You should know better than anyone that Just because someone has won your heart doesn't mean you won't fuck someone else (in your case, everyone else). MS seems positioned to cheese off a lot of devs if they don't start becoming more developer friendly in a hurry, but they're also well positioned to rectify that with the old checkbook if necessary.

Microsoft is really losing touch with developers. Listen to what this guy is saying. He basically said he doesn't like the approach that Microsoft is taking. He also makes it very clear that Microsoft has communication issues with developers.

This isn't new news of course. We've been hearing for quite some time from several developers that they didn't like Microsoft's working conditions.

Microsoft has to win some support with their reveal (whenever it is) as to not let Sony runaway with a huge advantage. Sony is already winning the hearts of developers.

He didn't say Microsoft has poor communication with deveopers. He said HIS company didn't have good communication with Microsoft.

Do you want to know what this is?

This guy wanted his game to be multiplatform. Microsoft didn't return a phone call and Sony did. So now in his eyes Sony is amazing. That is how this always works with developers. I am sure Sony missed the boat on some things Microsoft got for Arcade as well.

GDDR5 = Cell

I mean this in terms of fans using this as a crutch in bragging comparisons. Sigh. This is gonna get old.....just like in 2006.

At least people used Cell from DBZ to soften the blow.....this term sounds too technical to make fun of it.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Not really? MS is huge and cares very little about their video game division as long as it profits. Made apparent by no price cut in forever.

Pretty much this (with respect to some devs). Sony seems to be reaching out to devs of all shapes and sizes.
