Oh, I’m with you, but apparently there’s always bad press when it’s MS doing it so…we’ll see.
All this multi-plat talk makes me wonder are they really hiring this position for Indiana Jones or something else 
The way I see it, Xbox will always have bad press, until it becomes the leader.
Trying to be the nice guy while your competition actively works against you by moneyhatting big games, being reactive will never suffice.
They said they’re all in, they can’t be all in by letting big moneyhats still happen at this point in time, they absolutely have means to fight against it, might not be pretty, but should be done.

With Tomb Raider they literally faltered under media pressure, I remember Keighley demanding to know when the PS port would release, lmaooo. That weaknees has never been mended.

As a costumer that plans to invest in their ecosystem, letting me having doubts about the 3rd party support ( games releasing day and date or releasing at all on the platform) or if future first-party games are going to be exclusive, is a really bad look for the brand.
They need to push confidence that Xbox won’t be a neglected platform by 3rd party devs.

He’s right, also don’t “worry” about a game that’s years away possibly being exclusive or not. Unless you’re a massive shareholder? Even then, just enjoy Microsoft making you a ton of money. Otherwise, you get it on game pass day one and this forum isn’t the “bitch about console list wars” place.

People who want to turn this thread/forum into concern troll about list warz city, don’t.

No one is concern trolling here, I always commend and praise the great lineup from Xbox going forward, doesn’t mean I don’t see it’s shortcomings too.
If we’re not allowed to have worries and talk about them when an insider says some stuff we believed was already settled, then you guys are being heavy handed on the moderation part.
If some of you can’t bear to see the shortcomings of the brand don’t partake in it, simple.
The brand has done a lot of good, a lot more to do still.

Wish media pressed companies like Square Enix and Atlus on their decisions. That’s what a media that was not worried about biting the hand that feeds them would be doing.

If “Indus” is going to be on Xbox consoles…
Then I want to see it now.
I love me 4X games.

Yeah love’em too.
Wonder if they’re making it about the Rise of Legends universe would be great.

Unless I’m mistaken with Kalypso’s output, I think Civ Rev, Civ 6 and the Paradox games are the only console based 4X games.

Ngnl this project skyrocketed up my hype list the more I read about it.

I don’t think it would be too hard to make a console 4x due to the turn based element.
Now the combat is another thing, if they decide to make it in real time and bigger, it could be challenging to do, but hopefully turns out great.
It’s concern trolling. We’re so many months deep into people desperately worrying about things like “is the Indiana Jones game EXCLUSIVE” that they don’t seem to realize that exclusive or not they get it day one in game pass. What is there to worry about with the “brand”, what “shortcomings” do you actually have with this topic?

I’m sorry, but it really isn’t and if you don’t agree with us, that’s perfectly fine, just don’t use you mod powers to push your views.
It’s a really bad look for the forum.

Wasn’t Rise of Legends one of Phil’s favorite games?
