Dangerously based

 

[wipeout364]

I am amazed at how triggered the Sony Fans are. I wonder if Deathloop has anything about being on gamepass or is Sony's exclusive just for sales? If it's free on game pass but not actually for sale does that bypass the exclusivity agreement?

Toguro Spencer. So far he is using only 45% of his power.

If the biggest mega corp focused on killing all competition wins means we all win right?

 

[DESTROYA]

He hasn't won anything yet, he has made some great decisions for gamers but time will tell how successful they are in a year or two.

 

[dezzy8]

I hope that this is a joke thread.

 

[Memorabilia]

oh please, justing spending billions to buy up studios and ips to turn them into exclusives is no effort

The salt and jealousy just dripping off the first response is amazing.

 

[tillbot8]

This man right here:

A guiding light for the industry, a true pioneer and innovator, the brave captain who steered the Xbox wheel back on the right track and made it relevant again... while also being an absolute chad.

It's an absolute honor to live in the same time as Phil.

Salute!

I cringe when Sony fanboys put corporate suits on a pedestal who don't give a rat's ass about them. I crime when Xbox fanboys do the same. The thread is cringe of the highest order!

For now, he's bleeding Microsoft billions of dollars. If the gamepass fails, the Microsoft's game division is going to be in a very big trouble, because they'll have to "feed" too many game studios without the retail sales income.

Multiply $15 X 15 million.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Please be satire...

 

[alabtrosMyster]

why is this a thread

Some people draw blood to this guy's name.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Multiply $15 X 15 million.

225 millions... maybe enough for 2 AAA games (if you pay no taxes, nothing to any third parties, no marketing, or overhead of any kind).

Many of these 15 million are sill on the 1$a month plan or some other promotion.

This is not as much as it seems.

 

[J____Av]

We already know if this was about Sony almost everyone in here would be jumping for joy.

Not really comparable. While this is HUGE for Microsoft, they have a history of ruining studios they buy and Sony has a history of improving studios they buy.

 

[nemiroff]

If you reply in this thread with a straight face then I feel sorry for you. But it IS entertaining I have to admit..

 

[digoutyoursoul]

LOL Nice

In a serious note

No where near the Peter Moore era. Prove it with a momentum of high quality games and not having to put with "wait till E3" shit every few months, constant promises that leave people underwhelmed & disappointed time and again.

he should be called out for only having Halo Infinite as the single big release from them around a new console. It's not been good enough and if it was PlayStation I'd say exactly the same.

 

[BeforeU]

lol come on guys

 

[The_Dama]

Phil is the best. With a huge budget and a vision like him, Xbox Game pass will be the Netflix of games and others will try to follow.

 

[KingT731]

Multiply $15 X 15 million.

Strictly from a finance aspect you can't do that. They still have to pay the 3rd party devs on GamePass and we don't know what the slice is from that.

 

[ZippyTheOtter]

Even if he "wins", I'm still laughing at him

 

[Shrap]

The guy has lied his ass off for years, overpromised and underdelivered on an annual basis and apparently didn't keep an eye on Halo Infinite this whole time. He's been in charge for over half a decade and has been next to useless for the entire time.

He has yet to "triumph" and is far from past doubt.

Plus he's a corporate wanker.

[BRZBlue]

I'm going to laugh my ass off if MS ends up micromanaging Bethesda into a 343i situation, and we're left with more Halo Infinite style debacles.

I mean, MS has been completely unable to keep their hallmark franchise and possibly their most important IP from turning into an absolute shitshow over the course of several years and has been unable to course correct. Pardon me if I'm not exactly confident in their ability to run big studios with big IP very well, LOL.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Spencer is definitely the best thing to happen to Xbox since the 360 days. Best of all, he has the total and complete backing of Nadella. Xbox Series X (and Series S) are going to be so freaking awesome and then, add in the 22 first party studios and holy shit, can't wait!!!

7 more weeks to go from tomorrow. I need time to go faster. lmao.

Well, I've consistently been making fun of the trademark Bethesda jank for a while.
Truth is, Skyrim still is a fun game and I was looking forward to play the next ES on two platforms eventually. Now, it will have to be just PC.

To be honest Bethesda products are really not my thing and so I've not really been keeping up! Just seem to recall a lot of people bagging on the last Fallout and "lyin' Todd" for quite a while

Not saying that they aren't popular, worthy or whatever, but I have bought 1 Zenimax published game this gen, and I didn't finish it.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Press "F".

 

[night13x]

Is this another "I feel bad for Microsoft, so I'm going to shitpost sony and make MS look great again?" post? Asking for a friend.

 

[In Your Vase]

Phil Spencer has the superhuman ability to spend other people's money, an ability no one else could ever hope to attain or match, deserves praise

 

[CitizenX]

All money no talent, the circus barker.

That's kinda what Sony does sort of. instead of improving psn from the ps plus funds. They buy spiderman exclusive dlc on a crappy marvel game just to keep it off Xbox.

 

[HonkingTonk]

I don't know what's sadder, the OP that is a lazily made piece of bait thats blatantly obvious, or the amount of people in this thread that have taken it at face value and are replying to it seriously.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Even if you are a massive MS fan...the guy is the second coming Jesus because...they made their next console Netflix gaming, no first party exclusives in any near future and they bought 1 studio. I dont see how that put Xbox back on the map.

 

[The Pleasure]

Phil Spencer

Like dragon ball z we will see the fruits of his labor in 5-15 years.

Throw that bitch in the time chamber. 1 hour, tops.

 

[Apocryphon]

Too early to celebrate anybody or any company. MS have a lot to prove this gen and it does indeed look like they have learned some important lessons, but this shit is only just beginning.

 

[The Pleasure]

Throw that bitch in the time chamber. 1 hour, tops.

The Super Sonic Rhyme chamber only works for people who spit bars. It won't help Phil Spencer. The whiter you are, the less bars you can spit. That's the rules.

 

[M16]

they cant follow because ms will have owned all the studios

[smallpotatosan]

It takes skills to convince the boss to complete the acquisition. Trust me. It ain't easy

 

[Mokus]

Multiply $15 X 15 million.

I think that you forgot a dot there: $1.5 X 15 million.

 

[LOLCats]

I never doubted him I've been in Phils camp the whole time.

I absolutely cannot say the same thing for the playstation leadership, especially Playstation America... and it makes me sad.

 

[DonF]

Bro, they (Ms) gave him unlimited money, time, everything!! And when he showed them what he did with all of it...they went "yeah, just take this 7 billions and buy this publisher"
It's the opposite! He made nothing, he bought someone else's homework and you are giving him an A+.

 

[Uhtred]

And then multiply that by 12

 

[Aladin]

It is a big personal achievement for Phil. Fruits of toil, the management believes xbox is in good hands. ❤

 

[Kumomeme]

i wont call by just make big acquisition of existing successfull company/studio is 'triumph' LOL

triumph is when someone is winning

next gen not even yet started. the competition, the race not even begin. dont quickly declare anything when nothing is start.

we only will know after next 5 years


also, i doubt xbox division would resort to this if their first party studios is already competent at beginning.

 

[Self High Five]

while also being an absolute chad.
