This is because the direction fromPhil Spencer‘s team seems clear, ‘if you’re able to’t bring it to both consoles, you can’t bring it to either‘. Now, another industry professional has come out to talk about how optimizing games for the console is such a hassle for developers:

Reacting to the tweet, however, the original poster clarified that though they are from the industry, they had nothing to do with optimizingSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguefor Microsoft’s Starter console:
This is some serious click-bait, considering I wasn’t even around for the Suicide Squad series S optimization pass. But I guess you guys need content 🤷🏾♂️
Regardless, Del Walker was the one who made the tweet and expressed his thoughts on the subpar console from Phil Spencer’s team. His comments sparked outrage against the console in the video game community.

However, some titles games are still being released for the eighth and ninth gen simultaneously for more revenue, and current-gen gamers seem to hate it. Series S seems to have had the same effect but only to a greater extent.

This is because it is meant to be a ninth-generation console but doesn’t possess the required hardware capability. Hence, the outrage from gamers against the console.
The console provided a foot in the door to gamers who couldn’t afford to pay full price for ‘true’ next-gen consoles but made life worse for the developers. What are your thoughts on Microsoft’s console? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
