Why is that "more likely"? Because it's what people want to believe and makes them feel better about the situation? What evidence is there that allows anyone to draw a conclusion either way other than the one they badly want to believe?
Judging by Yakuza on Game Pass and how the series probably only came to Xbox One by Microsoft throwing up the money for ports, considering how Game Pass operates. And the fact that Yakuza: Like a Dragon was made for current-gen, and PS5 users will just buy the PS4 version anyway. Annnnd given what we know about Microsoft's stance on moneyhatting.
Obviously I don't know anything for sure man, just guessing based on the knowledge I have.
Im questioning said "theories". Two scenarios have been presented I'm wondering what makes one "more likely" than the other.
"Questioning said theories" = "Why do you think that's the most likely scenario?"
Not: 'Why do you think that, because it makes you feel better about so and so?" That's antagonizing.
