No politicians do this, Phil will go after new challenges in a new place.If you think it was Phil’s choice, and not a directive from above his level, you give Phil too much credit.
Expect Phil to decide to spend more time with his family soon.

Yeah, again 4d chess move, right?Im seeing a new cope from xbox fanatics that this third party talk is an elaborate scheme to trick regulators into allowing MS to acquire more publishers. I do think MS is a scummy enough company to do something like that. However the damage to the brand if this starts to settle into the hardcore gamers subconscious cant be understated though.
10/10 mental gymnastics from them.Im seeing a new cope from xbox fanatics that this third party talk is an elaborate scheme to trick regulators into allowing MS to acquire more publishers.

If they feel MS needs to "trick" regulators so they can go buy more publishers, and they support the idea, it's time for them to accept that THEY'RE anti-consumer and openly support the creation of a monopoly. Like, that really says a lot more about them than anyone or anything else.Im seeing a new cope from xbox fanatics that this third party talk is an elaborate scheme to trick regulators into allowing MS to acquire more publishers.

Ppl need to remember how bad the quality of Xbox games are every time they want to complain ps is releasing games to slowly. Crossfirex, redfall, forza motor sport were all doa because a complete lack of quality control. Releasing stuff like that furnishes the brand. I go for quality over quantity every time.It's easy to noticed that MS stuff at all struggling with lack of quality a "little bit" (Redfall, Starfield, even Forza etc). It looks like they don't pay attention on them, and there's one thing that comes to my mind when I think about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but MS mentioned that some games comes from their first party developers, will be designed in Unreal Engine 5. For example, next Halo game may work on that engine, and even more project in the future, so they can optimise development process and cut cost of the production. Meanwhile, Epic takes royalties (probably 5%) after game's revenue across 1 milion $.
So what happened if some games based on unreal engine comes to GamePass and never across this sale-point? Customers have access to the subcripition (and games) until they pay, so it's kinda renting. But in reality, sales on Xbox dropping down all the time. Is it the way how MS would save the money? They do their best to cut the production costs, because literally every game must be in GamePass library, so they don't care about quality itself.
(Forgive me my english).
This is a fair point for royalties, there must be something somewhere in the license.So what happened if some games based on unreal engine comes to GamePass and never across this sale-point?

Deals done it won't be undone , Microsoft has bitten off more than they can chew with this acquisition lol
They will write it off!-Toys for bob-Gone
-Cod 2025- No lead developer
-Blizzard game cancelled and mass staff- laid off
-Lead devs of COD- Laid off or fired
-Ubisoft owns streaming rights for 15 YEARS.
Am I missing anything else ? Sounds like the biggest waste of 70 billion dollars imaginable.
It's actually looking almost as bad as Elon Musk buying xitter lmao-Toys for bob-Gone

We should be actually happy. This is what led to Microsoft going by the next generation slowly in 3rd Party route. MS did miscalculate, they thought everyone from PS would jump ship. This is indeed a waste but also good for us PS fans.-Toys for bob-Gone

I don't think they miscalculated user reactions. They just only really wanted the mobile and PC storefronts all along.We should be actually happy.

This is the last publisher I see MS buying. Xbox is standing on his last legs.

The thing about that is that mediocre software doesn't cut it in gaminglol
lmao even.
They will not stop.
MS's aim is still the same: becoming the most powerful company in the tech world, gaming included.
They'll still have hardware, niche, but still.
But they'll publish their games everywhere.
This doesn't change their overall strategy, it actually is more in line with the rest of the company.
MS doesn't have exclusive software, never did.
Office is everywhere, Azure is platform agnostic, Windows is an open platform.
Gaming was the odd one and now it isn't anymore.
MS is multiplat as a company for decades now.
But it does.The thing about that is that mediocre software doesn't cut it in gaming
