We wait for a bit for the real story. I do t think he's going away from gaming it's part of him I expect to see him pop up on a publisher but would be sweet justice if he would become a PSX or Nintendo executive now!
 
Phil will do one of 3 things:
-Actually retire to focus on health. He clearly had something going on.
-Take on advisor role for a large company like Tencent or some shit
-Start making YT videos like Jaffe to give us terrible angry rich man takes

Same here.

I would like to see him either on Playstation or Nintendo. The industry needs heat and movements like this.

All things consider, I wish him the best. I liked the guy.
 
Honestly I'd probably watch those. Especially if he talked a bit about the inner workings. Would be interested to hear it.
Probably under NDA for quite a while as part of his retirement package. Jaffe was nowhere up the chain Phil was obviously.

Was wondering why their podcast yesterday didn't cover this. All in on this after my meeting.
 
I expect Phil to take on a consultant role. That's what all these corporate execs do. He'll get paid handsomely for doing little else besides dispensing advice of questionable merit.

You want gaming to completely collapse, huh?
 
I love this new Internet culture, we're all together on this... let's have a discussion as experts on the industry and share our personal thoughts and opinions.

it's pretty stupid

If he is doing that, he will prove to himself he is an idiot.. just imagine the flame wars and comments about his opinion and his 'legacy'...
He literally won at life (deserved? another topic...), For God's sake, enjoy your life! :-D
