Absolutely disgusting. Im so happy i traded away my xbox and am done with the company.
Anti Competition commisioner or government agency should directly fine the corporation for breach of compeition law agreed on during purchase of these IPs.
I said something similar in another thread, but Phil is looking (and acting) more and more like an alien cockroach is inhabiting his skin lately.
Is Phil asking for more sugar in his water?
He looked much better after putting on a few pounds and beating the shit out of a blind lawyer
Isn’t he always like this? Don’t really understand why he’s always protected by the community. He’s the head of xbox studio before xbox one released. Which is around the time xbox started to to have problems with their first party output
He’s well liked because he came from the trenches and has a good track record of knowing his shit. When compared with the likes of Kotick or Guillemot, it’s a breath of fresh air (despite being such a low bar). However as one of the highest execs in the entire gaming industry, this is the kind of stuff he does all year long.
Plus you know, his public-facing image is well curated and people like it.
One of, if not the wealthiest company on the planet, acting like they can’t afford it. These people need to come back down to reality.
They wanted the IP not the staff.
Meanwhile they reveal 1 Billion revenue from their latest acquisition…
Xbox Boss Phil Spencer
Get rid of that fucker first
Man if big studios are constantly layng ppl off, that means in a few years we will probably have an influx of even more small game studios and it’s gonna be way harder for big companies to acquire them.
Though I don’t like the layoffs, I like the world in which game developers are back to steering their own company again.
