This is the state of Xbox under Phil Spencer

>>714402078 (OP)
honestly, i think he has surpassed Donny

It is incredible how consistently Xbox has shit the bed since 2010.

>>714402078 (OP)
He also made shitbox the tranniest console, not even snoy or shitendo could compete with that amount of pozz even though they tried their hardest to be gayer.

Peter Moore was the xbox GOAT

>>714402078 (OP)
He's perfectly executing the job he was assigned to do by Microsoft Corporate, which was scuttle the Xbox brand in a way that didn't just seem like Microsoft shutting it down after one bad generation. After the whole universal media entertainment system idea that was core to the Xbox One at launch didn't pan out, they had zero interest in continuing Xbox as the entire point from the beginning was to build toward that.

Fuck you donte

Just make Minecraft 2 and recoup all your money in a week

>those studios

Except Tango they were all garbage

>>714402078 (OP)
Rough. I just don't understand what happened to xbox, those guys were killing it in the 360 era! The fuck happened?? You fucking cunts, you have fucking microshart money! You have a literal unlimited money tree you can mooch money off of! They have an insane amount of crazy cool ip's and they're not doing shit with them, the fucking hell??

>>714402563
it annoys me the 360 was great
ps4 and ps5 are meh but fuck whatever xbox became when kinect came out

>>714402078 (OP)
Tameem left? Who's handling ninja theory, now? Kamiya, now he was a cunt that was taking Microsoft for a ride, the the initiative was doing the same except they were more subtle about it.

>>714402078 (OP)
i genuinely played no games by those studios and only one game credited by a key personnel
not saying phil is doing good, he's not, but these examples are "so what" tier

>>714405769
yeah but now imagine the vidya a capable, non retarded CEO couldve given us with virtually unlimited budgets. instead of all their gay tranny slop they put out... fuck em and fuck phil spencer

>>714402078 (OP)
i love how the blame is solely on an executive at the xbox games division who is not in charge of these studios actual day to day operations, the blame is on these hack game dev college retards who have no idea what they're doing and despise the audience they're making games for

phil would be praised as a hero if these studios had any talent behind them

>>714402078 (OP)
I mean let's be honest, none of those cancelled games were going to be anything better than mediocre at the very best and those studios existed in name only.

>>714407418
comments like this are so fucking stupid, you only see them on 4chan or reddit.

>>714403037
I wouldn't even be surprised, given the way Microsoft insists on pushing shit no one wants.

>>714409085
Contrarianism, by any means

Am I fucking insane I have never heard of any of these

>>714411686
Depends, are you a zoomie? Because if you are a millennial, then you have no excuses, then you really ought to know at least one of these...

Reminder that MS was getting whooped by the PS3 as early as late 2010. They were on the decline ever since Halo Reach's polarizing reception.

>>714411686
tango was hi fi rush
Initiative was Perfect dark and was a studio full of ex Rockstar, insomniac and Crystal Dynamics devs

>>714402078 (OP)
Snoys are so fucking afraid of Game Pass they waste their time making yellow tabloid infographics

Just two more weeks.

>>714402078 (OP)
This isn't even 5% as bad as Jim Ryan and Hermen hulst fucking up playstation.

>>714411686
Arkane was Dishonored, Prey, Wolfenstein, Deathloop, Redfall
Lionhead was Black & White, Fable

>>714412553

Wolfenstein was Machinegames
They killed the series by themselves

>Studios Closed
only blunder there is tango
>key personnel lost
mostly blunders except for Rob 'Malignant colon' (game closer) Ferguson
>cancelled games
I'm putting the blame on the HR departments for each studio, theres no way any of those games could have been good.

Microsoft has the philosophy they can just throw money at the problem and it will solve itself. They spent billions in acquisitions and forget those new entities under their arm actually and to produce tangible products. They grossly mismanaged their studios, they had no quality control, filled their ranks with DEI and H1B hires that are clearly not competent at making games.

>>714402078 (OP)
Shinji was going to leave even before the acquisition. Scalebound was a scam. Perfect Dark and Everwild were never going to be good. Redfall was a mess before the acquisition. Lionhead was dying and didn't Peter already left?

>>714402795
Battletoads, Starfield, Redfall, Avowed and South of Midnight are still all one more game than Concord.

>>714402078 (OP)
Xbox has quite literally always been dogshit. I don't get it.

>>714402078 (OP)
Rare Replay on pc when?

>>714415074
Just play the fan made PC port of Perfect Dark, anon.

>>714415074
When the emulator comes out.

>>714402078 (OP)
>Project Blackbird started dev in 2018
>Was supposed to release in 2028
>10 years of cash burn and no project to show
Good, let AAA crash and burn. Too much cash is being pumped into inexperienced devs who want to sit on 6-7 year dev cycles while pumping out portfolio pieces as games. Trim the fat, reduce team sizes and funding. Good art comes from little money.

>>714402078 (OP)
Phil Spencer should have went into politic before 2015 while the gravy was still good.

>>714415120
How was i not aware of this?

>>714411686
It means you're a massive newfag because Arkane gets shilled here all the time

>>714402078 (OP)
I really wish they shutdown Playground Games with Turn 10 as well. Forza turned to trash ever since FH3 and FM7.

>>714402078 (OP)
This infographic reads like bad tumblr fanfiction.

Roundhouse and Alpha Dog were mobile game developers.

Video games aren't art.
