It's not because of some arbitrary limit they hit... They don't have to cut back because of GamePass.... they have to cut back because they fucking suck at managing their studios and making games that people want to play. That is going to harm them just the same regardless of whether it's $70 games on shelves or not. Lying J 🤥... Never once did I say they inflated the numbers. That shit stagnanted... I was saying that since fall 2022. GamePass played a role as well... If GP growth has continued on the path it was on during the pandemic that would have given them the cushion they needed before the bangers arrive 4 - 5 years down the road.( 2024 - 2025) GP stagnated and they were forced to push out redfall and Starfield undercooked in an effort to inject some life into GP. Those games overall didn't move the needle enough and here we are today. Edited May 9 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,318 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 https://x.com/jasonschreier/status/1788331836306792883 So, it is looking more and more likely that, for alot of studios that don't have huge IPs, they are only alive FOR NOW while they still have a game in production. The moment they finish, and are forced to make a PS5/Switch 2 port, those people are going to lose their jobs. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems Phil is just as dumb and clueless as his fanboys. Pretty insane when you think about it. He probably was taking business advice from the lemshits he was in online game lobbies with Edited May 10 by FIREPOWER 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He probably was taking business advice from the lemshits he was in onlinegame lobbies with I blame Microsoft top executives. That dumb motherfucker Phil Spencer was literally being given ECONOMIC ANALYSIS by people within his own division, and he didn't listen to them. How come nobody within Xbox is able to speak to the Chief Financial Officer directly and sound the alarm that Phil Spencer is doing things that there is no evidence that it is profitable? If you think about it, Phil Spencer has THREE MAJOR INITIATIVES when he was head of Xbox, after Don Mattrick left. Let's make multiple skus with the Xbox One S and Xbox One X, a year apart. That'll work!!! Let's make it to where if you buy a game on Xbox you also get the Windows PC store version, that'll work!!! Let's abandon retail sales and make a digital rental service like Netflix, that'll work!!! And then as a desperate last step, Phil Spencer convinced Salty Nutella that if they start buying publishers really quickly and just FORCED their games to go on the rental service, that would quickly make all other game publishers rush in to join. None of it work. This guy didn't fail once. He failed repeatedly. Microsoft top executives were too stupid or too occupied to pay attention. So they also share blame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Those games overall didn't move the needle enough and here we are today. GP growth is dependent upon having great games people want to play in the first place. It stagnated because they kept fumbling every opportunity to provide that value when they had a chance and it compounded. That is the major reason why they are where they are. You absolutely went along with, if not outright saying it, that their numbers were likely worse than what they were reporting. Link to post Share on other sites

Old Xbox executive was so cool, that guy who used to work at SEGA, forgot the name, was so much better for building the brand. If you think about it, the whole Xbox identity still dates back from that era and early 360 days. Halo, Fable, Rare, Forza, Gears... They had a brand, now Xbox means nothing whatsoever, might as well be a toaster logo. Mattrick was also a a dumbass pushing Kinect at the forefront of Xbox but no one can match the genius of Phil Spencer completely destroyed Xbox for good. Maybe he's paid by Sony, an insider saboteur. I couldn't have done it better. Hats off to him. Link to post Share on other sites

You're tripling down on the lies 🤥, take that up with whoever was arguing that MS made up the numbers. I never claimed MS made up the numbers because It didn't matter what the actual numbers were because GROWTH HAD STAGNATED. The KPI that MS was using to gauge the success of GP was Growth.

And he's sitting there thinking that all Microsoft had to do was just collect 40 games that scored 80+ on Metacritic every year.................EASY PEASY!!!!!!!!! he's delusional 1 Link to post Share on other sites
