Well, you're not exactly wrong, but saying they're 'screwing you over' because you can't afford to play games a few days early is both ridiculous and conceited. If you think this somehow ranks high in problems with the industry your perspective is way out of whack.

Xbox-only owners have been screwed out of playing some of the biggest Japanese games for several years now, just because it's quietly become acceptable for Sony to continually moneyhat after gaining some market dominance, and you had the audacity to come into this thread and make a fuss over this??

Edit: I should clarify Asian* games, as Stellar Blade and Black Myth are Korean and Chinese respectively.

Can't argue with that. Though the question is would the JRPGs sell on Xbox these days? Xbox made a big push into the japanese market where most of these games come from and were rejected unfortunately. My question is would the western audience on Xbox buy the games?

You can't have frequented this thread much because this has been discussed ad nauseam, but outside the fact that everyone in this thread plays Japanese games regularly, the general picture is that they wouldn't bother porting these games if they didn't think they would get any sales. But a precedent has been set for them to expect either an exclusivity deal from PS or a gamepass deal from Xbox, so they keep holding out for the easy money.

And how has that deal worked out for Square Enix who's recent big Final Fantasy releases have failed to meet sales expectations while they delayed the PC release and continue to be coy about any Xbox release?
