Could be. Or could be the same issues Larian is facing. I doubt we will ever know for certain.

put the games on x on day 1 and then on s later but phil will not let them do that

I think a simultaneous release with the XSS missing some features would be the best way to do this.

I wonder how much they risk a lawsuit though given that missing features would conflict with their advertising of XSS.

Depends on how much they care about paying the fines. They certainly can afford them.

I'm thinking more of a class action lawsuit.
what i wonder is there are already games that miss rt and/or performance modes on series s compared to x
are those not counted as game features?
wonder how parity is defined

Yeah, there are definitely graphical differences including lack of RT so I think graphical modes are not enforced on XSS, but actual gameplay features are. That's just me guessing though.

I think it's less about lawsuits and more about their consumer base losing faith in the Xbox brand in general if they allowed that.

Yep, that is why I always said that Series S would only work in a world where Xbox was the market leader

Maybe that's what they thought would happen.

I'm pretty sure those super strict ones from the 360 era were actually for XBLA.
And that's because MS was actually publishing games for indies to XBLA. So if you wanted them to handle your XBLA publishing, you couldn't release on PSN first.
I don't think they ever had that kind of power outside of XBLA.
But XBLA is one thing that gets lost on people as something MS really innovated. It wasn't just "horse armor DLC" they paved the way for, XBLA really is what blew up the indie dev industry.

I disagree with the wording of the thread title.
Calling it an "accidental PS exclusive" is a misnomer. There's nothing accidental about the XSS. MS made a very deliberate decision to shoot themselves and the gen in the foot with that albatross.

The shills are finally accepting the truth, I see.

So the Bat signal has finally gone out. Thank god! Now most of the gaming press and "posters" on the internet can start repeating this. Hopefully this will apply pressure to MS. It'll be best for the industry if MS gets rid of their parity clause.

One of those rare instances where you can laugh at how ridiculous something sounds, and completely agree with it at the same time.
But don't dismiss the possibility someone got tipped off to pending policy changes so that someone else can say they take consumer feedback seriously and pretend to be the good guys.

You mean like that clearly scripted back and forth on twitter between Spencer and him about the strike system?

Hmmm......just like that report once said. This is someone tipping Xbox gamers off to "bad" news incoming. But cloaked in good news since it's to defend against big bad Playstation.
