I still think Xbox shares some blame in this train wreck.
Sony was just being Sony when they grabbed this exclusivity on the cheap because they knew it would hurt the Xbox brand and cause excitement for PlayStation. Sony made small commitments and gained positive attention from the announcement, much like Shenmue 3 (“E3 of Dreams”).
Xbox lacked the vision to create this game on its own. Not through Aspyr, but even before that. Xbox should’ve locked Kotor rights down from Disney. It’s not like it was an unthinkable prospect. I proposed they should do it before PlayStation ever did.
