XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

Stuff like this makes me wonder if like, Ryan McCaffrey and Miranda Sanchez get heckled at work. Like if IGN is willing to go full console warrior on Twitter, what is it like there behind closed doors?

At this point you’d think Xbox must have hurt a family member of IGN or something. It’s just ridiculous now.

The worst part is that you’ll still see people in the media and Twidiots claiming there is no bias, despite blatantly obvious console warring garbage like this. Collective gaslighting is most certainly a thing, and I’ve yet to see anyone “prove” the counterpoints to any of the examples/articles I and others have provided.

Tbh I can’t think of any JP dev but Square who is still doing the “we only target PS” thing. Not even out of the niche devs (but even some of those were slow to get out of that phase, like Nihon Falcom and Compile Heart just transitioning from PS only → PS/Switch development -this- year)

I am interested to see the game plan for tackling the swaths of JP devs who are -only- skipping Xbox (Switch/PS/PC games)

Anyone got their popcorn ready for replies. Thought one was neutral, but guess I was wrong. The more you know.

ZERO mention of how Disney, Marvel, and Sony came about with Spider-Man & Wolverine exclusivity.

Something that would be massively relevant to this article.

The tone and wording of their f***ing tweets… yikes.

I mean… with all the exclusives that have underperformed on PS5 (and plenty on PS4 following the same model), it’s a classic case of “No Shit Sherlock” to me….

That said, I’m happy to see so many in the region advocating for Xbox, especially since the “Skip Xbox” plan hasn’t been working out well.

That would require a bias not to exist. Yet again, if this were an isolated issue, it wouldn’t be a thing but we all know this proves a pattern that they’ve done nothing to dissuade people from seeing.

The simple ask I have for people that want to continue gaslighting us is this: where are the same articles condemning Sony for making Spidey exclusive? What about the “Here’s how to cancel PSNow”? Or the thousand of articles which easily prove a clear anti-Xbox/pro-Sony bias?

The burden of proof lies on those who want to pretend the earth isn’t round, and this is no different. You don’t even have to analyze the language anymore for god’s sake, these corrupt sycophants just play it out directly in the headlines, in their miserable podcasts, and on their personal socials.

Not to be smarky but I would prefer a publisher need platform than vice versa. It’s business speaking though. Plus, it’s not good when a platform needs a publisher. It’s like a wrestler needs a company. Vice versa would mean you’re doing poorly.
