>basically killed the xbox brand>tried to make "everything" an xbox>tried to strong arm the game industry by buying a bunch of studios and effectively killed them all>greenlit the abomination that is the xbox rog allywhy are people pretending like phil spencer did anything good?ps: the new captcha fucking sucks
>>733679902>why are people pretending like phil spencer did anything good?I cant imagine why, I really cant. I dont think he did a single positive thing for the brand, let alone the industry.
btw now that phil and sarah are gone, you can say goodbye to microsoft actually working on this ever againhttps://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/introducing-advanced-shader-delivery/
>>733679902Now just imagine if he dod the opposite.Imagine if he actually made everything close system. Everything exclusive to Xbox. Cod, Minecraft, Bethesda games and everything else.Do you think people would actually praise him?
>>733680097cont. this is about the only good thing that came from phil being head of xbox
>>733679902So cheap console will backward compability was actually bad? Or funding niche games like psychonauts 2? They also should invest in Concord instead
>>733679902he gave me ng4, so he's alright in my book
>>733680236you would've gotten ng4 regardless bro
>>733680146It wouldn't be good for "the gamers" but it would be good for Xbox. That's the point. When you enter a console war you're supposed to fucking win. When you enter any business you're supposed to be dog. Microsoft capitulated to Valve, capitulated to Sony who actually cared about winning the console wars and now they're paying the price dearly.
>>733680097This has nothing to do with xbox.
>>733679902>Tone at the TopI know. Large corporations suck. Especially even larger than large ones like Microslop. You can't be the right kind of leader with that kind of management above you. It draws in sycophantic people and it draws in the only ones who actually know how to navigate it, and at that point you don't have any meaningful skillset left to do what, for example, Iwata did for Nintendo, which I believe actually inspired a lot of developers to think outside the box and also just enjoy working on games at Nintendo.Phil could only hold the gates until hell broke out. That's literally all he did from beginning to end, and also his only skillset. Not instructing studios how to make cooler games. Joseph Staten and his ex-Destiny 1 team that ran Microsoft Publishing from 2014-2020 did that, but when he fully quit you just had executive meddling left, and Phil trying to stall for time with Gamepass.
>Why are consoletards>Not even consoletards but loyalist consoletards to the worst brand in the history of technology retardeddunno
>>733681432People would have just turned away from the Xbox brand even more. Because anything Xbox does people hate it. It's just a doomed brand.
>>733681685Not if they're forced to interact with it to get what they want. CoD is too big of a franchise for it to ever fail, and if you need an Xbox to play it, everyone wlll have an Xbox. Xbox will be the default console due to the sheer star power of their IPs. Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Halo, Forza, Gears, Doom, Quake, Minecraft, Diablo, Crash, Spyro, Age of Empires, if they had played smart and kept all of that shit exclusive then there would be no competition from Sony. "Play Anywhere" was the biggest mistake they ever made.
>>733679902Fucker made ninja Gaiden 4… fuck him he killed the series. Fuck Xbox.
>>733682349The only good move Phil did was actually acquiring all those publishers and studios. Only for it to be thrown out the window because everything was given away to other consoles. It literally makes no sense. To this day I don't understand what was the point.
