Yeah, when you read the article and watch the video it paints a very different picture.Like GS having problem with xbox versions (and moreso series S according to them).
They are not as sure as the short extract says.

Eurogamer is IGN-level of trash. They couldn't even corroborate the color of their own shit.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the bit of text is removed from the site with some excuse why it's not coming to Xbox anymore. I'm just prepared for it.
Might just wait until PS5 Pro is announced, a patch for it and then if the price is right get one and play it on that. In the meantime there's tons of other stuff to play. I'm over this nonsense.

That’s not the only slimy things they did. They advertised Destiny for free with the purchase of the console when they didn’t have marketing rights.

In this case it's not even eurogamer, it's DF specifically.
If anyone wanted confirmation that they are in the same bracket as Warren, Tassi, Strickland, Jez etc (in terms of being PR handlers on behalf of Microsoft), then here it is.

Well, the truth is that dev support can take many shapes and forms, and don't necessarily need to include exclusivity.

Xbox Game Port Delayed "Indefinitely" Due To Microsoft's Unresponsiveness, Dev Says
Another game skips Xbox at launch.

Who’s to say the Black Myth situation isn’t just Microsoft ignoring the dev team asking for assistance and now they’re trying to deflect and insinuate Sony is the problem?

It all starts to make sense when you see the "journalists" communicating like this:

Jez: "maybe they're working on figuring out the real reason it's not coming to xbox"
Says the guy who was just suggesting from ironclad sources he knows why it's not coming based on said companies claims of "not commenting on deals made by platform holders". You were just selling the idea that it's an exclusivity deal Jez. Now both MS and you don't know and are "working" to figure it out?

How many times does Microsoft have to drop hints that a deal was made? They now confirmed it's not a hardware issue. This is Sony and Xbox isn't getting this Monkey for at least 2 years.

Its likely never getting confirmed 100%. But we've seen Tassi, Jez, IGN, Digital Foundry and MS also hint at it now and still no updated comments from GS.
Of course everyone on this site will just insist its impossible, like they insisted Capcom wasnt having an issue porting MT Frame games.
Maybe one day we'll finally get confirmation. But if Sony is now involved I dont expect this game anytime soon.

For all we know they all have the same source.

Questioning the source and waiting for confirmation that a deal has been made... is not anyone on this site saying it is impossible. Most are simply questioning the fact that if there is one, why is Sony being quiet?
That is certainly a better position than someone who just "feels" that it is so.
And don't YOU have a PS5? does having to buy a game on it really bother you that much? lol... if game pass is the reason, there is no guarantee that it will come there.

"Dropping hints" is exactly the issue here, they should either put up or shut up. The cryptobros didn't come with the term "FUD", it was originally coined to describe Microsoft's corporate PR practices. That was over 20 years ago, but the same bullshit still continues from them.

Sony should make more of these deals. It's not like MS is going to stop porting games over...well I guess they could get another pub

Yeah so the game is not xbox not because of a deal then ?Because we can all agree that you don't have to figure why a game isn't on X platform if it is because of a deal...It is nice to know that even jez corden doesn't believe it is an exclusive.

They are working to come up with a new narrative.
Only if they could spend half the time actually focusing on their platform and helping devs ...

I think everybody is ignoring the most obvious question here:
Why isn't Microsoft allowed to say that Sony has a timed-exclusivity deal for Black Myth Wukong?
They have mentioned about Sony's exclusivity deals multiple times in the past. They did it in courts as well. Why can't they do it now?

They just want to say there is a deal without outright saying there is one. They know perfectly well that internet warriors will push this narrative and feed it to others for free. Until the very end, they are unable to take responsibility for problems resulting from a lack of understanding of what works and what does not work in entry-level hardware in the market space in which they operate..

You just know this source is just some clown with anime avatar in all of their discords.
You could probably put this to rest by searching for the common users in each discord and then narrowing it down to those who crave attention and then bam you have your "source".
These people are all getting shafted by one internet troll and to me that's hilarious.
The MS statement is dumb but that has always been MS pr, they are never going to openly admit their console is causing an issue, you have to have half a brain to think that.

If this is proven bullshit too, are you going back into hiding?

Just ask Sony and GS again to confirm the nature of it all. Its not hard.

You're behaving like a 6 year old kid who just asked his parents for more candy a minute ago and got told no. And decide to ask again 5 minutes later hoping the answer will change.

They've already said there was no exclusivity and after that repeated that it was for optimisations, why keeping answering?
Sony has all the benefits of not responding so far, and GS already answered twice...What more do people want?

Why would they at this point? This is putting more attention on the game, which is exactly what GS and Sony want. Besides, they're probably too busy figuring out how to get it to run on that piece of shit series s.

2 months ago, same statement. So they are say nothing new. Same Microsoft...same bullshit.

Hotly anticipated 'Black Myth: Wukong' is delayed on Xbox Series X|S — and now, Microsoft has responded
Black Myth: Wukong for Xbox Series X|S seems to be a myth of its own, at least for now.

Did GS answer after these comments came out?
You guys are literally doing the perfect example of believe or not believe rumours that we see so often nowadays, and no one asks the actual key people that would know. You've already made your decision and ran with it.
So, someone says something....You believe it.....Alternative reporting comes out that goes against the original messaging and you do not want to seek clarification from the actual people in the know.
Very 2024 of you.

I'm sorry but I don't take any of those sources seriously. Especially when the sources themselves are vague and clearly don't know what's going on. Why should I trust them when they have flip flopped already? They went from ironclad to maybe there is no deal real fast! Right now, I'll believe the developer until I have better reasons not to. Its as simple as that.

When you make an allegation it is you who has to prove it. There's no believing.
Moreover, there's no evidence to support the media claims, since they go against any common sense.
Let alone the fact that IGN, Eurogamer and their minions have been smearing GS for months. You can't ignore that unless you have chosen to believe their narrative, whatever that is, from secret deals to aliens.
If Jez's new claim of not knowing why it's exclusive and GS apparently haven't 'reported technical issues' to MS (they made a comment about optimisation but ok) then maybe that's why they're jumping to conclusions and assuming it's a deal? Just because they're getting ignored? GS is probably loving all the free publicity Jez, Paul and DF are giving them around this.Not a console issue but still" working with"
