Windows Central - Xbox wasnt involved with Redfall but still to blame for its Quality

They weren't involved, yet ordered Arkane Austin to cancel the PS5 version and focus on Xbox & Game Pass instead? Weren't involved, yet the past two years of its development have been directly under Microsoft's ownership?

Is Jez smoking crack to cope? This is getting ridiculous.

And if he supposedly knew all of this why'd he wait until the game released as a disaster before saying it? Just sounds like desperation and shifting the blame from Microsoft to Zenimax and Arkane Austin; "limited integration" or not, they're still under Microsoft so no you can't shift the blame to make it look less bad on Phil Spencer, Jez.

But....but Xbox is 2021 publisher of the year! / s

They wanted to take all the credit for Psychonauts and Deathloop back then but now they don't want the blame when the games fail.

Another new low?

Man the damage control.

It is bad = No Microsoft.
It is good = Microsoft.

This is some pretty sad damage control. If the game was a success and had a 92 meta he would be demanding that Microsoft get all the credit.

Cool. Bethesda is just stupid then? They were not pressured into releasing this bomb? Great get for MS.

 

[Acquiescence]

This is just Jez's way of shifting the blame from Microsoft to Bethesda/Arkane, because he idolises Phil Spencer and wants his fellow fanboys to do the same. Phil is their golden boy and can do no wrong after all!

It's like saying your father isnt to blame for the shitty result after he wanted you to mow down the grass with a pair of scissors in 24 hours while he holds you at gunpoint.

The game was announced under MS ownership

The game was delayed under MS ownership

The game was released under MS ownership


Own your failures and get fucked

I really can’t just do nothing than despise Xbox cheerleaders. How many times did say (for example Psychonauts 2): “It’s an Xbox 1st Party studio, so it’s an 1st Party game” or “Doesn’t matter how long it was before in development, it was made by an Xbox studio”. I really despise this hypocritical fanboys, they are the worst. But is it some failure they swing it the other way around that’s it not made by Xbox despite being an Xbox 1st Party studio. *smh

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Jez "investigation'" = calling Phil directly on his cellphone for damage control.

Basically MS doesn't do anything so what's the point of getting all these studios? I thought they were supposed to save all the Activision employees?

At least MS gets ZERO credit for Hifi Rush from now on. That's confirmed and clear for everyone now. Thanks Jizzy!

 

[PropellerEar]

Not buying this narrative at all.

 

[Johnic]

So Jezz admits Hi-Fi Rush isn't a MS game. Let's see the mental gymnastics on this one.

 

[Bryank75]

I wonder if any of these talking points will raise their heads in Phils discussion on the XCast tomorrow?

 

[Nhomnhom]

The Xbot army most important rule: "no matter what happens never blame Phil"

After that one comes: "whenever possible, blame Sony"

Its time to stop giving traffic to bearded idiot for every shilling he does

Some of these Xbox fans have clear dissociation disorder my God. Microsoft is never responsible for anything bad only the good!

The same fool who wrote last month:

Absolutely nobody would care for Redfall if not for all the marketing associated with it being exclusive to Xbox (and the fact that they have gone for more than a year without releasing a single AAA game).
