They have been pretty consistent in what they have said all along that they wouldn't pull any games from PS
The spin is what I highlighted. Those games were contractually to deliver long before MS bought them, and they delivered within months of MS owning them. They had no hand in that, at all. The spin is also their "woe is me" rescuing of the games that had an exclusive period and would end up on their box whether they bought Zeni or not.
My opinion is you are correct in that he did not directly lie. The second part of my opinion is that the company still used "PR speak" to convey a message that was misleading, and did not clarify until after they got what they wanted. Which to me is not much different than lying in effect, but my opinion is just my opinion and not a statement of fact.
Sure its all PR crap but have seen many people say they lied which simply isn't true
I agree the PR might have been meant to confuse but I also tend to try to see what people are exactly saying and not what is implied
I did not say "they lied," I said they are using spin. And they are.
I do too and I feel like I'm pretty good at picking up fluff and PR in general. And in that instance I actually believed them at first. Of course, I could have been hearing what I wanted to hear at the time, since I thought Fallout 4 was pretty good and that Starfield sounded interesting. Time to move on for me though. This topic has run a full course and then some for me at this point.
Maybe he should be less "used car salesman" ambiguous, and more "on the nose" and direct. Otherwise, this will constantly happen.

agrees he is a "used car salesman" mode when in the corporate shoes.

Even
That's only because he's in the news every other week constantly PRing and doing interviews. Sometimes less is more.
Its tough because many people, including myself, hammer Sony with how quiet they are but then people hammer Spencer because he talks too much.
Nobody is surprised. Your obsession to equalize Jim to Spencer is not unseen though.
So much this. One we hear from weekly, the other is on a fucking milk carton.
Not sure what you are on about. I am stating that I am surprised that people trust these guys.
We can mention Phil without you constantly equalizing the both of them. It comes off as "Sony Too."
Bingo! Besides….. why would you spend 7billion just to put the new ip on rival formats? They honoured signed contracts for ghost wire and death loop. Nobody needs to shed any tears over this. You can’t miss what you never had in the first place.They never confirmed any consoles so it wasn't
We all know it was, lol
"won't take away"
Who tells people to suck a binkie? Grow the fuck up you petulant child. You should try to get some pussy sometime this week.
Touched a nerve did I? You have anger issues.
The word "hypocrite" muddies the waters too much for me. Hypocrisy is having double standards. This is just straight up lying.
I didn't know MS was making a Stadia. I doubt playing videogames in web browsers will ever catch on but good luck.how does the game get into the hands of more players? if it's playable on PS5, PC and Xbox SX, or if it's playable on Xbox SX, PC and every device that has access to a chromium based web browser?
technically he didn't lie
Was literally coming in this thread expecting this or to post it myself rofl
They had no choice but to honor those contracts, they weren't doing it to be generous they were legally obligated to do so same with every other company they've purchased yet Phil goes out and always says they intend to honor them like they are being generous or doing someone a favor.
Bethesda games were always available to xbox players so that's not really doing anything. My GPU just expired, didn't renew because there was no point but let's be real, xbox gamers gained nothing new from the bethesda buyout, they would have been able to play all of those games anyway.
Yep. It's barely a competition anymore on 1st Party vs 1st Party.Playstation keeps on winning
Actually same lol
Well I'm an old boomer I don't feel like cloud gaming is the future. Even with gigabit internet the lag will always be there.gamepass streaming works on any Chromium browser too you know
works just as well as through a dedicated app too from what I've seen
