No offense but you've read PR before, right? Why are you surprised or bothered by wordy, fluffy PR? That's how these work. Outlet asks Microsoft for a statement regarding something, Microsoft sends back a PR response that paints them in the best light possible and answers their question. There is no mess, there is no room for confusion. Unless you're looking for it. Again, just look at your first post here. Does it really matter what MS would have said? You weren't going to read it, whatever it was wasn't going to be good enough.

Oh please, bestow upon us what this "true message" is lol. Should be hilarious.
Also, I never said or implied that Microsoft doesn't spin things. They're a business, they have PR, they spin things. Just like every publisher, just like Sony, just like Nintendo. Of course, the difference is I would expect an employee of any of these companies to spin and use fluff in PR. They're literally getting paid for it. What I don't get is any time there's MS talk the threads are full of people who don't use Xbox spinning and applying their own PR to Microsoft's PR. I don't really ever even click on comparable Nintendo or Sony threads because I'm just not interested, but when I do, I certainly don't see posters who prefer Xbox or Nintendo doing the same thing. So yeah, I'll call that nonsense out, because it is in fact utter nonsense. Hope that helps.
