With Jim Ryan gone can we now get rid of Phil Spencer too? Both guys don't understand what gamers truly want and are both just guys in suits and both PlayStation and Xbox need leaders who actually care for games as Jim and Phil don't care for games.

You cannot be serious
He’s EVP of gaming at Microsoft and head of Xbox. PlayStation are rivals. So is Nintendo. They’ll compete.

That’s a whole lot different from “Spencer hates Ryan and consistently slanders him”.

PlayStation =/= Jim Ryan.
Xbox =/= Phil Spencer

Nobody is saying these companies won't and don't compete. Try again.

I'd like you to show me when and where Reggie ever bad mouthed his competitors in public.

 

[Ozriel]

Maybe because we have threads every five minutes when Phil does something.

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.

I mean, the majority of the threads aren’t complimentary, and I’m not sure Microsoft PR is paying people here to lift his tweets and turn them into threads.

Threads that many of those who claim to hate hearing from him enthusiastically contribute to.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Jimbo becoming Head of Xbox, upon Phil The Gamer™'s retirement next year after Microsoft's acquisition of Sony, confirmed.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

What a bell end.

 

[SirTerry-T]

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.

Bloody hell pal, have a sit down and ask your mum for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Phil Spencer. The guy who plays an embarrassing number of hours in Destiny and holds staff meetings inside Elder Scrolls Online doesn’t actually play games?

Get real

 

[StealthGoblin]

He didn't say he didn't play games. Christ.

He doesn't what gamers want.

Oh, and he's a lying shitbag.

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

Oh yes they should just stick to cookie cutter third person cinematic games. That make no money beyond month two. Where GaaS can actually fund those cookie cutter games you desire. Go touch grass.

 

[Sub_Level]

What a bell end.

Bloody hell pal, have a sit down and ask your mum for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Brexit means Brexit innit.

 

[Negotiator101]

Phil Spencer has commented on Jim Ryan departure:

Guy is all class.

 

[Hudo]

Bloody hell pal, have a sit down and ask your mum for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

Dude's not wrong tho. Both Jim and Phil are assholes.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Today I learned differentiating your company from another in an interview is personally slandering the CEO of your competition

Classy response from Phil.

Per usual

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Phil Spencer should start his YouTube channel at this point.

 

[Punished Miku]

Phil Spencer should start his YouTube channel at this point.

GAF would make it a huge channel I'm sure. Could just leave a camera running in his house.

"Phil just brushed his teeth. Here's 20 pics"
"Phil wrote an email to someone. I analyzed the audio and heard 316 keystrokes. Acquisition!?"
"Phil went to bed at 830 PM tonight instead of 9PM. Big announcement tomorrow!?"

 

[Lucifers Beard]

So what? Who gives a shit about what Phil has said about Jim Ryan? Is there going to be a new thread for everything he does? ‘Phil Spencer took a shit this morning but didn’t flush.’

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

Do this guy ever shut up on twitter?

Do you ever shut up here? Stupid comment....

 

[King Dazzar]

Phil Spencer. The guy who plays an embarrassing number of hours in Destiny and holds staff meetings inside Elder Scrolls Online doesn’t actually play games?

Get real

Yeah, but he also said Crackdown 3 was great and allowed Redfail out the door with its trousers still around its ankles. Anyone can pick up a controller.

Phils a gamer he wears a gamer t shirt.

Yes. Unfortunately there will be multiple threads that represent each paragraph from the main article.

I wonder, EviLore is there a way to mitigate threads like that?

This just in…..Sony hires…..PHIL SPENCER

[adamsapple]

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

When did Phil ever slander and lie about Jim in public? or vice versa for that matter.

 

[BbMajor7th]

Can UNCLE PHIL even compete with COUSIN ERIC youngness charisma? A man who is a True Gamer Like Us ?

You better watch out Phil.

Not impossible. Andrew House had a background in marketing and he did well. He would be the first American to take the top job though.

 

[GHG]

When did Phil ever slander and lie about Jim in public?

Been through this already Adam.

It's ok, Phil won't disown you, I'm sure he whispers in your ear every night how much he really dislikes Jim.

 

[Farawayfromhell]

The truth is that he doesn't give a shit, but the political response is a must in these situations.
It's like this for all people, we are not obliged to feel empathy.

You can argue that Phil is a poor CEO / leader but to argue that he doesn't care for games is ridiculous lol. He has more interest in and plays more games than any CEO I've ever seen.

 

[ComputerBlue]

From one douche to another.

 

[Fake]

Jim Ryan has been a great contributor to our industry as Phil Spencer

FTFY

 

[JackMcGunns]

Lies of P


Haha, just kidding, pretty classy of him.

The guy would have been better off staying silent on an individual level and letting Xbox PR handle it.

None of these opinions are even remotely in the realm of "Slander."

The persecution complex is real.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

After mostly destroying the industry with those acquisitions, why don't you just...

 

[Dolomite]

Nah Phil plays TF out of video games. Is he still a suit? Yes
Can you find him playing Diablo on the weekdays? Absolutely you can

 

[Trogdor1123]

I think people would be shocked that these c level suites actually don’t hate each other.

 

[mansoor1980]

I think people would be shocked that these c level suites actually don’t hate each other.

yes they do

 

[analog_future]

Looking for this destroyed industry you're talking about

 

[GHG]

None of these opinions are even remotely in the realm of "Slander."

The persecution complex is real.

What other circumstance prompts an individual to need to publicly "set the record straight"? I'll wait.

Regarding the bold, don't we know it.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Bring on the next CEO - Phil Spencer

 

[FoxMcChief]

Classy response from Phil.

Phil is class. He’s the teacher. He built the school the class is in. He founded the land the school was built on.

 

[Negotiator101]

Phil is class. He’s the teacher. He built the school the class is in. He founded the land the school was built on.

And long may he reign.

 

[Mr.NiceGuy]

This good guy facade is not working anymore (Well maybe only on the XBox fanatics)

WE'VE READ THE LEAKED EMAILS, and these are only a small part (What about other emails and calls that are not covered on the trial?)

We know the real person, we know the other face.

The guy is certified console warrior, he is terminally on line, he is online right now reading console warring discourse and feeling himself.

If he is classy as some deluded people say he wouldn't empower trashy human beings like Colt and Timdog who have been slandering the guy since the news came about his retirement.

The least he can do if he is a decent human being is to call off his lapdogs on social media from spreading FUD and misinformation and character assassination on his retirement announcement day.

But that is asking too much from Phil.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Phony response from Phil.

Fixed

 

[X-Wing]

He was quick to celebrate Ryan’s departure. Probably felt threatened.

[Rocco Schiavone]

Phil Spencer on Jim Ryan's retirement:

No matter who Phil competes against, it's only enough for third place either way.

 

[Saber]

Do you ever shut up here? Stupid comment....

I do, usually when the theme is not of my interest. Can't say that about your lover though, he doesn't shut up. I mean, I'm ok with him talkinv about his competition(its an important matter), but what about other useless stuff? He is way too talkative on twitter.

 

[Loope]

Fuck off phil you cant have his job and work for a real gaming company

 

[FunkMiller]

If these corporate toads spent as much time on creating high quality games for the consumer as they do on sucking each other's dicks at how great they all are at business, the gaming industry would be in a much better state.

Ryan's a greedy cunt, and you're clueless Phil. Both of you being gone would be a good thing for all of us.
