Phil Spencer is the reason why xbox it's failing, Microsoft made a big mistake to put Phil as a CEO at Xbox. He has to go.

Good ol whataboutisms.

You sound like the Xbox people when Xbox implemented always online DRM to their console.

how is it whataboutism? it isn't like at all.

it is critical thinking, take facts, analyse them, take history and make an argument.

Im going to be honest here and i know ill catch flak for it but you all know its true:

This isnt Phil spencers fault. This is gamers fault, this is your fault. Gamers failed Phil and his long term vision. These layoffs are because sony hogs marketshare and doesnt let xbox compete. Its sony fauly MS isnt more popular and that gamepass hasnt taken off.
Phil is a visionary. He wanted to transform the game industry to make it better and more accessible to Gamers all over the world. Buying publishers was necessary because sony always cheats him. Laying people off is also necessary to keep budgets in line. All of us gamers should be ashamed of ourselves.

Disappointed none of you have taken my bait yet.

Disagree, he needs to stay.

He is doing a great job for us.

Hermen is the one that needs to go.

Completely agree, Phil is best thing that has happened to Playstation. Kaz/ Shu should be the ones incharge of WWS

Phil is Sony secret agent

Multiple years old games = legacy games. I'm using the term "legacy" as a shortened version of games that are probably well passed their ability to entice someone to buy a PlayStation 5 (one of the reasons for exclusives).

Neither one of us know how truly impactful Sony's PC ports are for those studios, neither of us have successfully ran a billion dollar gaming division, neither of us have to worry about teams of people and their financial security. Those are way more important than list wars fuel. The leaders at PlayStation aren't infallible, but they have been very successful. US arm chair executives think we know more than we do. I guarantee to you that, what we think we know about PlayStation's finances and future isn't reality. Again, what's more important is the PlayStation division's financial success and their individual team's success. Fuck the platform vs platform shit. If you wanna buy Helldivers 2 on PC and that's where Sony puts it, so be it.

What a disingenuous comment. 1-2 years later is not legacy, everything you’re saying is objectively wrong. Zero common sense

 

[Box]

All this bad news at Microsoft really took attention away from the whole helldivers 2 thing lol.

In a way Microsoft helped Sony

Herman Hulst is great, this acquisition announcement is so heat:

Herman can more than stay.

Who made the call to acquire ABK?

That's the person who sealed Xbox's fate. If it was something Satya wanted and Phil just had to go along with it, then it's not really Phil's fault that they are where they are currently.

They could've still been under the radar with just the Zenimax buyout and all those other studios prior to ABK.

The Microsoft legal documentation leak makes it seem that it was a Phil Spencer thing.

Nah. He fucked around, and his subordinates found out. Phil is a millionaire C-suite exec who's probably going to get a huge bonus soon.
