I ain't reading that just for the simple fact the last 2 times i have read what he has to say was..
"I think we should Tip the Devs"
"I feel sorry for Phil and his feelings because of the studio closures."
of course he does. he is xbot. a snake. wherever he goes next, 2-5 years, m$ buying them.
Gaming flateartherly nonsensical takes.
What happens with Death Stranding DC, Astro's Playroom, Gran Turismo 7, Death Standing 2, Physint, Rise of the Ronin, Stellar Blade, Convallaria, Lost Soul Aside? They don't exist according to you?
Why XDEV Japan got their own office (in the same building), is growing and now handles games developed in the whole Asia instead of only Japan? They don't exist according to you?
Why he fired the ones who had Japan Studio making mobile games, or made some big money sinks and turds, or weren't able to have a moderate sales hit in 30 years? Why refounded the studio merging their different internal development team around their most successful team/brand and now are growing on a new office (in the same building) where they are growing? Team Asobi doesn't exist according to you?
Regarding Rebirth, like the many other 3rd party -mostly Japanese- exclusives like FFVIIR, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Guilty Gear Strive, RE4R and SF6 not having XBO version, RE4R and RE Village having VR exclusive, and so on have nothing to do with Hermen, because he's the PS Studios boss so he has nothing to do with games not published by them, as are all the 3rd party games.
Sony has a different division to manage their relationship with 3rd parties and sign deals with them. And another one to sign deals with indies.
Yes, Yun Watanable grew in Spain. He's a great guy and was working in Tango until it was shut down. He also worked on FFVII Remake and Rebirth.

Japan Studio games weren't selling, the team was merged into XDEV and Asobi, Asobi and Polyphony are both in Japan and working, Hermen isn't in charge of 3rd party deals, he runs their internal studios.
Damn, not sure how a reasonable, nuanced response can stand up to that.
As I recall, he said he wished there was a way people COULD tip devs, voluntarily, if they think they deserve it. That's a fine opinion to have. Not sure what's disqualifying about that one.
I will never understand the logic behind Xbox putting CoD on Game Pass. It'll just lead to them complaining about lack of profits and revenue, leading to them closing one of the teams down (Sledgehammer Games will be the most likely casualty) like it's their fault.
How about publishers should tip them?
Instead of making billions profits out of the same devs.
Oh goodness me, the drama these pathetic fanboys are now trying to create.
People are losing their livelihoods, and studios are being shut down, but here we have an idiot trying to expose someone for calling one of MS's Top Brass. "Not a nice person"
Xbox fanboys....the gift that keeps on giving.
Apparently it translates to unlikable & he's bitching about that
I mean she's attractive but is she likeable ? No lol
After all Ms has done this last week, this last month, these last few years, you still have buffoons like him going out there to try and defend them.Apparently it translates to unlikable & he's bitching about that
Not sure how those ideas are mutually exclusive.
