how much different TOTK would be if they knew from day one it would target Switch 2 specs instead with no Switch version. Completely different game. Just the processing requirements of physics stuff alone is huge and that's the tip of the iceberg.

Your logic is flawed because the game is not 1:1 the same in all platforms.

Or see Rise of the ronin and Stellar blade.
Other than Square who else has complained about exclusive deals?

Does PC for him mean Pathetic Cunt? If so, then yes he is a PC guy.

Makes no difference. The PC version being held back is still a PC game with all its advantages.

IMO nobody really realizes PCs are just running console games at mega settings because there are hardly any games that take advantage of possibilities on PC anyway. There are very few games designed in such a way that would be too hard to strip down for a console, such as destructible environments or physics, things you can't count on being fixed by lowering the slider. But that's kinda the point...maybe if they weren't worried about making console compatible games, we would get more of that.

He might be taking a shot at him but it's warranted in my view. Maybe you can't see the difference in reaction from Alex to exclusivity depending on who it is.
Silent Hill 2 remake being console exclusive:
Alex reaction: Silent Hill and PlayStation have such a storied history. I guess it is now a storied future. Remake exclusivity. Interesting!
Announcement of the possibility of Bethesda and Doom going xbox console exclusive.
Alex reaction: Pathetic.
Do you see how hypocritical of a take this would be if it were to happen the other way too? They work exactly the same.

I'm sorry I didn't give you the exact soundbite you were looking for.
You gave me the most generic response possible. And it was like pulling teeth to get you to say that much. You seem unable to call Microsoft out directly. Baffling really.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Not in those exact words, but Sega has repeatedly made public statements about expanding their big franchises as multi-platform games.
eg, from one of their press reports a couple of years back.
Ok.

Does he have that same energy for every Xbox game pass/timed exclusive deal? I doubt it.

The same Square-Enix that said full multiplatform games “didn’t meet expectations”. Hardly a barometer to use in a serious conversation about 3rd party exclusivity.
You think he refused to take "The Pledge"?

Sure but we also have statements from Rise of Ronin and Stellar blade devs doing very well with excluisivty. It's just going to depend on the game and the amount of money you put into it. I wont even get into Square's issues of constantly having issues with their sales.
Here's a thread in 2021 with people discussing Square never being satisfied with their sales.
Does Square Enix has realistic sales expectations for their games?
If we look Square Enix output and their comments past few years basically only Eastern developed games meet their expectations. From Deus Ex MD, over Tomb Raider to Avengers and now NEO The World Ends nothing meets their expectations. And those games are not bad, certainly not worse than some...

Sorry. I guess he hasn't been paying attention for the last 40 years of games consoles whom all have had exclusives. I guess because Xbox doesn't have them anymore so Sony is a big meanie for not sharing and making deals. All phill ever has to do is write a bigger check than Sony. He simply refuses. He'd rather buy the whole studio. That's cool though? What a fucking twat.

Oh so now it's paid exclusivity? We know the goalpost will just move again if that stops. "Why should it be exclusive even if they own the studio and made the IP in-house? It's not fair people who chose other platforms knowing what they'd be missing out on, chose those other platforms. It's anti-consumerism!!"
Same song and dance, same old talking points fed by a cult leader who happens to be the CEO of a gaming division that spent $80 billion into becoming a 3P. Just so tiring.

I don't think its pathetic. It'll come to other platforms eventually. Sony are probably paying well for it and they're giving Konami a tonne of support. I'm sure they'll make a lot of money.
