"Mark Kern Exploded the internet on his tweets about AI Xbox bots for fake advertising among his opinion on Starfield UI"

[Original story] Bethesda's Pete Hines has taken to Twitter to comment on a recent tweet about Starfield's start screen from former World of Warcraft team lead Mark Kern.

Yesterday, Kern posted a tweet about Starfield's start screen, stating that start screens can reveal a lot about the game's development and how the development team feels about their work on a particular game. According to the former Blizzard employee, the start screen of Bethesda's highly-anticipated title shows either hurried deadlines or a lack of interest. "The physiognomy of start screens", Kern wrote on Twitter yesterday. "The start screen of a game can reveal a lot about how rushed the team was and how much pride they took in their work. Starfield's start screen either shows hasty shipping deadlines by a passionate team overworked, or a team that didn't care."

In his follow-up tweet, he wrote, "Start screens are often done at the very end of development". He then said that "Teams that take pride want to put a good face

forward and will often redo these just prior to the game going live."

I thought the whole Absalator program was to reward "fans" that talk well about Xbox in all places.
I mean it is a shiny skin to pay "fan" influencers.

The effect of this drama is enhanced mind share but with hesitancy in tow. Thus:

This can be a net positive if the game is really good.

If the game is mid or bad then it will be a sound net negative.

It was mentioned in a podcast I believe and they had a clip of it. Not sure which one. Mooch, maybe. Or reforge gaming.

Mattyplays was in a podcast of his own, talking to someone and outright said both him and the other person he's talking to were outright instructed by MS to prepare people.

A good friend of mine swears on the Xbox. He keeps telling me about the indie trash that he played on GamePass and the one good game they get on the service every half a year. I don't know why he trusts in this brand so much, especially since we're both from Germany and we don't get any of the cool promotions Xbox does in the US and UK.
I'll need to watch that interview later, been following Grummz on twitter for a while now.
