When you have upper management of your gaming division actively rubbing shoulders with these grifters, it's a very bad look.

I fucking hope not. Never clicked after that lunatic article with CGI child porn fiasco.We love Kotaku now
Ignore the MS aspect, people shouldn't be harassing staff involved with any company. I think we can all agree in that. However, the writer shouldn't have singled out one component out from the crazy fanboy gaming sphere as all groups have the local psychopath.
Except Knack obviously
So what you're saying is... If I pray hard enough, we can get Jim Ryan replaced by Kevin Butler, yeah?
I will say this, Phil and Co definitely seem to award legitimacy to some of their worst fanboys on twitter.

Well, if you go on twitter you will also see playstation fanboys being dumb like the xbox fanboys.
The "we all play" was always marketing good guy bs. Only fools would believe this sleezy guy.
Jim might be blunt but he is at least honest douche

Show me the PlayStation equivalent of mil grau, saselandia, colteastwood, jez corden, and show me what PlayStation ceo follows. Them and give them likes
Truth is all fanbases have toxicity, but with Xbox one thing I think we can agree on is, they have professionals who mingle with, at best, instigators of console warring online.
Colteastwood spends 90% of his time on Twitter doing promo work for Xbox that'd make Klobrille blush, and trolling PlayStation. He's also one of the biggest names in the Xbox fandom as far as content creators go, he's even been invited to the Redmond campus a few times. DealerGaming has played games with Phil Spencer & Aaron Greenberg multiple times, even got Aaron Greenberg on their podcast a few times. On those same podcasts, they're usually shitting on PlayStation.
Most of the pro-Xbox content creators I can think of, including Destin, Boomstick, Zalker etc. ALL spend more than a fair amount of time trolling and crapping on PlayStation and enabling their fanbases to do the same. You have Xbox-adjacent creators (who are mainly PC guys) who do the same thing, and enable their fans to therefore do similar. Then you have stuff like Aaron Greenberg quote-tweeting VGChartz sales figures, when they have a dubious history at best, thus screwing up accurate sales discussions online.
I'm not saying there aren't fanboy PlayStation content creators, but you don't see Herman Hulst or Jim Ryan hanging out with them online or associating with them, either. They'd rather keep it professional. There also hasn't been anything with PS similar to things like the Xbox Ambassador fiasco, with people who don't even like the brand coming out to shield Xbox executives from constructive criticism, mainly because they were getting free stuff as an Ambassador. You don't see that happening with Sony or Nintendo, just Microsoft/Xbox. Meanwhile some of those same Ambassadors would be the first ones to spread negativity around PlayStation, even FUD. They may not be an Ambassador but the recent D3coder thing over the PS5 liquid metal "problem" popping up right after the 30 million sold-through announcement is just more of the type of thing that could probably be attributed at least partially to the sort of things Xbox people have encouraged over the years.
All this Twitter cult leaders like Colt, Infrarogue, Andrea Pichini, Destin are in no way normal people. I get the hunch they are hired by Microsoft for doing propaganda. This certainly the same case when a lot of Japanese were tweeting an Xbox with “Jump In” tag. Never wondered why the Japanese stopped? Because they were exposed, the background was always the same. When it got discovered, the tweet went viral and they stopped all of a sudden. Microsoft is scumbag company. It would be better they went 3rd Party, spare yourself the trouble.
Phil follows them because these guys are just a bunch of ass kisser. The reason xbox is in this situation is because these blind idiots fanboys.
Everybody loves having a personal ass kisser lmao.
The difference between XBox and PlayStation, is PlayStation is more focused on making content and making deal for their platform, meanwhile Phil is surrounded by idiots that live in a world of their own, well let's call them delusional fanboys. So, Phil live in a world full of lies where every moves he does is always a great move.
The only guy I know is someone called Sony prophet or PlayStation prophet, I don't follow the fanboys scene, but sometimes they appear on my timeline.

You don't see Jim Ryan and Herman trolling with these losers because they are better stuff to do.
Dont forget Greenberg made his profile pic crash bandicoot making an x symbol shortly after the activsion deal was announced. The xbox excecs want the toxicity, it helps keep xbox in the conversation for better or for worse.

Wait, who is Luke Plunkett?
Yeah it totally is, and the Xbox fans insisted it wasn't a jab at Playstation, which is hilarious.
