“Choose a side, that is … PlayStation? Is that what you mean? Well, small [сомнения] were. You never want to leave part of the audience aside, do you? But in the end, being able to focus and say, “This is the game I want to make, and the platforms I want to release it on, and the ability to fully leverage them will only make the product better.”
By focusing on these platforms, you can really do whatever you can to deliver the best quality game possible on these systems. […] We truly believe in what Xbox and Microsoft are doing to make games available to more people. Whether it’s PC integration, which is very important for us, cloud streaming and everything else. So I think this is about the long term.
And we are confident that, at their core, all these things are really done for good. We see that in reality, due to Game Pass and all other opportunities for people to play our games, it will not decrease, but will significantly increase.
I am proud to be a part of the Xbox. This is a great place for the gaming community. “
