Support NeoGAF

Based Phil triggering Era. What a chad

First Jim and now Phil, we just need Doug Bowser to come on board.

Let the troll kings unite!

 

[Crayon]

Ugh. This is only the second time since switching back that I looked at an era thread out of morbid curiosity. They latched onto "cancel culture" in a millisecond and looking at the 11th page, never let go. What a headache.

but Microsoft is dividing their employees currently.

Microsoft to Lay Off 10,000 Workers as It Looks to Trim Costs

The job cuts, which amount to less than 5 percent of the company’s work force, are its largest in roughly eight years.

Just the reality of the situation. If you refuse to play games on platform X because you love platform Y, it's neither platform X or Y that deprives you of content. That's all on you.

You must love it when Sony moneyhats exclusives, they're just expanding gaming to everyone via hardware.

MS supports more platforms they don't own than any other platform holder.

Oh sure! They support Xbox, Windows, and Azure. Where are the platforms they don't own?

 

[Topher]

MS supports more platforms they don't own than any other platform holder.

Good. Didn’t say otherwise.

 

[fart town usa]

Good on Phil.

I can definitely get behind that and as dumb as it sounds, it's pretty bold for him to say those things considering how the TwitteReee hivemind could twist it against him.

Too bad XBOX ain't got games. it's a joke, relax, lol.

 

[ChainedDreamer]

Anything that makes ResetEra lunatics mad, makes me happy. Thanks Phil!

 

[Neolombax]

You can experience the joy echo effect. Just hang around next to some Xbox players and you'll see so much joy that you'll be happy, even if you don't have the game on PS.

Oh I'll definitely hang around here with you guyd for whatever happens with Starfield, for sure.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Particularly bold since their latest Gamepass "hit" involves a guy about to go on trial for domestic violence lol

 

[ShadowNate]

Well it is a good short speech. I am keeping the point it tries to make, which is a positive one and a good message for the times we've found ourselves in.

If he's talking about "cancellations", you bet the "no it's actually consequences" crowd are having a meltdown so good stuff.

 

[Dick Jones]

Phil should have spoken more about cats in his speech. Amateur.

 

[ByWatterson]

Did.....did Phil just call out cancel culture?

Because if so I'm inclined to overlook the hypocrisy in the rest of it.

Squanch acquisition confirmed.

 

[jigglet]

Era is on meltdown

Usually I understand why Era is on meltdown, even if I disagree.

But more and more I'm finding it difficult to understand what's even triggering them.

Phil said a few things which at most seem like it might annoy...and that would be the end of that. What did he say that was worthy of any more than a "stfu phil"? What are these SJW nuts getting angry about?

 

[Hendrick's]

Ugh. This is only the second time since switching back that I looked at an era thread out of morbid curiosity. They latched onto "cancel culture" in a millisecond and looking at the 11th page, never let go. What a headache.

Funny, that was my favorite part of his speech.

 

[demigod]

Squanch acquisition confirmed.

You jest, but this is probably true

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I will buy every developer

And we
Shall
Have
PEACE

 

[Jaybe]

Was this before or after all the Microsoft layoffs?

Probably because Era realizes that they are the "culture of cancellation" and Phil's words are an affront to what they stand for as a community.

When Era reaches this level of outrage it typically means something good was said or done.

Ok thanks for that

 

[Kacho]

This is partly an anti cancel-culture speech.

Surprised GAF didn't seem to notice that lol

All the mouth breathing console warriors here read the thread title and shitpost with wreckless abandon.

 

[Beechos]

Of course he doesnt want to divide people cause he wants everyone to play and develop on his xbox platform.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Phil hates cancel culture but MS would fire someone for not agreeing with pronoun culture

*Puts down pitchfork*
I might agree with Phil

 

[Synless]

How are those layoffs going Phil?

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Phil Spencer really needs to shut the fuck up with all the disingenuous kumbaya bullshit.

idk I kinda love it.. makes me laugh.

