More people in this thread dislike Jez than like him, Lol.

And he already confirmed this is "informed speculation" in a random tweet reply.

Nobody knows what Xbox's full plans are right now and I wish we would stop crystal balling a future years away, Jez often goes on these drunken rambles and has flip flopped multiple times on this issue, he has no consistency. First he started off dooming on Twitter, rocking back and forth in the corner like like a man who had just pissed and shit himself then a week later he was all like "Lul. You're all overreacting, Xbox's multiplatform strategy ain't that bad" which was some nerve after the way he reacted the week before without the full information.

Only a few weeks ago he was saying there's no plans to port *insert exclusive* to PlayStation. This is partly the reason people start to dislike Jez, he has no level of self control and often spirals on Twitter, Xbox fans take every word he says as gospel and he doesn't make explicitly clear what is a strong leak and what is speculation, he knows people take his word as gospel, he knows he has a certain credibility as a journalist tuned into Xbox, he knows because he has straight up said he knows before but he doesn't care about his reputation.

I would love a Xbox device which could sideload Steam but Jez is being Jez again so I'm ignoring this.

I do think MS is going full multiplat but I do agree with you about Jez. He's all over the place with what he says. I think the issue is his own sources are being left in the dark to some degree. This was further confirmed to me when I read the hoops that rare jumped through in order to keep the Sea of thieves port a secret. 

As far as their hardware I have no idea what Xbox will do. At this point anything is possible.

I believe that more multiplatform stuff will be coming but yeah, Jez is doing my head in lately, especially when he lost his mind at the original rumours then accused others of overreacting, it was a bit of a "Wtf are you serious?" moment, Lmao. I do believe like you said as well, I think this stuff is all over the place and nobody really knows what the full plans are except from Phil and people in his circle.

But that's my opinion and if I was in Jez's position I wouldn't be responding to people on Twitter like "Everything is coming! Full multiplatform!" because I'd recognise the position I am in and that my words have influence and meaning because people treat me as credible so I would have to be more careful about how I word things, Jez does not care about that stuff though and it results in many situations like this one.

Frustrating because he is one of the better Xbox insiders in terms of what he knows.
