It's well past time to stop supporting last-gen consoles anyways. No developer should have to explain themselves regarding that decision. PS5 and XBSX|S will turn 3 later this year. Don't want the older hardware of last-gen consoles influencing or interfering with the design and performance of today's games. XBSS already holds sh1t back enough as it is.
