Phil has run the show at Xbox for almost 10 years. I for one can't wait to see how he spent these last 10 years developing a CoD alternative.

This is not his product mate.
Floppatents is getting angry and blocking those who prove him wrong even from his camp
he deleted instantly after being proved wrong

Gaz said he is a lawyer in the thick of all that (and actually sounded like he knew what he was talking about) - so what the fuck is he doing dick riding Xbox instead of actually working and earning a wage?This must be more of the infamous Xbox Civil War. Imagine being such a fanatic shill you make Gaz look rational by comparison.
I refuse to believe the studio that made something as awesome as Prey, also made this. I'm waiting for someone to reveal this is an elaborate hoax.
Seems that is really the best "gotcha" folks can come up with.
He is doing parody videos by acting like dumb internet guy.Gaz said he is a lawyer in the thick of all that (and actually sounded like he knew what he was talking about) - so what the fuck is he doing dick riding Xbox instead of actually working and earning a wage?

That might be true, but he must worry about his rep surely? Would you want the same guy who sang ‘PHILLLL SPEEEENCAAAAAAAA’ representing you?He is doing parody videos by acting like dumb internet guy.
He is the guy who makes money from certain people, like how girls sell feet pictures to those people.
News to me tooGaz is a lawyer? This is news to me, have never heard them say that and they don't give off the presence they are a lawyer. Maybe he is a Twitter lawyer like Post Up?
If it puts bread in the house why not.That might be true, but he must worry about his rep surely? Would you want the same guy who sang ‘PHILLLL SPEEEENCAAAAAAAA’ representing you?![]()
Correction: He took the blame without actually taking the blame!He took the blame for it on X-Cast. His division pushed to buy the company. It's kind of his product.
Yeah that's what I thought too.This is a very good point! Nobody thought of this before.
Not sure what the actual legal ramifications are, but this is worth talking about.
Arkane belongs to his company, so he has to take responsibility for their mess.He took the blame for it on X-Cast. His division pushed to buy the company. It's kind of his product.
I enjoyed his Redfall review.If it puts bread in the house why not.
Even though some of his stuff is annoying , there are few skits that are funny as hell.

Is Gaz not that fanatic that screamed Phil Spencer's name in song?
They are infighting it seems. Endgame stuff.
So no counter argument?
And you don’t mind the incompetence by the CMA? I’ll bet if this was a few months ago and the CMA was using this misrepresentation of data to determine if cloud or console competition was the biggest concern, you’d be a lot more vocal.
Maybe you’ll have an argument for the next one, but I’d imagine it’d just be another “this is the best you can come up with.”

If it's such a great deal, we will see ABK make all these deals now. ABK will make so much more money and they can hire the Xbox developers who will be able to run the latest COD on the Switch. ABK now with a roadmap to an extra 150m players
The thing about all these 10 year deals is that CMA flatly says in their ruling that Microsoft is only doing this shit to get regulatory approval. Previously Microsoft yanked games off of Geforce Now after they bought Bethesda, but then suddenly Nvidia is getting a 10 year deal.

The game happened before the deal.LOL - MATE
His Twitter engagement is crazy.I enjoyed his Redfall review.

MS was the one making all these consumer-friendly deals.
Microsoft also let Bethesda's games on Amazon's Luna and PS Plus post acquisition.
If someone's gonna say "but that was likely because of pre-existing contracts", we should apply that to any contracts with Geforce Now as well.

No, we shouldn't because Microsoft could have offered Nvidia a contract instead of yanking the games and did not. If Amazon didn't have a contract same shit would have happened. CMA is right. Microsoft is doing this only to impress regulators. When 10 years are up.....

I have a serious question, do some of y'all like keep a google doc with all the names and what they have done over the years? No seriously, every time someone from twitter comes up, either you, or deep or someone else immediately has a rap sheet ready for what the once said year(s) back![]()
I mean the internet is largely indexed so it's not that hard.I have a serious question, do some of y'all like keep a google doc with all the names and what they have done over the years?

News to me too
Man just turned it on to make floflo look even dumber.
Arkane belongs to his company, so he has to take responsibility for their mess.
But the game happened before they acquired them. So this mess is not his fault, as he did everything he can for them to fix it (delayed for 1 year).
This is all on Bethesda who forced them to do MP game, instead of actually doing what they are good at.

Yeah, that sounds like it would be him. And personally I'm enjoying the infighting, lets us see the actual limits of some of these influencers and cappers.

Couldn't find the correct one, but found this.
His redfall on the other hand
He is weird one.
Those who get sent the odd gift and private discord invite vs those who are actually on the payroll.

Thank youThe game happened before the deal.

I looked him up a few years ago for something I can't remember. Found him on his employer website. Said he is a "solicitor". What is that in the UK?
n the UK, the role of a solicitor is to take instructions from clients, including individuals, groups, public sector organisations or private companies, and advise them on necessary courses of legal action. As a solicitor, you would work closely with clients and are likely to be their first point of contact.
Cancelling a platform doesn't create that atrocious game. All it does is lessen the burden for the team.This would be true, if the studio head didn't reveal that Microsoft intervened and told them to cancel the PS5 version once MS finalized the acquisition.
I don't think forcing the team to suddenly change platform (and probably direction) midway through development is "fixing" the problem. If anything it might have created the problem.
It was before the acquisition. They cancelled dishonored 3 to make deathloop.Well, where is Bethesda/Zenimax getting their funding? Does Pete Hines not have to go through Phil Spencer for certain approvals? They fall under Microsoft Gaming now, which Phil Spencer runs.
RedFall's problems are almost 100% traceable back to lack of time and funding. You can see it almost everywhere in the game. Unfinished animations, unfinished textures, placeholder explosions, explosions that make literally no logical sense, horrid texture and shadow pop-in, certain houses having full interaction and most others not, placeholder and duplicated bullet hole effects, still comic panel cutscenes more at place in As Dusk Falls than a AAA FPS game, etc. The team's previous games, like Dishonored 2, never had these issues. Those all scream budget and resources (labor) limitations, those things would fall under Microsoft Gaming's wheelhouse.
Phil Spencer's wheelhouse.
Ironically enough, Apple is probably one of the few companies that have most of the key things that make for a great console/gaming ecosystem contender. unlike Microsoft, they not only have taste, but they have vast experience in making strong hardware at a profit and excellence in supply chains. They can probably support a cloud-approach too if needed.I'd rather they take their low standards non gamer asses over to Apple Arcade. Go ruin whatever the fuck that is for all I care.

You, while not notable, I only remember because of your persistence.
And?Thank you
Redfall was announced during the Xbox and Bethesda E3 2021 showcase on June 13, 2021.[6][7] The game was developed by Arkane Studios at their Austin, Texas locations,[1][5][8] with Roundhouse Studios providing additional assistance and support.[9] Co-Creative Director Ricardo Bare stated that the game will continue Arkane's tradition of making each game different from the last, but will still focus on deep worldbuilding and inventive game mechanics.[4] On May 12, 2022, it was announced that the release was delayed to the first half of 2023.[10] Redfall released on May 2, 2023.[11] The PlayStation 5 version was cancelled after Microsoft acquired Bethesda Softworks.[12]

They couldn't even hit 60fps with all that focus.Less platforms to worry about for focused development *and* working to remove the online only requirement for single player.
They're hitting all the best notes for Redfall in this preview cycle.
