Phil Spencer on Giant Bomb: “Five years ago, you’d ask when you could see an Atlus game on Xbox. We got Capcom showing a new IP. I see all that and I can go to Square-Enix and say ‘C’mon,’ and I have to get on a plane again.”

Recently I responded to someone saying Game Pass caused an issue of Japanese developers skipping the platform unless they get a Game Pass cheque. Even Atlus is releasing titles on Xbox now, day one, without a Game Pass cheque, fucking Atlus!
I understand Phil's frustration with Square Enix, cause c'mon man, Lmao. Clearly it's mostly Square who is the one waiting for a Game Pass cheque whilst many other Japanese developers are actually trying.
SMT will be next I think and I'd be surprised if Persona 6 was exclusive now.
Disappointed in no Jet Set Radio reveal but I'm sure it's coming in time, probably just needs a little longer to cook.
