Why are you doing this to this man? He's just doing his job.

Crazy that people believed this. "Yea we are announcing ports of our games to PlayStation and putting on a direct to talk about it but it's just Pentiment"

We could have dates for each quote, so we can have a timeline of xbox downfall as a brand.

He knows he got his ass kicked and is changing course to try and make money

It's amusing seeing the true believers narratives change along with Phil's. Especially when you can go back to those threads.
They are getting into the 'acceptance' stage of the grief scale.

To be fair to Phil, he has bosses he has to report to and take marching orders from. I don’t think he envisioned all this. If Xbox wasn’t doing so badly they wouldn’t have ported shit. Nutella told him to wave the white flag. Buying ABK buried them in payroll.

If you're not trolling, most of GAF does this for every employee or boss that is disliked here, even to go as far as pulling up their linkedin info or other information.
I don't get it myself, but I guess it is allowed

10 years of loosing and having to tell the lie that you are winning will do that to someone.

Evangelical, even.
This was a popular avatar on GAF 11 somewhat years ago. Americans buy Xbox not Playstation, right? The Spencer campaign back then was something else.
Cult of personality.

I guess you can look at two different pieces of shit and decent which is better. I’d still walk away from them both.

Is Phil Spencer the best Playstation executive ever? He's crushed Playstations competition single handedly in just 2 generations.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: When you're a platformholder and you start talking about unwalled gardens, you've lost the fucking plot.

Well, Phil had a strategy but it failed. Then Satya came in and put his foot down. Though it’s fair to ask why Phil hasn’t been replaced when he is implementing a strategy he doesn’t seem to be a fan of.

He hasn’t lost the plot so much as lost the war and trying not to get executed

The Obama effect. Most people in high positions or in war age like crazy in just a few years. Look at the before and after for soldiers in foreign missions or politicians on a second mandate.
I bet Phil can't wait to retire tbh.

There were variants like "In Phil Spencer we trust" as well, I remember people spamming posts what a cool guy he is and how they would love to have a beer with him. Their transparency consists to this day.

Yeah, that's some presidential level of aging over managing video games lol.
To be fair, if theyre under Microsoft payroll astroturfing then its acceptableIt's amusing seeing the true believers narratives change along with Phil's. Especially when you can go back to those threads.
They are getting into the 'acceptance' stage of the grief scale.
But if theyre not,then they're like having some sort of mystery mental illness and it sucks to be them

What time is it?
Is it because of my poor timing?

Same thought. I may think he’s a retard who shouldn’t be in charge of Xbox but I don’t wish death on him. He looks sick… like going through chemo sick.

Phil Spencer didn't age well.
He hasn't really answered the value proposition of why anyone should choose an Xbox next-gen - but perhaps they'll do something new and that's to come.
The concern I want him to address is, so there are no first party exclusives, but for those who do buy a next-gen Xbox, how do you guarantee them third party games? Some are already skipping the Series X. What happens when the next console sells 1/4 of what the S/X does? How do they keep third party games launching on the platform with such a small install base?

They can’t. And the series S existing will force this scenario to be more devs like black myth wukong skipping the Xbox entirely.
The Xbox will become the uneducated chud bro way of playing sports games and call of duty. Nothing else.
