What the fuck does Phil Spencer even do?

Collects money

Phil you with false hope.

>>714298905 (OP)
Makes lofty promises to Satya Nadella, and reaps the consequences after he's executed them.

nigga, how else are they gonna pay the CEOs millions of bucks?
layoffs are there for that reason.

>>714298905 (OP)
Has he actually accomplished ANYTHING at Microsoft's gaming division?

>>714298905 (OP)
Talk big to get investor money. No matter how shit things are, you keep talking big. Tell people how things really are and they will flee like rats from a sinking ship, only fucking yourself even more.
His job is (probably soon to be "was"), to convince them the ship isn't sinking to keep them from pulling out, and perhaps lure more people in if he's lucky enough.

>>714298905 (OP)
We need to pay the board of directors whose salaries reflect the fact that they work 300x harder than their employees.

What was the point of the Activision-Blizzard acquisition again? It cost a lot of money, got Microsoft in trouble with the CMA and FTC, and resulted in all of zero games being made or even announced.

>>714299368
Yes. He accomplished driving it into the ground.

>>714299368
He killed Xbox, good on him the consoles were shit after 360 anyway.

the sun is setting on xbox, phil was just finishing the job that mattrick started

>9000

>>714299050
carlos!!!!

>>714298905 (OP)
I doubt he does anything for 1-2 years, they keep him because he doesn't look like a corporate ghoul.

>>714299368
Well, he pushed backwards compability, xbox one x to fix that shit Metrik did, obscure games were ported, xbox sx for poor games + gamepass.
You hate him, but he did everything right, but you bought PS5 anyway

>>714299368
he made shareholders happy

>>714299368
He got expedition 33 and pal world on game pass, that's bretty gud

>>714301064
Candy Crush. That makes at least a billion pure profit a year. Activision and Blizzard were just nice bonuses for Phil to play with.

>>714298905 (OP)
allow every studio to get founded, then spend a decade in development hell before being shut down, without having ever released a game

>>714306276
That sounds a lot like a money laundering scheme.

>>714306120
>*slow condescending clap*

>>714306595
I dunno about laundering but they're definitely just coasting on the profitability of the rest of microsoft

>>714299368
Phil is a millionaire yet never does anything about his yellow teeth

>>714299050
Cringe and Bluephiled.

>>714306209
And how much time will it take them to make their inversion back? If that shit makes a billion per year I doubt they would sell it for cheap.

>2006 - 2012
Xbox is shit and has to die
>2013 - 2025
Noo! Why is Xbox dying

>>714309976
Who are you even quoting, schizo?

>>714310327
/v/

>>714310428
I haven't seen anyone lamenting xbox death ever.

>Used to work at Zenimax
>Last year sucked
>New managers came in, office culture became high school
>Terrible time
>Got new job, moved on
>Getting to look at Linkedin today as all of my previous managers and coworkers are crying about losing their jobs and waxing on about their "next life adventure."
At the very least, Phil Spencer has given me some great afternoon entertainment.

>>714306812
That's better than anything Nintendo and Sony have done in the past 10 years.

>>714298905 (OP)
>microsoft and playstation bleeding employees and studios like flies
>nintendo has been on a years long hiring spree while building new office buildings to expand further
What the fuck is happening to this industry?

>>714299368
>Has he actually accomplished ANYTHING at Microsoft's gaming division?
Has XBOX ever accomplished anything?
It's been shit from its conception.

>>714309976
Xbox isn't dying. Gaming is.

People were laid off because games take ages to release nowadays. Yet people are still expected to show up there at the company, doing nothing and still getting paid.

it's over

Who?

>>714298905 (OP)
>What the fuck does Phil Spencer even do?
replaces whites with pajeets

>>714310615
In the early 10th when Xbox was comparable to playstation in popularity basically the whole gaming community wanted Xbox to be gone. And this only got way worse when the Xbox one was announced. And the hatred never stopped untill basically today.

>>714298905 (OP)
Makes stupid faces
Tells gamers they're stupid
Lays people off
Delivers news on which studios Microsoft is buying so they can lay off

>>714311358
That's the entire western civilization.

>>714311162
Videogames are dead because there's no real interest for videogames anymore.
No competition, no passion, no inspiration and aspiration.
Videogame have regressed and lost credibility.

>>714311162
>>714311907
and it's all about making money, through mtx

>>714299368
he tried to use Microsoft daddy money to out compete sony and only make Microsoft convert xbox to a life service product(like windows, azura,etc) instead of letting it doing their own thing like they always did, thank you phil…

>>714298905 (OP)
lmao
