hi, i already knew that godot by itself cant provide console ports, and i just saw this article on the front page of the website. but i thought a while ago i read an article about there being a company called W4 Games or something, which was started by some of the top people involved in godot, and that that was going to be their way of providing console ports, no?

Here is a list of 3rd party vendors already providing console ports for the Godot Engine:
The company you mention is not on that list at the moment, because their port hasn’t been launched yet. Keep in mind that W4 Games is a private company not affiliated with the Godot Foundation, and therefore their ports are in no way official.
