Phil Spencer saves the day: Microsoft employees to keep free access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

I’m maintaining my consistent could not give a fuck level of interest, as it affects me not one bit whatever they do.
If you criticised the original decision I’d ask you to review the life choices that led you to the point where you do care enough to be outraged about this complete and utter non event…

He's got to go into work and face his colleagues everyday.

They're gonna keep getting their free Game Pass Ultimate, the Best Deal in Gaming (if you're an employee and actually get it for free instead of paying a monthly sub)

Scoop: Microsoft announces $15 monthly pay cut to all employees.

I’ve said this before, but I hope this ‘shill’ shit that derails every single thread gets banned soon as it’s beyond tiresome and ruining the forum IMO.

Phil doesn't speak Portuguese.

Aren't you glad that folks complained about how stupid and petty this was?

Thank God he saved those poor starving Microsoft employees from paying 15 a month. I was worried for them.

Hope this is conditional, that all of them have to sign up for a Neogaf account and post about what they are playing.
I only see the same few, very few people in those threads here.

They have like what 250k employees or less. I'd just assume that they'd all get the office sub and GP, lol.
Made for a couple silly GAF threads at least.
Edit: On second thought, an office sub plus GP sets them back about $68m a year. Cancel it Phil, lets get that money to Xbox soldiers on the front lines.

Typical PR shit.
Give me good news in the games department instead of non news. I feel like we've heard this song before.

Maybe he can put up a full screen popup ad telling everyone he saved the day.

That was the logical thing to do. Whose a**hole took this incredibly petty decision? unfathomable.

Yeah, accusing me of projection only works if I consistently defend Sony or attack MS.
I do neither. You’ve clearly screened my posts closely enough to know that - you’ve looked and found nothing.
Last time, I pointed out your deflections - you and the rest - so you started accusing anyone criticising anything MS of deflecting away from negative Sony news.
Now I’m pointing out your projections, so you try to flip the script there as well.
And, sure, there are a few of the more easily-swayed here who will probably fall for those tactics. I’d like to think that, for most, you’re just revealing your bias and lack of argumentative substance. Which is a shame- because when you’re not selling something here, you can b be quite insightful.
Oh well.

It’s almost as if this “drama” today is example #263 of GAF overreacting/whining about something Xbox related. And this thread is example #218 of that “issue” being instantly resolved in the same day. Big nothing burger topped with nothing.
“Almost as if they knew any defense would need to be walked back”
More like, almost as if who fucking cares?
“I don’t care! I don’t care so much, I’m going to post and tell the whole world how much I don’t care! EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW MUCH I DON’T CARE!”
Yeah, doesn’t really work does it?

In the factory where I work need 3 years plus the unions just to keep the heating system on during the winter

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
No, funny enough all of those examples are from like the first page of your post history. There's half a dozen or so mentions of "XDEF" in your immediate post history.
It's remarkable how much it's living rent free in your mind

Are you going to be ok? You’re the one who mentioned me, pumpkin. The only post I made in the thread you’re referencing was mocking how dumb it is. Let me know which part of all of this confuses you.

I mean, what is this all about? Folk didn’t respond to ‘nothing news’, made even more nothing now, and that’s ‘telling’?
Yes it is, especially so when those individuals are typically unapologetically prolific in their forum wide advertising for all things Xbox/Microsoft.

Yeah, funny how there’s suddenly cause to mention the same people defending MS every time bad new about MS pops up.No, funny enough all of those examples are from like the first page of your post history. There's half a dozen or so mentions of "XDEF" in your immediate post history.

This isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is.

It doesn’t even cost anything to MS in the first place, give free access to a few employees doesn’t raise the cost of Gamepass for ms in the slightest. Also, who says the employee would even subscribe if it needs to pay. If it would not nothing lost in the first place.
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Oh no this isn't a gotcha, it's a reflection on how you've made warring and "XDEF" hunting your identity, even in your last post you said "last time I tagged you and the rest" and this isn't remotely the first time you've made posts tagging multiple members thinking you're being really clever or something
There's no cause to mention or tag people, you chose to do it and it's bizarre. Relax
You know it's really funny all the people who are considered the 'xdef' force members, I don't think I've ever seen anyone in that group make a post in any topic tagging 4, 5 'ponybois' as a zinger. Funny.

G .. what are we doing here, your 'Ybara was an inside plant for half a decade' level of charlie-day conspiracy rants are seeping towards general forum users now
You need to take a few days off for thanksgiving.
No thanksgiving here but thanks for your concern.
I'm glad to see you've all retained your benefits for another year at least though. Careful what you say though, wouldn't want them requesting you return those consoles.
Also not my fault if the plant wants to make things obvious via his twitter, but we've been through that already.

Irrespective of this specific topic, he's at the top of the org chart.
Are you guys being intentionally obtuse here? The Xbox/Microsoft Gaming division was already fine. This issue impacted people outside of the Xbox/Microsoft Gaming division. You know, the divisions which Phil Spencer is not over in any way. This should have been obvious, so I'm not sure why you both responded to me with organizational stuff.
