Of course. A PR person made a mistake. Shit happens.
I'm just responding to the complete overreaction about banning Windows Central.
User Warned: Platform wars and trolling over a series of posts
Assuming that email is accurate WC didn't even wait a full day to post their article without getting a response.
That's where my beefs lands, its rushing to publish an article with a baiting headline.
I wonder if you also have similar stances towards other outlets posting news with baiting headlines "without getting a response." Something tells me that as long as they hue blue, you don't.
That comment wasn't directed towards you and I agree with your perspective.

"assuming that email is accurate"
lmao
"WC didn't even wait a full day to post their article without getting a response."
They got a response saying no enchantments and posted an article about that quote.
Why are you moving the goal posts on this one. Just admit your beef RE this situation is bullshit.
Looking at this, maybe the PR person meant to say "no native 4K," since it was "regarding resolutions." Of course, by phrasing it with "no enhancements," it definitely reads another way.
But it was clarified directly from Private Division (notice the PR is third-party).
My apologies, didn't want to word that post like that. I didn't feel attacked or anything.
No, we aren't debating semantics, don't move a goalpost when we not playing soccer. You are wrong in trying to put blame of the situation on Windows Central accurate reporting saying that they did an ambiguous quote where the quote is right there in front of you. The full blame is on Private Division. That is what is clear and not up for "debate".

One person is mad that they cancelled their preorder and now have to preorder it again xd
I'm not a fan of platform slanted websites in general, I don't like DualShocker's or NintendoLife's reporting either
for instance and generally hold them under a much more powerful microscope than agnostic websites.

Yesterday, 30 minutes after the thread went up:

I'm sorry what discussions did windows central have with a pr firm? What.. run me through this..
Windows central does not do reviews on other consoles than Xbox (please correct me if I am wrong).. there is only one person reviewing xbox games there, and that is jez.. again correct me if I am wrong..
So what is that mail about that jez is showing a little piece of?

DualShockers is not platform slanted. What you are looking for is PS Lifestyle or Push Square.
Inasmuch as I can agree with you about scrutinizing platform specific outlets more heavily, I also think that there needs to be a degree of reasonability in that scrutiny. WC is often wrong and jumps the gun. This is not one of those times.
Maybe take a break from this thread and un-cancel that preorder?
Calling to ban windows central because they posted an article about a statement they received from the publisher, and put IN the article they have followed up seems a bit.. much?
I'm sure someone somewhere on the internet is actually saying that exact thing, but the poster in question is parodying outrage lol (check their post history)
You want to communicate to Private Division PR to verify the authenticity of the email?
They need to wait a day to post official information from Public Relations? What does that day do? (Maybe you should have waited a day to cancel your preorder)
Baiting headline? "The Outer Worlds only features '4K textures and resolution' on Xbox One X and PC"
Please explain the "bait" in this title? Where are the inaccuracies.
I’m sure that everyone who posted about refusing to buy the game will now reevaluate and purchase, right? I’m just so sure of it.
I'm not moving goalposts. To reiterate:
I believe Windows Central can be blamed for sharing a controversial piece of misinformation and in fact, basing an article headline on that misinformation. I also believe the quote in question was ambiguous enough that WC followed up on it for clarification.
You, and others here, think I'm wrong and that WC is blameless.
I'm completely ready to drop this discussion at this point. We're not getting anywhere.
Windows Central shared a piece of information that at the time of sharing was accurate and not misinformation
If I share an article saying "Cancer has no known cure" and tomorrow a cure for cancer is discovered, you can't fucking get on my case for spreading doom and gloom about cancer, jfc

No, we are getting somewhere, we have dissected on how every part of your comment is incorrect. We can drop it because you have nothing to defend yourself with because of the information brought forward. Ok, goodbye.
Correct.
Wrong.
It was communication between Windows Central and the PR agency of The Outer Worlds.
There ya go.

And this is why Windows Central should be banned from resetera?
