IGN's article proves how Xbox & Xbots & its paid shills are so damn stupid. You made toxic environment by yourself

And blame only yourself for what is happening around Xbox. You wanted Gamepass, you wanted not to buy games. Then Xbots has been conditioned to rent games and not buy them. You've accepted it and look where Xbox console is now.

Still defending Phil Spencer and absolving him from any responsibility!!! Unbeliavable!

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Xbox stepped on a rake again.

For the umpteenth time in the past decade, Microsoft has found itself on the wrong end of bad news. And as usual, it's self-inflicted. Just as Team Green was starting to gather some positive momentum – Fallout is the biggest show on TV and boosting all of the Fallout games along with it, the launch of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is imminent and it may be the very kind of prestige single-player, narrative-driven third-person action-adventure the brand has long lacked, the next Xbox Showcase was announced for June 9, where we might finally see the long-anticipated next entry in the Gears of War series, the next Call of Duty: Black Ops game, and more – Xbox brass torched the morale of customers and quite possibly its own developers alike by announcing the closure of three studios (Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Alpha Dog) and the consolidation of a fourth (Roundhouse).

Fans were quick to point back to recent and now-hypocritical quotes from Xbox executives, such as marketing boss Aaron Greenberg saying last year that just-axed developer Tango Gameworks' Hi-Fi Rush "was a breakout hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations. We couldn't be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered with this surprise release."

In the 2021 Xbox documentary Power On, Sarah Bond said the leadership team asked themselves how to learn from and not repeat the mistake of acquiring a studio (in this case, original Fable developer Lionhead) only to later shut them down. And one year ago, in the wake of Redfall's disastrous launch, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said, "One thing I won't do is push against [the] creative aspirations of our teams. When a team like Rare wants to do Sea of Thieves, when a team like Obsidian wants to do Grounded, when Tango [Gameworks] wants to do Hi-Fi [Rush] when everyone thought they were probably doing The Evil Within 3…I want to give the teams the creative platform to go and push their ability, to push their aspirations."

Poo cows, so jealous. lol :P

A shill talking about shills on a system that has way fewer shills than the shill count on the biggest shill community he shills for.

Priceless!

Its shit for those involved. I hope most have been moved and the rest find work.

If anyone thought Microsoft where going to spends Billions on an acquisition and then not make changes don't understand business. Almost all acquisitions lead to job cuts. The bigger the acquisition the bigger the cuts.

All these sites are just click bait at this point.

Why would Phil be jealous? He has made Xbox have record profits and record revenues, lol. And now they make more games than ever, lol.

You need to CALM down. It's just plastic son.

Fanboy war threads are 😂

Due to DaVillain closing down my thread asking me to post in other irrelevant topics that aren't related I'm dropping this here:

PRESIDENT of XBOX Finally Talks about Studios CLOSING and it's AWFUL!

If you had any lingering thoughts that MS any idea what they were doing in gaming, this should fix that mental lapse for you..

Funny how NOW that the shit hits the fan, they let the new black girl have to answer for and take the heat for everything that's happened, when Phil Spencer was the one who created and solely landed xbox in the situation it's in right now.

Gamepass, Day n Date PC releases, play anywhere, 80 billion dollar acquisitions without means to maintain the studios...yep that's Sarah Bond's doing?

Where TF is Phill now? In Japan somewhere getting his anime protag harem on while the xbox brand burns

Scummy company all the way around.

System Wars, not Fanboy Wars. Talk about the games and the systems that play them, not the people who play them.

Meanwhile for the last 7 years I've played and beat hundreds of games through gamepass.

lol @ calling people toxic when the thread title is as toxic as one can get.

that ign for you.

@above_average: Take it to Super Sonic's latest thread -_-

You beat me to it👍
