So patch 9 released on PC only and Consoles haven't gotten the update yet, I know they will do soon but thats not the point. What IS the point is the fact that there are many spoilers about the new update around now. The discord spoilers channel is useful and all but that dosen't affect other platforms. When patch 9 came out I immediately got spoiled by a thumbnail on YouTube which takes away all the fun of witnessing the story first-hand whilst playing the game for the first time. People say that I could just not look up Hello Neighbor or I should stay away from the discord server but that just isn't really fair on us console players. The Story Expansion update is coming soon and that will probably be the most lore-heavy story in HN history. I don't want that update to come out just to be spoiled by a VGN thumbnail or smth, me and other console players just want the same experience as PC players. The solution for this is to delay the update until it's ready on AT LEAST PS and Xbox, Switch is a different issue. PC players might say it's unfair to delay the game until it's ready but it's even more unfair to only release the game for a specific group and leave the other groups to be spoiled. There will be no point in playing the story expansion update if I already know what happens. But thats just my opinion.
#Update consoles and PC at the same time, spoilers ruin the fun

The story expansion is literally about the story so why bother playing when you get spoiled
viscid basin
if you say to keep patch 9 screenshots, videos and discussions to the spoiler channels then sometimes people refuse

Guys sorry to break it to you but it's gonna take a BIT longer than a week.
Porting isn't that fast

Yeah true I just spent the last 2 days playing the game to see if it was added to xbox

obviously, thats why they need to do it BEFORE releasing the game

Don't think thats how that works.
I'm pretty sure the porting team starts after the patch gets released

I'm pretty sure the porting team starts after the patch gets released
because a story based game needs to be released to EVERYONE when it comes out otherwise spoilers y'know

The porting team works under another company or something, so im pretty sure this is just how it is.

No but I know that you guys are constantly pressuring the porting team, you guys asking 10000 times wont make them port faster.
Also what type of argument even is that? I can't have a say just because im not affected? I'm just using basic logic

you dont really have a full opinion on the situation since you can play it now but us console player are left in the dark 'until further notice'. Also i dont ask 10000 times a day smh
im fine with them for patch 9 but with the story expansion it would really suck if they released it on PC only
as it is a story based updates and some people on HNG refuse to acknowledge that theyre spoiling console players

But I do have an opinion on the fact that the porting team is out of 6 people, 6 people simply can't port it that fast

thats why they needd to do it BEFORE they release the update
this is what im saying

We: the console players
Bought the exact same game for the exact same price so treating everybody fairly is the right choice to do. Nobody should be superior or treated better just for being on a different platform. Plus Nintendo switch players shouldn’t be treated worse either. We know the porting team is small. BUT they should have thought of that before releasing a unfinished game.

They could have delayed the game but no. So we should agree that maybe they should expand the porting team or focus on the porting team more

Them delaying the update for console players is a good reason for delaying an update because if you didn’t notice. Console players are also human beings who want to enjoy the game without getting it spoiled.
They should either delay the next update or update ps4, xbox ,switch and pc at the same time
humble laurel
What is panic button?
Panic Button is a studio that is really good at porting games
Mostly for switch, they are the guys that ported games like Apex and the new Doom games for switch, as well as other projects

Dude like so many indie games do this, it's not illegal or something.
humble laurel
A lot of indie games do that, but they don’t take as long for them to port the updates, usually around like 1 month. The only game that I can think of that is an exception to this would be Risk of Rain 2

You are correct but it doesn’t stop this from being disappointing and frustrating. They should treat all the players who payed the same price the same
Because if you forgot. Most of these patches should have been day one. Plus why do a group of human beings have to wait longer? Improve and expand the porting team. And stop disappointing half the community.
We are not asking them to mistreat pc players. We are asking them to treat all platforms the same as pc players. Make every player their main priority not only pc players.

I agree on this completely. I have a laptop that I use for school (it can't handle games) and an xbox, and the fact that, fnaf ruin, for example, wasn't out on xbox and that we've now been waiting around six months for a simple dlc is completely unfair.

So Update:
SPOILERS: ||the new updated music coming out is hinting at a ruined town of some sort|| which makes me excited and all but even more so worried that the update will only come out on PC, which I hope not, but just to reiterate, this new update is looking to be all about the story, so releasing it on PC only would be an awful idea, as the console players will undoubtedly be spoiled by the PC players, the discord spoiler channels and rules have done absolutely nothing as people just ignore them and openly talk about this new update in the main chat, so it would be a lot better to just wait and release them on consoles at the same time as PC, so EVERYONE can enjoy the update
I get that the porting team has a small number of people but that can’t stop Tinybuild from hiring more? And just delaying the update on PC until it’s ready on console just makes the most amount of sense

Why don't they just... release the update once they can port it to xbox.
I mean consoles.
