You know perfectly what I meant by that (credits are available to everyone).
XDEV helped on QA and tying together some other services (like localization and marketing), but that's indeed to be expected for a publishing role. Unlike the development role for DS and BB. Which the whole point was about, putting out a list of exclusives mixed and matched with various criterias, and behaving like Sony had a development role in those games.
Sorry, my intent wasn't to try to defend any weird list someone else put together, I'm trying to generate a discussion around the definition of this ''development role''.
I'd argue, and I know many other people amongst enthusiasts, press and devs would think the same, that all of those roles like production, QA, localization, marketing & PR and many others, are also game development. So yes, a bunch of SIE personal had development roles in this game, the same with any other externally developed Sony game.
