>He served as Xbox CEO for a full 10 years.
First, he had Microsoft acquire a bunch of indie game studios.
Then he had Microsoft acquire ZeniMax Media for $7.5 billion.
After that, he had Microsoft spend $70 billion to acquire Activision Blizzard.
And then lazy Phil just did nothing.
No plan
No project management
No quality control
Nothing at all
>Just constantly wasting Microsoft’s money
Letting all the game studios do whatever they wanted
Ultimately releasing one trash game after another that nobody wanted
And allowing Xbox exclusives to launch on the PS5
This eventually led to the collapse of the entire Xbox division because Xbox wasn’t making any money
Why?
>Why didn’t Phil do anything? Is he really that lazy?
On top of that, he even became Todd’s puppet, following Todd’s orders to ban Obsidian from making a new Fallout game.
>Even an Indian woman who doesn’t play games at all understands project management better than he does.

He commandeered an already sinking ship. Yes, he did little to fix it, but Mattrick was to blame in the first place. Spencer's passivity was damaging, but Mattrick was an active detriment.
>>
>>743299267
The Don was a based visionary who was too early for his time. Sony is only now acknowledging their past mistake and has struck their path in the footsteps of a historical gaming icon.
>>
>>743299267
Phil took a sinking ship, added holes, and sat around while watching it sink faster.
>>
>>743300692
Digital has become inevitable, but Sony still hasn't done a TV-first pivot or forcing PS Move on all console purchases
>>
>>743300873
so what? who cares?
>>
>>743299084
Phil wasn't lazy, he was incompetent. He was a middle manager mostly responsible for developer and publisher relations. He was completely unfit to lead a division. The only thing he could do well is lying good enough to everyone to keep his racket going as long as humanely possible. Idiots still blame Don but the Xbone reveal was similar to the PStriple. It was recoverable with time. Phil made sure Xbox will not recover ever. Anything Asha does doesn't matter because Xbox starts the next gen with no games and making it sure the leftover userbase who was living off cheap hardware and software won't find anything at Xbox anymore.

Here’s a black pill zoomers can’t swallow. Xbox has sucked since the 360. The original Xbox is the sole only good console Microsoft has made (though the controller fucking sucks). The 360 was the beginning of the end. Then Playstation looked at the 360 and used it as an excuse to start pushing out shit practices like paid online and anti-consumer practices. And let’s not forget the RROD. The 360 was the fatal illness, One was the death, and Series is the burial. This “Project Helix” or whatever the fuck they call it will be the console equivalent of CGI-ing in dead actors

>who cares?
I care.
If Phil had really taken responsibility, we would have been able to play the new Fallout by now.

>muh Mattrick
Remember the PS3 reveal and how Sony slowly came back? Phil spent 10 years with infinite money and all he achieved is a handful of mediocre multiplats. When they pull the plug on the Xbox people will not even collect Xbox One/Series consoles because all it can offer is usually the worst version of every multiplat.
>>
>>743301058
Everyone who now realizes Sony and Nintendo can do what they want. Everyone who will realize the entire PC market depends on the goodwill of an old man who may or may not wake up tomorrow.
Stop killing games should make everyone remember what kind of consumer rights gamers actually have without competition.

>go to thread about phil ruining xbox
>reply who cares to post about phil ruining xbox

You do apparently?
>>
Phil Spencer was too nice, he thought giving devs unlimited money, time and free creativity would result in good games. He was wrong.
>>
>>743301687
He was kind of right, the problem is that xbox was under Pajeetsoft so they kept replacing all the skilled workers with wokes and kept forcing them to make woke shit with no good looking characters.
And now that he's gone it's going to get so much worse.
>>
>>743301687
All the shit I'm hearing about layers of management, I don't think it would be Phil's problem but then again, the Jeet gets in and immediately sees it as an issue so what do I know.
>>
>>743299084
>No plan
Now that's wrong, his plan to save Xbox was let californians make games and port this games to every other plataform beginning with pc
>How having no exclusives would make people buy a Xbox?
Don't know
>How letting retards toy around with you flagship ips for a decade be good for the brand?
Don't know

He had a plan, a very retarded one.
>>
>>743300692
Visionary? Sure. Based? I'd disagree there.
>>
>>743299084
Looks good on paper :)
>>
>>743301895
He protected his developers from Microsoft and from being replaced by jeets. It turns out they were woke and just made woke games anyhow with all the free creativity, resources and time. Now they're getting fired without anyone defending them.
>>
>>743301903
>Complain about too many layers of management
>Only fire low level devs and keep all of the managers
>Create a brand new layer of management to manage all the other layers
Yea I'll believe it when I see it
>>
>>743301903
One of the key things about Phil Spencer Xbox buying the devs was that they would keep their company structure intact. So this meant as an example Bethesda would keep the same management that knows what they're doing under Zenimax parent company who report to Xbox. Of course now they're all gone.
>>
yeah he was praised by shills because he wasted money nonstop
he legit made the worst decisions and why xbox is doomed
watching dropped frames they just praise it and try to defend him and say some of the dumbest shit possible, he ran the company into the ground. of course him being fired was necessary, the faggot would sit there until the thing came crashing down
>>
>>743302134
He's a pro developer and pro gamer CEO, now that he's gone microsoft can go back to being ruthless.

>…b.b.but Don Mattrick
Philly boy had plenty of time to right that ship, but instead of fixing it he just was lazily bailing water out with a soup spoon
He thought that just by pumping out games Xbox could come back, but he failed to realize the games needed to actually be good.
>>
>>743299084
Yeah he should've fired everyone and imported a bunch of jeets to replace them. It'll be much better.
>>
>>743299084
you are all retarded for trusting these giant mega corporations. they do not give a fuck about you. they will fuck you over, the moment they get a chance. all those rich shareholders/investors, the ceos, the executives are mentally ill greedy freaks. they dont care about their country. they dont care about their fellow citizens. they are traitors, that are obssessed with money and profits. they do not give a fuck about games, the people that make them, or the people that play them.
>>
>>743302257
>Phil
>pumping out games
Where?
>>
Phil's problem is that he didn't want to come across as an asshole- but because of that, he instead came across as a useless buffoon.
>>
>>743302257
And Phil Spencer is right, Starfield is one of the best games of the generation and yet it didnt get people to sell their PS5s to buy an Xbox.
>>
>>743299250
Nintendo?
>>
Phil Spencer is based and always will be based. I'm so fucking sick and tired of everyone blaming him for the downfall of Xbox. He gave us backwards compatibility, he literally saved the brand from being extinguished ten years ago, when Microsoft was considering shutting down the Xbox division completely. What has Asha fucking done? Lower the price of game pass a little bit? Wow, fucking wow! Until she fixes Halo I don't fucking care, she's just as bad as the microslop jeet running Microsoft.
>>
>>743299267
poojeet xbox shills know that
they are just painting the white guys as the incompetent ones while the poojeets who were actually in charge were shitting up xbox
now, they're shilling their poojeeta ceo to save their izzat
