Obligatory:
People laughed at me when I said HOL helped GP break a new record for users last month. The game went viral and it absolutely did help."High on Life was the most played title on Xbox Game Pass during the week of its release, and was the fourth most played title on the Xbox platform overall, and was hailed as a "breakout hit" by Xbox VP of Marketing Aaron Greenberg. It also became the top selling game on Steam.[29]"
I think there was also info that it was biggest third party launch in history of gamepass.
He was actually he left the division in such bad shape the parent company left them in limbo for years with no budget and hardly any studios. It was not until 2018 the division got any money for studios and those were except playground and Obsidian were small purchases of AA studios who needed capital to grow. So 2018 plus 5 years meant Microsoft was going to have issues to start the generation.Was Don the reason there weren't any big first party game last year? For stuff he did 10 years ago??
It does. Ok kinect not.And still doesn't address the other mistakes: Kinect, pricing, used games.
It feels weird listening to everyone shit on Microsoft, when I've never played an Xbox console more than the Series X.
I guess. It was way more popular on gamepass than people thought it would be - but you could argue that doesn’t countOnly for the studio but not when bemoaning poor cursed Xbox. If it were Forza or Halo or any first party game like Sea of Thieves, Steam sales would qualify.
The game wasn’t a hit critically or sales wise (on Xbox).
It does. Ok kinect not.
Then you are limited.No, it doesn't address Xbox One as far as pricing, Kinect, or used games at all.
Reminds me of this:
Well you can rest easy now that Xbox will have a Kojima game.
Trying to rehabilitate Don Mattrick is a fool’s errand. The entire premise of the Xbox One was fatally flawed and only came about because of Mattrick and the Xbox leadership’s blinkered thinking at the time.It does. Ok kinect not.
I also will never understand the ceo bashing and obsession in here. Look in the mirror ask yourselfes can i trash a ceo for no good reason. I mean what did you guys achieve. Also they have 1000 of people behind them.
I dont get it, should be about games not dorks of twitter with their brain diarrhea
Then you are limited.

No budget yet they were able to buy mojang, gears ip. With that money they could've bought/made over 10 insomniac studios.He was actually he left the division in such bad shape the parent company left them in limbo for years with no budget and hardly any studios.

ms is only consumer friendly as long as they play catching up. Sony is absolutely anti consumer since they led the last generation. Its always the same.Trying to rehabilitate Don Mattrick is a fool’s errand.

This includes their DRM/digital system - the fact that years later customers transferred to digital, in a completely different way from the Xbox One proposal, is NOT evidence that the Xbox One proposal was smart or ahead of its time! It’s just evidence that the Xbox One proposal was BAD and they could eventually get to where they wanted to go in a much more customer friendly way, which they did.
I don’t know what “consumer friendly” and “anti consumer” mean. I have a PS5, it has good games, the system software and services are maintained, they add features, I can get games at reasonable prices, Sony releases good games at a regular cadence.ms is only consumer friendly as long as they play catching up.

I think most sane people can admit that Jim Ryan is coasting on the successes built in late PS3 and PS4 right now to a large degree.Nowadays we can't blame him, but basically the whole Xbox One shitty life was his fault
That’s like saying anyone that ever mentioned the Curse of the Bambino was directly blaming Babe Ruth. Let’s get real lol.
Ryan mcaffery is the biggest microsoft apologist out there . Never forget alien isolation 5.9
It is natural to want to 'both sides' each situation but there are not an equal number of people on each side so the responses are no where equal either. Acceptance is really the only thing you can do.It's just the warriors on neogaf, some literally can't contain themselves with the bad news and negativity that's been happening lately with Xbox.
It also happens in Sony bad news threads too sadly, both sides have a couple of members that enjoy taking shots at each other & can not wait to try dunk on each other.

If you dont even know that theres no point to talk further.I don’t know what “consumer friendly” and “anti consumer” mean.

If you disagree with me, can you explain why? I genuinely don't understand what your issue is. HOL was the biggest third party game ever on GP. The same month they hit a new high for users on GP. All I said is that the game helped. Can you explain with actual words why this is hilarious to you?
Thank you.
His actual comments really aren't that bad lol. I just legitimately don't even know why my post would be funny. It's actually pretty boring. Large launch for a game helped a large month for GP. Pretty logical and uncontroversial ...It's pointless to try to engage with Ezekiel_ . Logic/rationality doesn't apply. Biggest fanboy on these forums, and that's saying something.

Is it funny that I liked the game? I did.
Don Mattrick? He went to Zynga and resigned in 2015 because he failed to grow their business. No clue what he’s doing now.Whatever happened to that guy anyway?
I dunno the "Don Mattrick curse" thing at the end seemed like a light-hearted dig more than anything else.... and now we have two pages of nonsense hot-takes
Phil has been a hood figurehead and likeable individual. However he has been mediocre in so many other areas. His achilles heel has been first party exclusive games.The guy hasn't been CEO for Xbox in 10 years and people still keep kissing Phil's ass like this.
The power of good PR indeed.
That's actually a really good point lol.even if it was, apparently some of you don’t know how curses supposedly work.
