Who wants to touch me.

In a sexy way?

 

[Gudji]

Well I said it in a previous post that it needed rebranding and people laughed at me.

well lets be fair I said it needed branding on PC only but you get the gist

But boys I called it on January 7th. Who wants to touch me.

 

[GHG]

I'm done with the Internet. What a mess lol

Now We have people faking logos and making tweet statements that there's a rebrand with no actual knowledge.

these people who are after any form of clout are fucked.

This is so fucking ironic it's unreal.

 

[Draugoth]

Jez sources also says it'a a typo

 

[killatopak]

I really feel like Microsoft should address this faster.

Everybody is jumping at shadows because of their lackadaisical approach

Yep, as I figured. A name change for possible for other platforms.

[digoutyoursoul]

If he put more effort on the logo i would believe it

And more effort into being amusing too

So GameStop is using Segoe as a font in their designs now?

 

[Bernardougf]

Dont even care if its a typo.. this week has been just fun

Cmon Ass of Can Whooping join this thread too.. I need some laughs and you are the goat

If they name change was scheduled for next week they can't do it sooner.
But if this is a typo gamestop should correct it quickly
They always use Xbox Game Pass

 

[DJ12]

It already exists if this is in any way true its just them dropping the baggage of the xbox brand.

Good job your a fellow Sega nerd

This sucks as an Xbox owner. But I won't give up their controller. Maybe it's finally time for PC

I moved onto PC and it is great

Most brands have guidelines to follow for
Making content like this. But we shall see

This is very nice of you. Thank you.

 

[Clintizzle]

Guys help! I can't stop doing the x gesture with my arms. It's taken over my life. This week has broken me.

 

[DaGwaphics]

It's hosted on a third party img host, so, I'm thinking not MS. LOL

 

[Saber]

Sounds stupid, but at the same time makes sense because people are very likely to remember the name Microsoft. And since they did all that damage to the Xbox brand, would be logical to change to a name that isn't a laughing stock.

Well there it is... Tom Warren and Jez haven't got the memo yet.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Let's be real though.
I'm no fanboy but this is what I was trying to explain in my previous post a month ago.

The Xbox brand name is not associated with top dog or highest quality to the average consumer anymore.
They're better off in my estimation going with something new and trying a rebrand. It might work, it might not but the XBOX name itself has been tarnished and driven through the mud.

Nintendo for instance ditched the name "Gameboy" which I never expected them to for the DS and Gameboys left on a far higher note than this will. A gamble perhaps but it worked.

I also think the name "Xbox" in general and this may be a personal opinion but it's a very 90s/00s sounding name for a service or console.
PlayStation is too but it's again associated with a top brand to the average consumer.

 

[Fake]

Microsoft Game Pass would be a terrible name. Should just be Game Pass. If you sub on PC: Game Pass. If you sub on Xbox: Game Pass.

Just proves how mess is the communication inside their own company.

[MisterXDTV]

Yeah, there's no way GameStop made this ad by themselves...

They put on their site what MS sends them.....

Like any advertiser does

On the other hand, "Microsoft" isn't really connected to gaming in the average consumers eyes and if the Xbox brand will be discontinued, using "Xbox games" to sell the "Microsoft GamePass" might not have as much pull as "Xbox GamePass" (which already isn't really taking off).

Honestly, I am surprised it took this long. I mean, Where the fuck Xbox is in my PC ? All I get is an Xbox icon that has no meaning and no purpose on windows.

It make sense to call it Microsoft gsmepass. It has more power to it. Just like apple arcade or apple game pass. Not iPhone game pass.

But of course. We will get the retards throwing Xbox in the washroom and shit for drama.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Sad to see the Xbox 360 legacy falling apart.

It's been falling apart for a decade.

GameStop seems to have removed the Tweet.

Hence why I think its stupid.
If true I can only guess thats the move from blacksuits there. The most smart choice would be just call GP, since its basically what people recite.

Been a tough week for team green, they are whipped up into a right frenzy right now.

 

[schaft0620]

How are we coming to a conclusion that they are dropping the Xbox name on an old marketing image where they mention Xbox 3 times.
