It's probably a better demographic to chase than xbox's player base
Don't feel bad. If you're interested in the game, get it at whatever you feel comfortable buying it at. We aren't trying to score points here.
I have your game pre-ordered on the Windows 10 store (had some Microsoft store credit and would like to take advantage of Play Anywhere) will I be able to play co-op with friends who buy the Steam version?

There's no online co-op on any version, sorry
One has ten times the install base of the other, breh.

For the amount of work and sacrifice, not really. There's a good documentary about it.
But doesnt guarantee that the game would sale more than the original released platform install base count.
If a game was released on another platform, but sold the same amount of copies as the Xbox, then what?

He's responding to the guy who suggested the switch demographic would be a better target for this game than the Xbox one demographic...
The Xbox one installed base is much larger than the switches (atm), and he hasn't clarified the characteristics that would make Switch players a better target.
Wow I thought this was a MS exclusive ...
Or the first Titanfall
I think it was also meant as the Xbox install base would not like this type of game.
I guess we all are really dudebros that play nothing but FPS's.
MS published maybe?

I mean which is it?
People complain that MS doesn't retain exclusives and that they should have more.
Thread about an MS exclusive turns into an "It should be on PS4/Switch" also if they want it to sell.
I dont understand why people make it seem like if a game is exclusive to Xbox and not released on other platforms, then the game will be a failure.
So their sacrifices will pay off then?Its not exclusive to Xbox, its coming to Mac and pc. That will make sure that the game will sell enough.
Damn, I hope these sacrifices will pay itself back, knowing the fickle crowd of the Xbox ...
can you name your game? I can't remember any indie game being shat on by community X and not by community Y.* Where the situations fully equal? Did all versions receive the same content, etc?I can't speak for Joe and I can only speak anecdotally from my own experience and from a few other devs, most of our games are not received well on Xbox.
When we announced one of our games the chatter was night/day between Xbox and PS boards which led me (and a few other devs) to rethink putting in work for an XO version.
Kind of a kick in the gut when you were vehemently voicing your concern about multiplatform development for a long time, to seeing changes come about and then being able to announce after having gotten somewhere with your concerns only to have the community, by overwhelming majority, shit on your work while the other side takes to your game in the extreme opposite.
You sit and think "why the fuck am I putting in time if this is how it is received by this party?"
I have had some long talks with other devs about just that question weighing the pros and cons of that platform being indie.
Again, anecdotal, but I'm not the only one.

Horizon Zero Dawn would also sell more units if it was on more consoles.Microsoft would sell more consoles if they had more exclusives
Cuphead would sell more units if it was on more consoles.
Not to be a dick but is everyone just excited about this game because of the visuals?

Crash Bandicoot remaster/remake/rewhatever would also sell more units if it was on more consoles.
Mario would also sell more units if it was on more consoles.
Etc.

How? It's been a standout at shows and the Xbox E3 for years now, which is already more exposure than the vast majority of indies get. If it reviews decently it'll do fine.
One of the most visually fantastic, unique and interesting indie games we've ever seen and just because its a console exclusive on Xbox, this thread is plagued with shit... Even though its on Steam.
I'm growing very tired of this forum. You all are pathetic.
To the ones who're just as interested as I am for this title, I think this will be fantastic
Best of luck to the devs, I know itll pay off for them.
The thread title focuses on the financial risks they took, so it's not pathetic when people question whether going Xbox-console exclusive will yield the best results for the team, given that we know that more quirky titles don't necessarily fare the best on the Xbox platform.
Sure. Cause Sony really care for indies don't they considering they wouldn't even show it at E3 even in a short video.The thread title focuses on the financial risks they took, so it's not pathetic when people question whether going Xbox-console exclusive will yield the best results for the team, given that we know that more quirky titles don't necessarily fare the best on the Xbox platform.

Indies and the early access platform has been success after success, so get outa here with your console warrior shit.
This isn't a fucking wii u, it's a console with over 30 million units sold. The game will do fine
