Hes done realy great at tricking us into getting Xbox, couple yrs ago they anounce all these games, we get our new Xbox and now just hear about these games getting scaled down and dev problems. Its ok though as weve got that sweet 3 years of gamepass already paid for so get big hitters like High on life and Potion Craft.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Well he’s not gonna win awards for his first party games is he?

That’s (intended as) a joke mods.

 

[anthony2690]

He hasn't accomplished shit.

Tbf, there was probably more Muppets at the game awards than game reveals, we know what these journalists are like

Joking aside, apparently in a now deleted tweet, there was some Xbox studio thing posted, and someone implied it would be like Nintendo Directs, could be most likely absolutely nothing, as I'm not really sure how reliable Jeez Cordens overall track record is. (I could even have the info mixed up too, as I read it half asleep before going bed last night)

The deal is as good as done. This is Microsoft we're talking about. They will get what they want. When you have as much money as Microsoft, you can do whatever you want. Not only will they get Activision but also more publishers over the coming years. Activision will open the floodgates.

With how much pushback this deal is getting, the next attempt at buying a publisher is dead in the water for MS if they do get Activision

 

[Jimmyisback]

Creator of game pass. The best deal in gaming. Well deserved.

 

[DenchDeckard]

To be fair, he's steering the industry in the right direction in many ways...but in the main way....he hasn't delivered and that's big blockbuster games we can all be excited for.

 

[phil_t98]

all the usuals triggered by this lol

 

[Chukhopops]

High on life. More like high on Phil Spencers farts.

High on Copium

Those jokes…

 

[The Shepard]

Only if he brings back the glory days of the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 days does he deserve an award. Till then he deserves nothing.

 

[Three]

When you pay 45% above market value is that what's award worthy?

 

[Benniewise de Clown]

Let's be honest, the guy is navigating a sinking ship, while convincing passengers that it's the best cruise ever and picking up a couple more passengers and bands on the go.

That itself is worth an award.

 

[Chiggs]

Haha, the kiss of death if I've ever seen one.

 

[Hendrick's]

Well deserved. Haters can't stop the Phil train.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[PJX]

I think he now has more awards than MSFT has next gen exclusives.

The usuals are already here crying and trolling. What a surprise in a positive Xbox/Phil thread.

 

[Victor Omega]

im just here for the "morale" support. don't mind me

 

[Slicker than your average]

They should make an award just for Phil Spencer called the Phil Spencer award.

 

[Gudji]

Being in last place doesn't seem that bad anymore. Congrats Phil.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Oh wow Phil got another award?
Man, that really makes me want to get an Xbox now! /s

 

[Punished Miku]

Nothing makes NeoGAF meltdown quite like saying anything positive about Phil Spencer.

What you should get is the avatar change from the avatar bet you lost.

 

[Black_Stride]

Xbox thread.
We already know how this is going to go.

 

[Banjo64]

His accomplishments in the industry are unrivalled. Sony fans might not like it, but the results speak for themselves. Anyway, I’m going to go now and spend time with my friends blowing down buildings in Crackdown 3.

 

[Gudji]

Jim Ryan must be pissed.

 

[crackajack]

If it falls apart, ... leaves their subscription service plan without a key pillar valued at USD$70b.

or he could use those saved 70bn to create several exclusive studios from scratch, which then can make games they don't have to provide to anyone.
Sony would have nothing to cry about, xbox gamers would get games no one else gets and would have finally more ammunition for list wars.

Buying existing stuff benefits no one other than share holders and Musk, Bezos, Arnault and all the other kremlins having way too much money and buying the world with it.

This deal or Bungie or coming Tencent and Embracer stuff should not be allowed anymore. Giants buying their supposed competition.

What results?

Stagnant GamePass userbase or getting outsold in your strongest market by a competitor with supply issues or lack of games?

 

[Hendrick's]

He does seem like the type to drink away his failures.

Pretty sure he was joking. The last sentence was something that dipshit colt eastwood said on Twitter.

The man is suffering from success, give him a break. Poor Jim.

Lol ok, can't ever be sure on forums.

I’m not sure I like your tone. Anyway, I’ll leave it there. I’m off to spend hours blowing down buildings with friends in Crackdown 3.

Good thing he's got his cheerleaders to balance things out.

 

[Punished Miku]

"Balance."

 

[darrylgorn]

I'm glad I bought my Phil Spencer Box. That Jim Ryanstation is just stinky

 

[OmegaSupreme]

"Balance."

As balanced as the console market itself.

 

[solidus12]

Here’s hoping for a Nobel prize next

 

[Punished Miku]

I don't know what you're even saying, but I'm getting the last word. HA

 

[Swift_Star]

Now deliver the games, Phil… where are they?

 

[Ronin_7]

This dude getting any awards is laughable at best lmao

 

[Interfectum]

They should delay giving him the award until the next AAA xbox exclusive comes out.

 

[Gudji]

This dude getting any awards is laughable at best lmao

They're getting ready to send him away.

 

[TLZ]

You wanna talk about buying awards huh?

I can't believe that Ryan called Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond muppets.

Seriously though, I am getting a strange feeling that Spencer will be gone after the Activision buyout (whether it goes through or not) and the last few months is giving him the send off for making Xbox Division somewhat relevant this gen.

Bond opened their last E3. It's been obvious for a while that he will retire at some point. Not that shocking really.

 

[Umbasaborne]

The criteria for winning must not be releasing games then

 

[deeptech]

unbelievable how videogame related business gets awarded even though it hasn't produced any fucking games, how out of touch man
