Some people on here are way too invested in these CEOs and what they do and and don't say...
It was a nice and respectful thing to say from one very successful competitive player to another in the same industry and some of the reactions
So many venomous hissing snakes...

It's a thread about a CEO commenting on another CEO. What did you expect people will talk about in here?
There's two possibilities:
1. Maybe reduce the countless "Phil Spencer said" threads to one single Phil Spencer OT
or
2. Just accept that this is not an echo chamber and that users can state their opinion freely even it is not in favor of the CEO of a multibillion dollar business
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
how it should be

I bet that those people would also complain if he said nothing. Then it would be like he has no class/respect/spine.

Grab a coffee, sit down, relax while I give him a call and tell him: "X-wing wants you to shut up. Do it now!" Can't promise anything, though.
Edit: He was a bit pissed off I woke him up. But then he asked: "Is it the X-wing Jek Tono Porkins was riding?" Is it?

It does get tiresome when a simple quote gets turned into sinister plots and insults and just general hate after year and years of reading it from both sides.
Instead of getting butthurt or triggered I see the funny side and post silly shit like the snake gif is there a problem with that?
Also please show me in my post where I said people can't post their opinions.

Well its a bit annoying that he needs to put everything in a PR spin. If he feels that way make a call and tell jim that at least on a phone instead of try to do this into a pr win. Its dishonest and one reason so many people don't like him.

How does any of this translate to a 'PR win'? Ryan would do the same if it was Spencer retiring. His counterpart retiring is an infrequent occurrence, and it's crazy weird to read anything into it.
You think people are going "Spencer said something nice about Ryan so I'm going to buy an Xbox"?

Ryan didn't interact with social media at all so I don't know where you at.
No but its for the nice guy personality some people have him like a hero or something.
Two different leaders, different personalities. Neither of them has to be modeled on the other
Spencer also sent similar messages when Reggie retired from Nintendo, as did Shawn Layden, the then PlayStation boss
For some strange reason, none of you got really upset then
Easily counterbalanced here by the sheer number of folks who have him as Belzeebub or something

Fuck Ryan and Phil equally. Both gaming cancer, solely interested in monopoly building, chasing anti-consumer trends like GAAS and DRM, instead of focusing on making great games and platforms with proper respect for the medium.

Maybe the difference is that other leaders don't talk on any possibilty. Well I dont think the last part is true. No one should ever romanticize any executive. So no thinking of a cooperation as a hero is stupid.

When did Reggie ever slander and lie about Layden in public?

Are you joking? Phil has constantly been in the press bad mouthing Playstation and their business strategies since the turn of the generation.
When someone has to come out in public in order to "set the record straight" what do you think is going on?

Maybe because we have threads every five minutes when Phil does something.Two different leaders, different personalities. Neither of them has to be modeled on the other

I'm sure there's a thread for every time he tweets something. It's almost a meme at this point.
People rolling their eyes at something or someone is a natural reaction, when said person is being shoved in their face constantly.
