Why are games skipping Xbox because Microsoft won't respond to developer submissions?

The episode opens with hosts discussing recent game releases like Star Wars Outlaws, which one host rated 7.5/10, and Black Myth: Wukong. They transition to news about Enotria: The Last Song, a souls-like game delayed on Xbox because the developer claimed Microsoft wasn't responding to store submissions, sparking a rant about Xbox's incompetence in developer relations. The hosts note that Phil Spencer eventually stepped in to resolve the issue. They then cover Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection and Capcom Fighting Collection 2, previously slated to miss Xbox but now confirmed for 2025 after feedback. A major segment focuses on Concord, PlayStation's live-service game that launched on August 23rd and shut down on September 3rd, with the hosts analyzing its low player counts and what it means for PlayStation's multiplayer initiatives. The conversation shifts to rumors that PlayStation secured the marketing deal for Grand Theft Auto 6, debating whether Xbox should have pursued it given its impact on console sales. Other topics include the Call of Duty beta, Activision's licensed games like Transformers potentially coming to Game Pass, and the leaked PS5 Pro pricing and features. The hosts question if Xbox needs a mid-gen refresh, criticizing Microsoft's lack of marketing and hardware focus. They wrap up with brief mentions of Space Marine 2, Astro Bot, and Asian Mythology.
