So exactly what they used to do? Interesting.
Microsoft overall is such a joke.

Why is he closing studios for the sake of the business if according to him whilst gloating to Shaggy in the interview, it’s all rosey .
You watch that interview, it’s so phoney and scripted. His answer to closing down Tango
“So we can have more shows like this one “
That’s a slimy answer in itself.
The truth is he’s far more outspoken than other executives in the business yet the others let their content do the talking.
He questioned the notion about building great games to see momentum shift last year and now he’s bragging about great games.
If this horrible reign of his is going to continue, can we get to a point where they do the same and the games do the talking for them??
Don’t people in the Industry see through this guy?
For as much as I don’t like Ryan you could see in brief moments he wasn’t too impressed in what he was hearing whilst reading the script on the laptop.

Phil is a piece of shit. He never states facts, just bullshit. He has perfected gaslighting.

Think you meant the "witless" protection program.
Would explain spencer, booty, greenberg, bond all still having jobs there.
Lots of fans as well.

The only thing this used car salesman gives a shit about is his "career moments".
Remember his thoughts about acquiring Nintendo?

Weird timing, especially after a universally well received showing. If ever it was a time to let the games have the spotlight, as opposed to him. This was the time.

I was just thinking of that the other day when this post went up. How, not so long ago, you couldn't say a bad word (ie. make a valid criticism) about Phil without being jumped by multiple posters. Now, there's still some hold-outs, but it's great to see most people can clearly see him for what he is.

You are conflating two very different things.
Xbox cross platform works on literally every other game, as evidenced by your own post, lmao. It is a global toggle. This toggle does not work on Warzone unless your Activision ID is tied to PSN...including on an Xbox console. This is well known within the Warzone community. Not a secret, not an erroneous accusation.
Helluva gotcha there, pal

It’s not to ‘give players choice‘ its to try to make back their investment for insane gaming budgets.

Player's choice. Good one Phil. Can't wait for the documentary, on how his decision-making destroyed the Xbox platform.

Imagine if Sony was in Microsoft's position. How would that play out? Past practice is one thing, but if Sony owned all of those studios, today it would all be exclusive to Sony's console. for at least a year. There would be twice as many money hats too. Let's be real. CoD would have several exclusive missions and maps.

Herpaderp, I knew this was coming but you know the truth. The exclusives for CoD happened without them even owning them and recently too.

That imaginary reality of yours doesn't exist. What does exist is over a decade worth of data points of Phil single handily destroying the Xbox brand.

It's a policy, you need to turn it off in the settings on the console. Same with every other Xbox cross-play game. Fucking Sony.You are conflating two very different things.

Phil is generous like that.
He owns the damn thing but won’t punish anyone for playing on other platforms.
Sony doesn’t own a lot of ips yet don’t allow them to even come to Xbox. Beyond slimy.

Uhm. How many E3s did we have where basically all of the Xbox showcase was "console launch exclusive"? I.e. bought timed exclusivity?

It's just Phil "salesman" Spencer trying to sell you more nonsense. After a decade of his marketing bullshit I have come to accept his PR speak for what it is: a constant stream of "we hear you" crap without any action that actually follows that otherwise meaningless statement. And now they're suddenly not doing console-exclusive content anymore and even calling the exact thing they've been doing for over two decades "slimy"? So done with this.

If you actually think that Phil Spencer is releasing COD on more platforms out of the kindness of his heart and not to increase revenue to keep the shareholders happy, then his brainwashing PR speak bullshit is working as intended.

He can do slimy things atleast.
Exclusives are going out of fashion. Everyone has stopped doing them. Except Nintendo, for now.

He isn't even doing that with Doom. Why would he with CoD? Either way, Phil has been in charge for 10 years and Sony has done more money hats in the last couple of years than he's done in the last 10. Hasn't every game gone to PC and/or Nintendo and Sony in the last 10 years? If Phil and MS did everything in their power to prop up Xbox, it would SUCK. Funny that haters will say Phil was the downfall of Xbox but if he wasn't allowing Xbox games to go day 1 to PC, and allow Minecraft on Switch/PS5, etc. it would be a raw deal for gamers overall. Let's continue to feign ignorance when it comes to what Sony would do with MS money.
