Eh......sounds like a lot of speculation. Here is the video timestamped where Grubb starts talking about Perfect Dark. Certainly doesn't sound good, that for sure....
Thanks. Will listen later after I leave the office.

Don't care about Phil either way, but fuck ANYONE who does anything to help Kotaku cling to life. I'm not clicking or reading any articles from them.
PlayStation is the only gaming device we need
If Phil has integrity at all, he should step down right now and cast the blame for this on Satya Nadella and Amy Hood, the only 2 people at Microsoft who could have overrode him on this decision. If he doesn't, that tells me he made this decision and that his words were lies all along. Personally I always suspected he was a liar, always did give me used car salesman vibes, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for a long time. That benefit ends now.
They did disagree on a few things and Ybarra problem was he wasn't so much of a yes man to Phil and did not mind telling Phil when he thought something was a terrible idea.
Dont. He might destroy PS in the process.Phil is the best thing to happen to playstation.
I vote to keep him Xbox CEO for eternity.

Not all of Mike's ideas were bangers too though
I will say well before the current consoles launched Mike wanted Xbox to push the whole DLSS like tech and lead the way so to speak but was shot down
Funny we are about to enter an era of dueling techs like that
You can use it as a doorstop so it doesn't hit your username on the way out!PlayStation is the only gaming device we need
Should be banned or at least we should only link archives of their articles. They are a cancer to this industry.Don't care about Phil either way, but fuck ANYONE who does anything to help Kotaku cling to life. I'm not clicking or reading any articles from them.
But they have for years. Fvck off
Always has been.What a fucking piece of shit.
The whole Xbox family is starting to stink really bad, it really is the cancer of gaming.
Good thing there is no such thing as a store accountunlike their store account.
They bumped heads often over games one of the bigger ones I have said before here so not revealing anything new is the Halo Infinite first screening for them and Mike actually chuckled and asked where the real trailer was and Phil green lit itCan you elaborate on what some of these ideas were? I remember a report in Windows Central about an Achievement system overhaul that was like a career XP sort of thing and it looked pretty awesome and in depth.
We are still waiting for Achievements to be improved on , they even said this in late 2021
Achievements "top of mind for us as we look to the road ahead," says Xbox's Jason Ronald
Xbox director of program management, Jason Ronald, recently spoke on the Iron Lords Podcast about the last 20 years of Xbox, the most notable of which was Game DVR and the achievement system.www.trueachievements.com
Jason Ronald hasn’t said a word about it since
That's fucked up, man....Can we give him a gamepass?

It's losing subscribers, not growing.As long they keep gamepass going and growing it. They should be fine. I would had agree to this, but since kotaku brought it up. Then nah, Xbox must be doing something right then
They bumped heads often over games one of the bigger ones I have said before here so not revealing anything new is the Halo Infinite first screening for them and Mike actually chuckled and asked where the real trailer was and Phil green lit it
Mike said he told Phil they couldn't release that and these comments were made to a few of us before the actual reveal
Mike wanted Xbox to go super heavy into BRs once PUBG started popping off and pretty sure that was before Fortnite and Phil wasn't interested
Mike HATED interacting with the Xbot zealots of the world and did his best not to attend the silly luncheons but he has gotten together with actual gaming friends but those pic didn't need to be on social medias
Mike did think that remote play would be huge for Xbox and would let me (and a couple of others) have access to his home consoles and let people play his games on Mixer while he was at work
That last move got a guy perma banned for Xbox for putting Mikes ultra rare cars from Forza for sale then buying them on his private account
Phil bros its getting worse
I have said this here before but leading into this gen I was able to speak and even game with Phil in a friend no PR type of setting and the guy really loves what he does and really does love Xbox as a brandThanks for the info
And interestingly they tried to blame the pandemic for that poor Halo showing when the lockdowns had only come into effect a couple of months beforehand.
He hyped Crackdown 3 and wanted the IP to the in the same ball park as the likes of Gears. The game was…well it’s there for everyone to experience I’ll say that much.
I’m tired of the circus surrounding this guy , all I ever wanted was Xbox to be as good if not better then Sony and then Sony try to do better then then, vice versa, you know, strive to be the best for our time and money. Unfortunately certain people and influencers twist that as “toxic console war” because they know Xbox isn’t bringing it.
When was this? If anything it had flat line? Maybe 1mil of them crazy hardcore use to be Xbox fans like jumping ship liken TimDog. But most ppl that don’t care bout that, that like game pass and got game pass on pc. Gamepass should be fineIt's losing subscribers, not growing.
Is it time for fresh blood? Maybe. Phil has done a lot of good things.
Phil is a victim of not being a profit-thirsty sociopath in an industry that demands it.
He probably doesn't like what games Microsoft offers.Can we give him a gamepass?
Fuck me
11 years…
I still think he's the best man for the job right now. Xbox is in uncharted territory in terms of transitioning from being a platform holder, running a major sub, planning a PC UI, all while a lot of customer demographic and development cost elements in gaming are just as rapidly shifting for everyone. They're literally in the middle of a transformation of every aspect of their business, that he's executing. Would be pretty ridiculous to put in a new person in the middle of that. Not sure what anyone realistically expects to happen there.
Tango will go down as the worst thing under his tenure though. Even the Xbox console dying itself is not that big a deal when they'll be positioned on PC.
Once they've transitioned to a fully 3rd party publisher, it's not going to really matter who runs it. Every 3rd party publisher CEO is the same. Profit driven entirely, and looks to new trends. That's all that will be left to do and they'll get someone else.
Well they could put in an interim CEO like Sony did right now. Personally I dont think it would be an improvement.Yes, the best man for the job of using Phil Spencer's arm to pass a torch over to a new man would be, coincidentally, Phil Spencer
