There's still the disastrous Series sales that keep getting worse every month and a stagnant GamePass.It would be kind of funny if the likes of Tom, Jeff and Jez are doing all this for engagement and nothing is really happening. MS announce remaining exclusive and a win is fabricated out of nothing.
I do think Tom and Jez do feel threatened if it were to happen though. There is no war reporter if the war is over. Nobody really follows a publisher mouthpiece. Do we have any EA or Ubisoft evangelists? Hence why I think Jez is siding with raging fanboys on the subject and Tom doing surveys to see how it will affect him if 'xbox news' didn’t really exist anymore.
OrAss of Can Whooping some medication maybe
He is talking about his team of shills
YesWithout looking... a jez cordon piece?
Oh I wouldn't try to put you on pills. I think aerosol piped through the air handling system without your knowledge would be more reasonable at first. Then once you're unconscious and compliant administer intravenously. But since I'm not a doctor this could never happen, so don't worry.I told my parents to fuck off when they tried to put me on pills and i'll do the same to you
Ol jezzy doo doo fatty poo poo
Shill money is going to dry up when MS are third party, but angry former xbox console owners will still generate him ad revenue.ironically he was one of the first to break the news, since that article though he’s seemingly been siding with the raging fanboys on Twitter
I guess he figures their clicks are more valuable then whatever Microsoft was giving him?
Meh. Xbox already has games on other platforms and it is known that some Bethesda games would be and games coming from ABK. I do not understand the big deal over this.
If all Xbox published games go onto other consoles, I can see a strategy that can work and keep Xbox consoles relevant:
1. Still have day one release on GamePass
2. Release on other consoles 6 months - 1 year after initial release (similar to PS's strategy for releasing PC games).
If they start releasing all Xbox Games day one on other consoles, with GamePass still being, then to me it is a sign that we are entering Xbox's last cycle of consoles. Would stink, but it is what it is. I am not going to lose sleep over it or cry about it.
Not surprised in the fullness of time you have been proven correct.Looking back it was in 2020 I had a post removed about this very thing happening and got a message saying wahh wahh wahh and console warring

So Microsoft delaying games to be day and date isn't an issue ok lol? So if indy,avowed and hell blade2 could of been 2023 games but playstation versions delayed them to 2024 that being cool to those who paid hundreds for xbox hardware?I prefer playing on my Series X over my PS5.. I have no reason to be mad that more gamers get good games..it's how it should be.
That's the first sensible thing you've ever saidI'd like to first see it officially confirmed before we decide what we should be feeling.
This!I'd like to first see it officially confirmed before we decide what we should be feeling.
^ lol trolls are delusionalWhat competitive impact? There is no fucking competition. Xbox is dead. If this was football, the score would be 500-0 to PlayStation. That's why Microsoft are doing this. Don't be mad, jez. Go have a cheeseburger.
Tom Warren?The real CEO has spoken

Why Microsoft might be considering Xbox exclusives on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch
Rumors have Xbox fans wondering what’s going on.www.theverge.com
It's simply come from a rumor about SOT and HiFi Rush possibly going to other platforms, that seems to be the long and short of it. Since then the rabid fanboys and clueless reporters have built it up to Microsoft becoming a 3rd party publisherThis!
I'm confused,as far as I know outside of Nadella saying something that elludes to them going multiplatform we don't have an OFFICIAL statement from Microsoft that it's happening even though by now we all kinda know something's going on.But still it's kinda weird to see sites jump on the news as if it's not still a rumor or speculation right now.
Phil Spencer made it a big deal during the FTC trial. His emails show he wanted every possible game taken away from Playstation, and being mad that he couldn't take Minecraft from Playstation because of the terms of Mojang acquisition contract.Meh. Xbox already has games on other platforms and it is known that some Bethesda games would be and games coming from ABK. I do not understand the big deal over this.

I've never picked what system / games I like based on popularity. I was all about Dreamcast and Wii U as well. I skipped Xbone because it looked bad and was overpriced. I got a PS5 first, but have barely used the thing. I am not interested in almost all the exclusives. Tried Series S on a whim and GP has been absolutely crushing it for 3 years. I just go where the stuff I want to play is. I can't make the masses have good taste.I really don't know why anyone would be a staunch Microsoft loyalist in the year 2024, to the point where they are likely going to get their heart broken in a few hours. I got an Xbox One early in its lifespan and it just sucked. So what did I do, I bought a PS4 and the PS4 was way better. Microsoft has been on a decade long losing streak and it's just kind of grim. It reminds me of the old Dodgers/Yankees rivalry of the 40s and 50s, except you can't really just switch teams and the Dodgers did eventually win. When you are cheering on a corporate acquisition, like time to look in the mirror.

Tom Warren?
I would most people would agree. The only time I’d disagree is if they stopped supporting their own console too which isn’t going to happen. I guess maybe it could signal that the next generation won’t happen and they will lose out on their library for the next generation? Maybe? Those would be valid concerns (to a degree imo) but if it’s only because others get to play, it’s silly and pretty selfish.They aren't.
What a stupid article.
Anyone who gets mad at the fact that a game they bought is not "exclusive for their platform" anymore is a fucking moron.
Jez taking steps for a new career as grief counselor...Huh, angry? I thought the orders were to say it's a good thing?
He is talking about his team of shills
Alternatively offer Sony/Bungie the option to develop the next game.Give me MCC on PS5

I'm not talking about former exclusives. Future first party output will absolutely be affected by multiplat development.No, they aren't.
There's literally nothing that gets subtracted from the quality of your experience with any given game if a former exclusive gets released on any other platform.

I thought that's what Nadella's been doing for the past 2 days now..This third party rumor has spiraled out of control. MS needs to go out and clarify, like right now. Either be frank and tell the fans what's up, or squash it now immediately. It's crazy that they are treating its fan base like this, letting this rumor fester so much on the Internet.
Aww, I didn't know you were keeping track.That's the first sensible thing you've ever said![]()
We don't even know what this looks like, if it's sea of theives and a bunch of older games, who cares.
People who notice that Xbox is being battered into the ground by its closest competitor?
