Wow, so Phil is suddenly retired, Sarah bond RESIGNED and the coreai president is running gaming?

You can deduce what may be going on…
 
LOL Xbox now led by AI woman who probably thinks Halo is an artisinal shampoo and Forza is a fruit drink.

*Edit* I was half joking, but seems she really is just a flighty career executive bouncing between unrelated companies she deems to be promotions into more prestigious roles. She has legit very likely never touched a console or "core" videogame in her entire life before Nutella started grooming her for the role.

Now we wait with our popcorn and drinks at the ready until people who defended Phil for every dumb fucking thing for over a decade toss him name and legacy to the wolves to defend the new CEO.

Are you ready for the whiplash?

I can't help but wonder if A.I. is just going to COMPLETELY ruin gaming as we know it... seems like all companies are putting themselves through the meatgrinder hoping to find a way to make more money with A.I. Such a fucking curse.

Phil and Sarah be like "my job here is done"



People will probably think things will change but its probably under new bad management lol

WOW. That's a quick turnaround on that "retirement."

it wasn't quick at all. its par for the course for these things. If you take notice that exactly 1 year ago is when things started changing rapidly at Xbox. Upper management always stays on a year during transition. So really his going out was planned since at least a year or more.

You know, I'm not even mad or sad about it.

Picking an AI person, when their Copilot is a shitshow vs other AI options, to run your gaming department...is great news for Linux.

"As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop. Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us."

We like the word "slop" now?
 
Phil retiring is actually a good thing. He drove the brand into the ground imho. Sarah out too is a big plus as she knew fuck all about gaming. Let's see where this goes now…..between this and Sony killing off Bluepoint Studio this is turning out to be one hell of a way to get this new year started. Who knows what will happen next.

At this point the western gaming development sphere should just turn around, bend over, stretch their assholes long and wide for China to pound them till Kingdom Come.

Or, in the words of every single YouTuber clickbaiter,

IT'S OVER.
 
Sarah running from the Titanic already.

Phil leaving soonish I expected, Sarah making for the door this soon I did not.
