The only MS Game I've consistently played for years at this point and it's still got a fairly large active player bases near enough 5 years later (11/5/2021).

The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally

Shitposting is a crime, sir? Also I still believe what I've said and think that this piece is vastly overblown. Especially the whole codename shtick. Straight out of Jez's ass.

Microsoft is greedy as hell, ain't they? $3 trillion ain't enough
Not like Jez is the only one saying these things

Maybe. But define big?
Selling more copies on PS compared to Xbox is easy since the PS installbase is much larger, but overall it'll be decent at best.
I.e. selling 5M copies on Xbox isn't the same as selling 5M on PS, but it'd be decent on PS5 and likely profitable all the same.
Which is ultimately what matters to MS.

Figured this was over Xbox's head.. Funny you can have people in position of power that SHOULD be making decisions but ultimately get their hands tied behind their backs. What a shit show. Gaming is DOOMED. Great crash 2.0 here we come.

Platitude is far more fitting. Especially when everything that comes out of S. Bond's mouth is trite AND meaningless.

I kinda like that codename.
But "Insiders" pretending to know stuff or clout chaser just making stuff up?
Would really interest me what the long term plan is. Hook PS gamers and then phase out everything but CoD for PS6. Or MS actually aiming at merging with ABK and becoming a proper third party. Both seem not impossible. Or if neither works, selling and closing everything which is not beyond MS's playbook.

Phil's job is to run the department. That doesn't mean he should get to take his ideas and drive them forward without any input from the people above him. He (like everyone there) are "agents" in a Principal/Agent environment. They're all paid to perform a job, not to drive their personal agendas.
I get the feeling Phil and Nadella have solid communication. The changes we are seeing in Xbox strategy were probably discussed at length and agreed upon by both of them. Any rumors of resistance to these changes are probably from people further down the chain who are worried about losing their jobs, which is completely understandable.

Despite what I said above I don't really care where I play my games, I own multiple consoles. But it really does just feel like we are headed for some sort of crash though and not just Microsoft. My friend had been saying it for years but I always laugh it off, and now I finally feel like I see the potential for ruin with some of these decisions these companies are now making in gaming in general. Yuck.

Yeah, it seems like an unavoidable consequence of the corporate rule that profits and margins must always be increasing. If they aren't, you did something wrong, or the thing you have isn't worth it anymore. So the big corps buy up all the studios, squeeze them until they pop, get disappointed they can't grow infinitely, and then discard them.
Out of this crash, new smaller studios will get started by the most passionate and talented people. They'll make some great games, grow their studios, and years down the line the big corps will say "Hey, we should look at acquiring some of these game studios. Look at how well they're doing!"

I wouldn't mind double dipping on the MCC and I'd also take a gears 1-3 collection. Forza Horizon should also be great for people that haven't experienced it, though I'm still burned out after 4 and don't personally care.

I doubt MS has any plans to try and use exclusives as a wedge any time soon. I think they want to go what we currently consider 3rd party but they don't want it to look like the current system.

The extent of MS's creative prowess is making up cool-sounding names for their internal projects.
If they'd ever leveraged that creativity to actual games development, they probably wouldn't be the shit show they are currently.

Is it that difficult to raise the possibility that the people in charge did not do a good enough job with the platform?
Crazy I know, especially as some are still there to this day.

I think the sooner everyone realizes that what is good for Microsoft, is not necessarily good for Xbox. The better.
And in all honesty, can you blame them? Microsft, through Xbox, is sitting on a treasure trove of IPs and potentially, revenue. But are hamstrung by Xbox, and doing things that they hope would make "Xbox" great. But the reality is, that Microsoft gaming would be better off without Xbox. And even if they adopted a gamepass strategy similar to EA play, where they only have their own titles on there and for a reduced sub fee, they would be better off than what they are now.
What we are seeing is Microsoft simply taking steps to stop the bleeding that is Xbox, in as "saving face" a way as they can do it.

If you remove MS from the equation gaming doesn't look so bad. Japanese devs are killing it right now. Sony's last report was great everything was up except consoles.

The whole slate is coming to PS5 and Switch. Gonna be wild seeing Gears and Halo on PlayStation. Looks like Satya really got tired of waiting for his money. Satya and Phil behind closed doors:

I've felt like Motorstorm would be the perfect franchise for the open world Forza Horizon style game, it's too bad they've let the IP die. If MS were going to bring a game over, Horizon would be one that would probably garner a decent number of sales given the lack of competition in the open world driving genre on the platform.

I don't care what direction they take to turn around the gaming division, but I do know that Phil Spencer should not be at the helm on any new strategy.

Everyone expects all Xbox games will come to PlayStation.
That’s why it makes sense to buy a PlayStation instead of an Xbox because you get to play both catalogues.
