I'm retarded?
You guys having an obsession with these irrelevant humans is always interesting to see. Your lives must be complete bore-fests.

I give it 24 hours before Jez talks about how he has spoken to people within Xbox and they are excited about what is happening and they are positive about what is happening behind the scenes, and we will hear about it later in the year.

Pointless really. It's obvious what he is but he's not going to change his ways either.
It's amusing that he is thought of as some fanboy.

Probably the money is still coming from Microsoft for some reason.

Jez and Destin "work" for Frank Shaw at MS. They're basically free freelancers that just spread whatever narrative Frank wants out there about MS at the moment.

Given the state of the brand, he has failed miserably and all it has done is reveal two individuals for the slime balls that they are.

Frank Shaw is basically Baghdad Bob for MS.

Phenomenal.
Jez is a consistent liar so Xbox loves him. The good news is more and more people are leaving Shillville, so his consistent bullshitting to defend Xbox is becoming more and more ineffective.

I admit that I am torn here.
On one hand I found Avellones comments to be unnecessary and pointless.
On the otherhand, I am beyond grateful to see these shills getting called out and humiliated.
These shills did a ton of damage to the brand. They constantly said things were going well and never once utilized their fanbase to demand better of Xbox. They were interested in being treated as celebrities by Phil and company. Xbox is ultimately responsible for their brand failures, but if Jez, Parris, Destin, Ryan McCaffrey had even a little interest in holding their feat to the fire and had been honest about the state of the company...things might just might have been different and we wouldnt have all these studio closures that cost 10s of 1000s to lose their jobs.

Jez was good at being a mouthpiece for Xbox. That has SOME value, but now its cost him.

I also blame him for windowscentralgaming "journalists" losing their jobs.

Console warriors / brandboys are a negative force, they don't provide or foster valuable meaningful honest feedback and just echo bullshit that eventually drives brand values to zero.
It's a legitimate threat that needs to be corrected. Like, today, like immediately.
It doesn't extend to just public guys there's a whole network of moderation, anonymous commercial PR brigades etc across spaces that fosters this bullshit across the web.
Big portion of the influence scene seems a bit tainted.
Eventually honest people will just start spontaneously laughing at how retarded the arrangement is. It's so painfully fucking dated too, try something new, holy shit.
Applies to Sony too, you're basically business partners at this point, knock this shit off before nature deletes both your brands.
Intangables, the good shit, the magic dust you build empires with, are lost in manupilation. Why do you think it's so easy to spike it and games with divisive politics? Because you made it easy.
The GaaS vibe has been a disaster in new ways too because it spawned a catch-all audience culture of leaders that eventually leaked to non GaaS projects and marketing. Nobody outside of these specific spaces find any of this charismatic. It's fucking repulsive.
Something tells me these corpo guys thought they were James Bonds of marketing, and hot shit, and suddenly they just kind of lost control one day.
Legacy systems will always be increasingly inviting for exploitation, the price you pay is value.
How do you fix this? I don't fucking know, maybe start by decoupling your corporation from weirdos. Internal and external. Then go fangs out via legal. Your money, your hole, your problem, man.

Its good to see you say this.
You can also see that Jez is desperate. He knows full well his gig is up. Its hard for me to fathom that he has anywhere else to go.

I've never liked Jizz. He's awful. But, yeah. I mean. After yesterday I've changed my tune and I think MS is done.
I think there's a high chance Magnus doesn't even happen now. Or it's all drastically changed. Maybe just OEMs or I dunno. I think MS is done with gaming. We are literally nothing burgers compared to what they think and will make from AI and focusing on their other shite.

Their priority now is offloading as much work as possible to AI. I don't think studios will close completely, but they'll be trying to replace a lot of the workers with those skilled in making AI do the job.

The only thing I've heard about MS that I desperately want to be true, but cannot bring myself to have even a residue of trust is them fixing Windows 11.
I get by pretty well with Windows 11 IoT LTSC as my gaming OS, but there is still a ton of work to be done.

Cut Jizz some slack, he's on suicide watch 24/7 nowadays
