First, the tweets are from last December, so in that context, it might not have been especially controversial in the first place. Second, it seems like a fairly subjective tweet (because of "doesn't feel") in a thread not visible to his followers by default, so I don't see this as failed PR + damage control anyway. It's an accurate statement, and it's not misleading either. Of course you're free to interpret the motives otherwise.

"I don’t know what deals get written. I’ve been pretty open about, I’m not a fan of doing deals that hold back specific pieces of content from other platforms. You don’t see that in the deals we’ve done with Assassin’s and Shadow. We’ll have a marketing deal on those, but I don’t say, hey, I need some kind of Strike or skin somebody else can’t play.
I don’t think it’s good for our industry if we got into a point where people are holding back the technical innovation of game developers based on a marketing deal. I don’t know anything about what’s in other people’s deals.

I dont have to interpret his motives. Its pretty obvious if he keeps repeating them.

Uh, to me, this is similar to his 'damage control', so this basically backs up what I said about him personally not liking these things? If your point is still that he should have said so directly in the first place, I must disagree with you. Not everything needs to be spelled out, and in my opinion, this is definitely one of those things that doesn't need to be.