 

[Deerock71]

Phil Spencer really needs to shut the fuck up with all the disingenuous kumbaya bullshit.

Man, it's almost ripped the words out of my gray matter! You KNOW he wouldn't be saying this if the Series X/S ever won a month.

 

[remember_spinal]

Just come off as random PR babble, itt doesn’t even make sense anymore

 

[Klayzer]

[M16]

the balls on this guy, he literally made starfield xbox exclusive seconds after deal with bethesda goes through.

its not xbox exclusive. its available on windows and cloud. its available to more people to play than if microsoft didnt purchase bethesda.

 

[fermcr]

 

[gothmog]

its not xbox exclusive. its available on windows and cloud. its available to more people to play than if microsoft didnt purchase bethesda.

Bullshit. if Microsoft didn't purchase it we would have it on Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft , PC and VR platforms.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I just reread what he had to say. The man is a genius. A true god among men.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

why tf this guy keep getting awards ? seriously for what

Talking

Contrast to PS. Less talking, more games. I much rather the 'STFU and give me games approach' which PS has been doing well.

At this point it must even be frustrating for Xbox fans to keep hearing this guy run his mouth with nothing to show for it. I don't hate Spencer, I don't hate Xbox but it's getting old now all this talk. Its getting really fucking old.

EDIT: And if you can't give me games. Give me reasons to get excited for the coming games. Show me some Xbox studio tours or game developer interviews, previews, teasers. Any-fucking-thing, just stop talking and start showing something. Anything.
FUCK

Checked out the REEE thread and:

1. I cannot wait til Hogwarts Legacy dominates February.
2. Imma buy Hogwarts Legacy just to spite these clowns.

 

[Germuso]

Lies of P

 

[Fake]

Phil Spencer already bringing Era and GAF together.

He just need to bring games and release dates together as well.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Good. Didn’t say otherwise.

Please understand™

 

[Rippa]

 

[R3claimer117]

Not worried. I am never one to pretend to know how to run PlayStation or Xbox. I just enjoy listening to the couch quarterbacks

He’s a console warrior himself so I’m sure why the hypocrisy.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

This isn’t ResetEra. It’s not that we don’t notice. It’s that we don’t care.

I don't love it, nor do Sony players have to love MS acquisitions, but they aren't taking games away from players or taking developers away or whatever the nonsense was that I was replying to, no. Most of the time Sony lets the moneyhats release on PC as well, in both cases it's just the staunch supporters of the "other" platform that get left out. When Sony goes console only with these, they definitely limit the audience more than MS on Xbox/PC/Cloud, but still anyone can play it that really wants to play it. In MS's case you don't even need to get a good PC or another console, just buy a 3 Month GPU card and try to finish the game you wanted on Xcloud in that time frame.

Based Phil triggering Gaf and Era. What a chad

I just had a look. Literally within 10 replies it goes south.

It's 6:30am and I want to grab some popcorn.

 

[demigod]

Do you guys really believe the shit that you spew.

 

[SportsFan581]

Based Phil triggering Gaf and Era. What a chad

It's basically a given anytime you say you want to support all sides and create an inclusive environment without political or ideological division. The fringes of both sides of the coin never like that, as they really would prefer that only their views be supported and the other side be silenced, these tend to be the more vocal folks too.

 

[demigod]

Checked out the REEE thread and:

1. I cannot wait til Hogwarts Legacy dominates February.
2. Imma buy Hogwarts Legacy just to spite these clowns.

This has nothing to do with Hogwarts, ms does not have marketing for it.

 

[SportsFan581]

But.....Why?? What's he saying that's so offensive?

Some of y'all act like Phil Spencer actually physically hurt you. Creepy. Shit is creepy as shit...

As has already been said, the topic of discussion in this thread, for the most part, doesn't even match with what Spencer was talking about to begin with LOL
