It’ll be good to see Hellblade coming back to its natural home on PlayStation.

MCC should be theoretically viable for Switch, Right? Just cut the remastered graphics from Halo 2 & leave the OG graphics setting and it should be good to go.

Don Mattrick is laughing his ass off right now…
This was Nutella and boarding. Phill Spencer is a blind fanboy like Aaron G.

They spent 80bn getting studios. They don't sell hw. No one besides fanboys care about xbox but they need to sell games.

Next target is gamepass my bet
 
And that’s the clear issue. People are saying they need to do this yet they are already releasing their games on millions of devices through PC and phones and we still get mediocrity, release droughts and questionable excuses.

I know the PlayStation guys will take the piss and that’s cool by me, I like a good laugh, I just think it’s laughable particularly in the media, no one is calling out the obvious problems. The fucking weak management

Say that again for those in the back that didn't hear.

Finally PlayStation will have some good games.

am I doing this right?

Brilliant 😂😂😂

I think this descision flew way above his head and he has zero control over the Xbox car that is on fire and on it's way to the abyss.

He's always had a short lease, and just when he was starting to get some independence (closing the Zenimax and ATVI deals) to actually make good on promises to build up XGS, the rug gets pulled out from under him. I guess that's what happens when your company leadership doesn't understand the industry at all.

So they are full publisher mode now. Twas a good run. Sony is surely celebrating.

But now they have no one to keep them in fucking check

I mean, they're really not even keeping them in check now or for some time. They pretty much needed to buy out the industry to do it. Even then, you'd just trade one dominant force for another.

I really want to hear from Phil. I want to know if he is the one pushing this or being pushed into it. My theory is it is a little of both. I believe he has pushed for games everywhere but through Game Pass. I am not sure he was wanting to go full multiplatform because he knows it would be the end of the Xbox console. That might explain both his conflicting quotes/actions on the topic over recent years and his recent silence.

What is your take on this? I know you're more an Xbox guy. At least that's the impression I always had. You seem to know people, too. Apologies if you've already given your thoughts.
It doesn’t bother me in the least because I have had heard Phil and Ybarra when he was still with Xbox say it was the goal to be everywhere.

I brought it up here a few times over the years Phil approached Sony about putting their MP games first there and pushed really hard for Halo Infinite to be the first to be on PS

Phil also approached Sony about getting Gamepass on PS in previous years

Personally I like the move because it adds more player pool to MS games eventually

The “Emotions” suggest that a lot of these guys thought that these suits were there friends…


If those guys truly were their friends they would have been invited into their private discords where people like Ybarra and Spencer go to hang out and actually game and none of those types like your Timdog was ever in there.

At most would be about 10 of us and no journalist types were there
