could be. but insiders saying it would be announced early 2024 were wrong. insiders saying it would be announced with the DLC were wrong. and (coli) insiders saying it would be announced before the end of 2024 were wrong

Doesn’t matter, yall are just splitting hairs now

i'm not thinking about bozo insiders.

Were the dates/timing off, okay.


But they weren't wrong in saying the games are coming.

At the time he made the post you quoted the cac tweets specifically called starfield an imminent release.

The very first post of that thread said an acclaimed title is going multiplatform this year.

Literally NO one in the thread posted anything about Starfield being an imminent release. You can search through the thread, this is literally something you just made up.

They said microsoft would drop the xbox branding.
NO ONE ever said that :smh: You guys are fukking pathetic liars. You can search through that thread and this one

The word "branding" was used to say the brand is becoming dead/weak, nothing about Microsoft to drop the branding.
It's quite hilarious how y'all still hanging onto the most tenuous threads of stannery for Xbox. The shyt is done, just drop it lol.


They said gamepass would be canceled
Now you know you fukking lying, rumors were talking about Xbox trying to put Gamepass on Nintendo or even Playstation now you claiming people said it would be cancelled :pachaha: What a fukking lie.
Amongst a whole bunch of other unsubstantiated shyt.

Hence Dayz post saying the cac tweets were “spinning in circles”
No @daze23 was just referring to nothing specific being mentioned when the rumors came about because no one knew what game would be coming to other platforms.
Starfield maybe getting announced at some random point in the future does not validate all the random wild rumors you and the cac tweets were talking about at the time.
Again, nobody was talking about starfield. Starfield being talked about in terms of it getting a PS5 port was literally something people have been speculating ever since rumors came out, none of the rumors talked about above were bullshyt. An acclaimed Xbox exclusive came to other platforms(Hi-Fi Rush).

All the noise came about when rumors mentioned 4 games are coming to Playstation and people were like w/e they're going to put everything and once again who do you know came to defense for no reason trying to mock people saying that Microsoft is officially moving away from console exclusivity. Forza Horizon, Indiana Jones, Hellblade 2 and Gears of fukking War if you can count are way past "only 4 games." You guys really believed that's what was happening. People didn't know what games were coming but that 4 was coming and nobody was quoting no "cac tweet" about imminent releases.

This is another case of you stans playing stupid for daps. :smh:
No, you and that fakkit are always playing dumb in threads trying to gaslight dudes on some "I'm an internet scholar!" laughing at morons believing cacs on Twitter. You gonna get pregnant dikriding him so much.:smh:

His post was in the context of “insiders” pretty much saying any and everything at that point. Wasn’t just about that OP.

people in that thread, including yourself expected the game to be starfield cause so many insiders had called the game out at that point.

Their story kept changing hence dayz saying they were “spinning”

What was the 2024 game the OP was referring to. after all??

Yes plenty of you were talking about Starfield in that thread. You know the search function works right :usure:

“An xbox game is coming to playstion” is vague enough to never actually be confirmed and inevitable enough to be “true” if you want it to be.

Thats like me saying “i have information a high acclaim playstation game is coming to PC this year”

and dudes running through the streets calling me an “insider”

Stopi

Nobody believed that
I don’t think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform. We’re focused on these four games and learning from the experience.

From jump Phil said they were testing it out and would bring more games if it made sense after that first 4.

What’s funny is, this quote spawned another huge thread of you goofies pretending to be surprised that more games might come.

Now when each game comes yall act surprised again as if dude aint say from jump more games would be coming.

You stans live to bully on strawmen.

You made both sides of the argument and are still arguing with your damn self about it :smh:

Why do you pretend this website doesn’t have a search function :mjlol:

No, we saw the leaked emails
What happened was Satya had enough and put an end to the bullshyt
People here don't realize that Satya ain't Steve Ballmer who gave a fukk about the Xbox division. Satya cares about everything else, but Xbox and Windows Phone with the latter he regrets giving up on.

Both things can be true:

M$ is finding a way to be successful

AND

They stumbled upon this path because they couldn't beat Sony or Nintendo in the console wars.

Let's not kid ourselves. They wanted to push the most console units...and that was their original goal. They DID NOT switch up just because. They changed course because they were losing badly.

However, they got enough money and smart people to redirect and find a lane that works for them.
