Sony paid nothing translated to English means Sony paid. So that means when Sony pays for exclusives then Sony pays nothing?
Some say when robert serrano said the earth was flat.
The earth spontaneously turned spherical.
This checks out, Serrano is not just unreliable, he's reliably almost always wrong.
Okay so this means Grubb is wrong then. I'm inclined to believe the opposite of everything Serrano said. The GOAT insider has spoken.

The best console version maybe but this game has performance struggles even on the top GPUs.
This would be great if true, but as someone with a decade plus worth of experience in journalism, it just isn't.
Weird situation, normally Sony have no issue letting everyone know they have an exclusive deal and the devs said they didn't have a deal, so why would they hide it ? Seems more likely tech issues are the main problem because the PS5 version isn't exactly amazing in it's current state.
Who cares if they got some things wrong before. this is the important stuff, this is the endgame.
What if they got all the stuff wrong before but got this right?

I guess Tom Warren is a playstation fanboy.
Bro I heard the music in my head!"Alpha, the Wukong's exclusivity deal status is unknown. Recruit a team of insiders with an attitude."
Yeah I don't care what IGN said and I don't trust anything out of Jez I 100% don't believe there is any deal in place. Too many others saying there isn't and Sony not doing anything to promote the game makes me think they didn't pay anything for it either.
Unlike the others, Tom Warren isn't saying there's no deal, he's just speculating.
Paul Tassi not sure now if there is a exclusive deal in place

Look, for some topics I try to Occam's' Razor it. I never expected all this after the IGN article.
Now I'm just enjoying the show.
Huh?
I'm getting so confused right now....
It kinda sounds like Sony paid for the Wukong devs to prioritise a PS5 port (or ensure there was no delay)?
If there's no tech issues and at the same time Sony didn't block the release of Xbox version, why is the game not day one on Xbox? You can't have it both way.
Because it's not a "tech issue" per se, it's just a resource issue. They could have had it launch on Xbox as well if they were bigger. Presumably Sony paid to support the PS5 version to get it ready for launch and that whole thing got misinterpreted as "Sony paid for timed exclusivity"
But why lie then? Plenty of developers have stated resource or time issue as reasons for delays. No one cares, they move on.
Think less tech issue and more it's just not as far along I guess.
That would explain the lack of marketing, but still confirms the exclusivity deal.
Just means it's likely not as long as a year.
Still can't get over how everyone dunked on the XSS for the delay.
That was in the IGN article, which said no tech issue was reported to Xbox
I still maintain the way this played out makes no sense from Sony's pov... And considering IGN's source denied the rumored tech issue being reported to Xbox, it strongly suggests to me that the source is from within Microsoft. That, and the developer seems to have a bunch of weird people (to put it mildly) in leadership... Makes me think the following:
I would not discount the possibility that the reason MS believes there's an exclusivity deal is the result of miscommunication (or dumb communication) between them and the studio. Unless this source is specifically aware of the details of a concrete signed agreement.
That explains nothing. At this point he's as flabbergasted as the rest of us and looking for potential explanations.
Like, in a sense those 2 things (tech issue and resource issue) aren't that different from each other, outside of potentially more time and resources being required for an Xbox version because of 2 consoles.
My point is, they can absolutely make the Xbox version, they just couldn't in time for launch alongside a PS5 and PC versions, and Sony offered (more?) support funding.
That the game launches date with PC. Both consoles probably had internally MIA date and Sony paid them or helped internally to get it done at launch. Xbox might not have dev issues but It's also not ready due to resources being allocated to PS5.
Could be less Sony and more specifically SIE Asia, who might have been more interested in the game, unlike in the west were western SIE seemingly didn't give the slightest of shits about the game. They want it out with the PC version instead of later, who knows when, makes about as much sense as anything else in this.

So..... Sony didn't pay for exclusive deal?
I'm getting confused here
What's the point of exclusivity deal without marketing? And I'm not talking about spend marketing, even bare minimum marketing for the PS5 didn't happen (announcing it's PS5 exclusive)
