memoryman3 won't let me quote you, but Ty, I must've missed that while skimming.

Windowing meaning 6-12 months timed exclusivity I'm guessing. On the single player games.

 

[Adam_802]

This will greatly upset some people lol

 

[jm89]

 

[graywolf323]

I'm still amazed that Matt Booty didn't get fired

 

[DR3AM]

XBOX IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GamePass cheap
Helix 25% faster than competition
HALO
MS Rewards

DAY 1 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[ChiefDada]

*Sigh*....The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[Haint]

This woman is LinkedIn meme word salad made flesh. Literally an SNL/MadTV parody caricature of the corporate "go-getter".

 

[nush]

How so?

We've got to get in the living room before Sony. Is the short answer.

 

[IDKFA]

This is the peak of corporate cringe.

GOod lord, imagine how the reats/shiils/zealots/idiots will react with this new slogan...

With more cringe and treating a trillion dollar company as their favourite sport team.

Spoiler

Arrogant Sony and Greedy Nintendo are in their own annoying pockets

oh dear. Not off to a good start here. Do you think Microsoft are better? This is all PR spin to build up hype for the next hardware. They're not a charity.

Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo all care more about making profit than they do about gamers.

 

[Puscifer]

Why is the public subject to these asinine corporate "town hall" (fucking hate this term) meetings?

 

[MMaRsu]

You would need Rockstar to Update their game for New Hardware. RDR2 for PS5 is still MiA

Rdr2 is 4k on Xbox tho right?

 

[kpopSuperstar]

'We are Xbox.'

'EmBoldEN tHe PlaYer.'

'Xbox will be where the world plays.'

STOP THE CORPO SPEAK, if you want to "connect" to players, learn how to sound human. You sound like a Microsoft automated message.

 

[TintoConCasera]

If I was working at that office, I'd be rolling my eyes if I had to go the lobby and listen to that live.

She's acting like she's on a rally campaigning for the presidency.

Just the usual town-hall corpo-babble. Means nothing at all, but they love to pretend.

They should talk less and make more games and, if possible, release some of them.

Yeah no shit but Sony was doing more to fight for consumers time and money during the ps3/360 era because they had to.

And as consumers thats all you should want. Ofcourse MS wants your time and money, the problem is if they don't have anything to offer then why even look at then as an option as a consumer?

Thus Sony being able to increase prices to ridiculous levels for instance, and going all in on gaas trash

 

[Interfectum]

 

[HallowedFeast]

We are losing money.

 

[Stafford]

Ok, cool. It's clear things are changing but we'll have to wait and see what it all will mean in the end. Interesting times ahead I guess.

 

[Hudo]

How about starting small and make a good fucking Halo game first. If you can't deliver with one of your most important IPs, then everything else pointless.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Rdr2 is 4k on Xbox tho right?

Im talking about a native current gen version. Not the OneX version

 

[nush]

Why is the public subject to these asinine corporate "town hall" (fucking hate this term) meetings?

Content for the overpaid marketing department.

 

[ReBurn]

Let her cook.

[Interfectum]

It's honestly amazing how badly Phil Spencer fucked Xbox. Good luck fixing this now... lol

You didn't play Infinite and Halo 5?

 

[MMaRsu]

Yes but if GTA 6 launches this yeah, and then next year a PC version is available, and you are somehow able to play that on a nextgen Xbox, then whats stopping it from being the best place on ''console' to play?

 

[TonberrysKnife]

....as the company is expected to do ANOTHER round of layoffs come May 1st. The fuck man lol.

 

[Hudo]

You didn't play Infinite and Halo 5?

I did. And they didn't deliver.

Edit: Infinite was especially frustrating because the core was there. They "just" had to make a good fucking campaign with it and a better written story. Halo 5 was unsalvageable, however.

 

[Holammer]

Double barrel retire the Xbox brand and start over.
It was cool and a good fit for early 2000's edge, now it's just cringe.

I mean... Even Nintendo knows when it's time to switch it up y'know.

 

[Sooner]

New leadership. Same cringe nerd-cult culture as always.

 

[Simpdimples]

all i could think of after reading some of that, was to stop reading anymore of it.

 

[SlimySnake]

Note to Microsoft Execs:

They just dont get it. Fucking Phil Spencer did the same thing. No one cares about your mission statement. Go make better games.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

Vote if you are for or against xbox and if you lose you will get "owned by xbox" under your username and if you win you get to have "owned by xbox" under user name.

[GudOlRub]

Pretty words but nothing to show for it yet, until they start releasing good consoles and games this is all bs.
Rooting for them though simply because we need Microsoft and Sony to keep each other in check.

 

[archangelmorph]

...

We have to be honest about where we are. We're a challenger, and meeting this moment will require pace, energy, and a level of self-critique that should feel uncomfortable. At our best we:

1. Earn every player
2. Protect our art
3. Stay rebellious
4. Progress over perfection
5. Signal over ceremony
6. Core before more
7. Outwork the problem
8. Speed is learning
9. Makers over managers
10. Clarity is kindness

...

The WHOLE fucking industry needs to hold you to this Asha.

The absolute second you start running % layoffs and closing down studios and sacking devs, whilst your fat-cat layers and layers of publishing staff & middle management stay bloated and fed, suckling on the teats of MSFT milk... will be the moment you demonstrably prove to the industry you have no credibility.

Them's BOLD fucking words Asha.

I hope you're up to this but I genuinely doubt you will be (it would have to be an industry first; outside of Shu + Leydan era Sony or Capcom).

 

[BennyBlanco]

Only relevant sentence in that whole article

 

[Sephimoth]

Means nothing.

Release great games. That's literally all there is to it.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

I just wanted to drop a post in what will eventually be a legendary thread.

 

[GamesDontSuck]

"We are xbox... now get the fuck out youre all fired"

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I have no love for xbox and i don't even think about their downfall, so no

It's not about Xbox.

It's about the narrative collapsing as every leader in the industry maintains headwinds toward Live Service.

 

[PSFore]

You can make games that only work for Project Helix. I believe this is what they are going to do, at least on a limited basis.

 

[bender]

 

[Zacfoldor]

You're the light, you're the night
You're the colour of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past the satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

I'm in luuuuuuvvvveeeee brahs. LOVE. This woman is so, SO good. Who knew women could be like this, lol? You beautiful woman you have brought Xbox back from the brink of death perhaps she can resurrect the entire industry.

 

[Interfectum]

Means nothing.

Release great games. That's literally all there is to it.

Also, drop the price of Series X by $300, make Series S $99. Put balls on the table or get out.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Thanks copilot. Also, you are xslop.

 

[Mr Moose]

This message was just sent to Team Xbox employees globally. So we decided to leak it on our own site instead of to Jizz this time.

 

[damidu]

lool why does anything she does, screams "chatbot prompted word salad"
quite a feat finding someone even more fake than spender

 

[DreamcastSkies]

After seeing that thread about Forza Horizon selling 5 million copies on Xbox, I don't think it's sensible for them to not support releases on other consoles but I'm wondering if they can do something else to leverage Xbox being the best place to play 1st party Xbox titles? A little cheaper price point on Xbox? Xbox versions perform the best? Timed console exclusivity on Xbox?
