Just leaving this here...

July 2013... in a time where indy devs and MS couldn't agree on many things... while today we have new politics about indy devs but yeah, let's pretend noone can change their mind... remember though, business is business.

This was their base statement which was recently reitterated. Psyonix is a very small studio with a shit ton to do. Changing their mind on a whim is not an option. They're not Microsoft.

Releasing on Xbox is not just a technical or financial issue. The big one is political and the possible fracturing of the playerbase. Worst case Scenario is that Xbox players will only be able to play with X1 owners or with players on Steam. That's not increasing the playerbase, that's just burdening yourself with just another institution. They already have trouble to connect Steam to PSN to allow cross platform parties.

If they actually do have an announcement this year to port on X1 I will accuse them of misappropriating their time and funds.
