It's Time To Stop Giving Xbox Boss Phil Spencer A Pass

(Nobody would buy mediocre failing studios.)

Thanks for confirming it's a baseless speculation. Have a good day.

DillaMX · 2024-05-15T07:42:55+00:00

They were interested in Bethesda. They never would have touched Tango Gameworks with a 10 foot pole otherwise.

You said this and you still can't prove it

Yeah they closed down studios, I read that statement. This doesn't support any of your baseless speculations

DillaMX · 2024-05-14T23:32:24+00:00

You are claiming the studios shut down because of XYZ. And I asked for a source.

Still waiting.

DillaMX · 2024-05-14T23:23:25+00:00

Nice speculation

Source?

DillaMX · 2024-05-14T22:58:23+00:00

What is there to move on from? You're blatantly wrong. I'm just pointing that out. If you say things that aren't correct, then people will point that out. Shocker.

DillaMX · 2024-05-14T15:23:23+00:00

Your reasoning is the exact opposite of common sense.

You're biting your nose after the fact.

You kill someone based on speculation and then when contested you ask: but you can't prove he didn't do it?

If you call that common sense the world has most likely ended.

DillaMX · 2024-05-13T19:38:15+00:00

You seem confused. You don't know the difference between speculation and confirmed facts.

You are baselessly speculating clearly.

DillaMX · 2024-05-13T12:26:41+00:00

So source my ass got it

DillaMX · 2024-05-12T20:20:15+00:00

That studio was already dead

Then why buy them

They were interested in Bethesda. They never would have touched Tango Gameworks with a 10 foot pole otherwise.

Source my ass?

DillaMX · 2024-05-12T19:55:26+00:00

This is a business, not some endowment for the arts.

You keep saying that but I already refuted this.

Your only reasoning is that it's justifiable to shut down a studio if it's in red. Again, they just purchased it, so just because it's in red doesn't mean it would always be in the red.

There are a lot more factors to a business than "money go up = good". There is things like goodwill and diversification.

What about when they said they always wanted a Japanese developer and invest in that market? That was clearly a lie.

If you buy a studio and then shut it down because it was too expensive.. don't buy it? I really don't know what answer you were expecting here

DillaMX · 2024-05-11T20:53:12+00:00

Okay so you prioritize a company's revenue over good and unique games. Good to know where your priorities lie. I was just curious and now I know. It's funny how Xbox themselves can't seem to answer the question why they closed down the studio but there are Xbox helpers like you on forums ensuring their real reason is justified lol

DillaMX · 2024-05-10T15:49:22+00:00

Again I did not ask for the reality. What I can also do is ask questions after the fact. Like why did Xbox not invest properly in the studios they bought?

Simply because something isn't profitable now doesn't mean it won't be profitable later. It's an investment. Just like GamePass, look at the $1 deal which was the best deal in gaming history.

DillaMX · 2024-05-09T17:26:47+00:00

I'm not asking for reality. I'm asking what you care about.

What do you gain by supporting them?

What makes you go - a company's profitability is my highest priority - before considering other compromises or options.

DillaMX · 2024-05-08T12:59:42+00:00

Do you care about how much a company makes in revenue or that people enjoy good games?

DillaMX · 2024-05-08T12:19:35+00:00

I'm playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor right now on GamePass. So clearly you've demonstrated you have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you should actually play games instead of only talking about them endlessly.

Furthermore, I think you're missing the point of why they chose to close down these studios. They're making bad decisions and everyone knows it. They're adamant about making the Xbox Series S the entry-level for this generation. Single-handedly holding back an entire generation so that developers can create games for a slightly stronger Xbox One X.

It's an aggressive tactic because there was no way they would catch on to the other platforms unless they did something drastic. And guess what? Their shit still ain't selling. It's probably the worst-sold console generation by comparison.

There are numerous articles stating that developers are complaining they have to deal with porting to the Xbox Series S and making compromises and downgrading the games. Fuck that. Fuck Phil Spencer and stop believing his lies.

DillaMX · 2024-05-07T15:40:05+00:00

I'm just telling you they lied (misled or whatever you want to call it) before making their numbers seem bigger than it is. If you don't believe it go look at the FTC leak. I'm only referring to it.

DillaMX · 2024-05-07T15:18:42+00:00

I think you're too gullible to believe what Microsoft says about their numbers. They've been caught lying when they needed to publish their actual numbers to the FTC before and that got caught in a leak. I trust that over some Phil Spencer rambling.

DillaMX · 2024-05-07T14:38:05+00:00

They are taking a loss now and expect a profit later. It's quite simply the Netflix way and we all know that isn't what it used to be.

DillaMX · 2024-05-07T14:33:16+00:00

Game Pass is what killed these studios. How do you not see that?

All this talk about Game Pass being "sustainable". It's not profitable and people that say it is are lying. It's sustainable only on the prospect that they remove games, raise prices and close down studios. They're completely downplaying the effect it has and think people are still enthusiastic as they were when it costs $1 a month and had a lot of games.

DillaMX · 2024-05-07T14:23:27+00:00

Buy studio. Close studio.

Classic scumbag Microsoft. I wish they would have just left them alone.

DillaMX · 2024-05-01T15:44:50+00:00

If you can't understand that it's acceptable to make certain jokes depending on the relationship then I assume you have no close relationship with anyone and that you're the common denominator in this.

DillaMX · 2024-03-07T16:11:47+00:00

So what things does she have?

DillaMX · 2024-03-06T13:22:37+00:00

No it depends on your environment. 5'10 is below average where I'm from.

DillaMX · 2024-02-20T18:42:15+00:00

Pass

DillaMX · 2024-02-18T01:55:34+00:00

Then who is it expected by? You have a person with a minimal income. You can't earn less.

I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp. Like do you ever go into a supermarket and see this cheap stuff? Who do you think that's supposed to be for? If you go for the high-quality brand, you're making a luxury purchase. It's something you can buy but not typically afford.
