The signal that it's gonna be bad.



They're still bargaining and coping.

This is strange that they word their coping as "suggestions". That makes me think of some guy trying to keep seeing the GF after she made her decision. It may work, but it's probably too late to get her in bed now, she's bored and she has started to look elsewhere.

At this point Satya probably just found out what the Xbox actually is, he was told it was a money printer... So now he wants to see that $100 Billion toner he bought print those bills, he doesn't care what the kids on twitter think.

Yes, this has been a long time coming and it means Phil was either lying or completely in the dark when he said certain things to the Xbox consumers.

Actually I think the verbiage changed for everybody later in 23’, Phil hasn’t lied he just said no plans for gamepass on PS5, even if Starfield were an 11 it wouldn’t hurt PS5, they lost the console war, digital library is a determining factor in favor of PlayStation, they want to be everywhere…

Think it wasn’t set in stone how it would work and they waited for the holiday to see what would happen, and their worst predictions came true.

But we will see what happens. I get a feeling Helblade 2 is coming out on PS5 this year.

The thing is… Xbox’s biggest games will be/are multiplayer. Their biggest franchise are multiplayer. So what’s the point?

And Indiana Jones and Blade are 100% coming to PlayStation.

Jez tweets gives me serious whiplash.

He was so happy a few days ago.
Dude has been jumping back and forth over his stance on this issue constantly between late last year and now.

He initially scoffed at the idea, now he's pulling out of social media in anticipation of what might get announced.

Jez says him leaving twitter isn't because of Xbox. He also says he doesn't know what will happen, but he thinks MS abandoning exclusives is a bad idea (despite exclusives not doing much for them against Playstation so far).

He also says MS will be cautious in what they say because of the ftc.

Doesn't know what will happen, but knows MS will be cautious about what they say. That would depend on what they say, which he says he doesn't know. So how'd he know that? Gtfo.

These idiots still talking about FTC and hoping for more acquisitions? There is no hope for these guys.

Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls online are the only MP games from Bethesda that I can think of at the top of my head. Bethesda traditionally churned out single player games. This copium strategy is literally identical to the case by case scenario that Phil spewed at the start of the acquisition of Zenimax. All this is is Tim just doesn't want to see AAA single games coming to PlayStation. That business update is going to leave a sour taste in a lot of the bots' mouths.
