Good point.Eh, that's kinda easy for MS to say given that they own Windows.
Once all first party MS games start launching on Mac and Linux I'll believe his intention of spreading games everywhere
And that's all consumers really care about. If we don't defend the corporate bottom line then who will?Releasing games on pc day 1 as console is typical "how to devalue your console 101"
playstation releasing on their own system and then a few years later so pc people can benchmark etc is smarter and makes them more money in the long run.
Xgaf certainly knows how to make excuses for him. Cant wait either.That man certainly knows how to trigger SonyGAF. Cant wait for sunday.
Of course he is wrong. The PS platform and PC are totally seperate. Why do MS want me to pay for the windows OS for my laptops even though I own it for my PC?
When i buy the digital version of movie do MS throw in the Blu-Ray for free? Sony aren't PC centric like MS.....
My man I pay for quality with pleasure. I think Phil did a better brainwashing job making people think AAA gaming should be done for free*WOW, I'd never thought someone will beat Apple's fanatics, and yet here we are, good job Jimbo.
Dude, he is the one who literally made Microsoft focus on xbox. I dont know what the fk you smoking. He has been given a fking mess from don matrik. And what did he do after took the position? Buy minecraft, by convincing Microsoft. Fixed the horrible mistake xbox one was, by releasing x1s, then x1x. He literally made gamepass for the xbox. Went to hunt studios. And now made xbox a strong console. The same xbox, that don put in the ground.
If you hate him that is fine. But don't say he ruined xbox. He freaking put yakuza, which was known as a Playstation games. Tell me, how do you think xbox players felt, when they saw the yakuza series on their console. He even freaking gave them MLB the show, and exclusive Playstation game, day 1 for xbox players.
eh.Eh, that's kinda easy for MS to say given that they own Windows.

hey i have no stake in gaming, sports, etc however I LOVE when my home team winsAnd that's all consumers really care about. If we don't defend the corporate bottom line then who will?
That wasn't because of kinect. MS wanted to have 8gb of ram. When they were designing XBox GDDR3 was only viable option for that which forced them to add esram and because of that they had smaller transistor budget for GPU. PS4 was supposed to have 4gb of ram, but Sony was lucky that RAM prices felt way more than anticipated and they were able to upgrade project to 8gb.The 'PR blunder' as you put it crippled the X1 for its entire life. Kinect actually reduced the CPU capability of the device and GDDR 3 ruined the GPU.
the fact that yakuza and mlb was on playstation for years disapproves what you trying to say.They chucked a huge sack of cash to Sega for Yakuza, these games have been out for years. MLB made the decision not Xbox to make it multiplatform, again with another huge sack of cash going the MLB (and Sony's way).
I'm seeing a pattern here.
It's actually a terrible point. A complete non sequitur.Good point.
How big of a problem is PC piracy in 2021? Literally everyone I know who used to pirate has stopped now, maybe it’s an age thing I don’t know but I’m guessing it’s also their Steam library they don’t want banned, Epic’s free games, humble bundle, cheap summer sales etc that is keeping them away from piracy.I don't agree. They opened a Steam Page and partnered with Epic. Jim Ryan seems to be putting a heavy focus on PC gaming. But of course, PC gaming is still HEAVILY pirated. It makes sense they want to delay to sell more on consoles.
I can't deny that it's entertaining at times but it also gets tiring to see all that warrior energy thrown about due to engineered misinformation.It's linked here often because a lot of their articles are sensationalist console warrior bait (like this one is) and GAF loves that.
Why would Sega and MLB say no to the huge cash bags? Sega are ported over games they have made loads off on the Playstation platform. MLB wanted to make their game multiplatform as they knew MS would chuck money their way, why would they say no.the fact that yakuza and mlb was on playstation for years disapproves what you trying to say.
After seeing him intro with Playstation Studios on the remake and all the MGS easter eggs there's literally no way MS has anything on itlol lmao.
This might be true today, but I strongly suspect come Sunday we are gonna be looking at Phil in another light.
I think they are about to have a kickass show. Not just because they now have 23 studios, but also because there is a good chance Bluepoint and Kojima are making games for him. If those MGS remake rumors are true, thats a $120 game for me. Anything kojima makes is priceless. Bethesda games are an easy buy.
I dont know. This is a silly thing for him to even talk about, but hes done a good job staying quiet this year which leads me to believe that he might actually have a good show planned.
Expect some news later this year.Eh, that's kinda easy for MS to say given that they own Windows.
Once all first party MS games start launching on Mac and Linux I'll believe his intention of spreading games everywhere
Oh come on lol. What a stupid excuse. Spencer is absolutely the same shit you see on sony. Just more egocentric.
So was/has/is Microsoft. That is typical in gaming. But Spencer seems to think he can wag his finger at others for doing it for some reason.
The Falconeer just stopped being a timed exclusive (in so much a PS4/5 & Switch version has been announced for release in August) and we know The Medium is another oneWhat games are currently and/or coming soon that are timed-exclusive on Xbox?
sure, bud.
What games are currently and/or coming soon that are timed-exclusive on Xbox?
You can play these games via xcloud on Mac, Linux etc.Eh, that's kinda easy for MS to say given that they own Windows.

There are 13 timed exclusives in this list:
https://www.lifewire.com/list-of-exclusive-games-xbox-series-x-5079143
Spencer, unfortunately, has. Speaking about DLC marketing deals a couple of years back, he said: “Paying marketing funds so another consoles base can't play a piece of content doesn't feel like growth.” When called out for his comments, he added: “ never said Xbox has never done this. [I’m] not calling out others, [it’s] just not practice I like, that's it.”
I mean he has also said this:
Xbox Sure Did Announce a Lot of Timed Exclusives This Week
But it's not a fan of themwww.pushsquare.com
https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/07/xbox-series-x-exclusives-phil-spencer/I find it completely counter to what gaming is about to say that part of that is to lock people away from being able to experience those games. Or to force someone to buy my specific device on the day that I want them to go buy it, in order to partake in what gaming is about. Gaming is bigger than any one device…
So we all know he doesn't like it, but it's the nature of the business.
lol, such a politicianI mean he has also said this:

For fucks sake, are you 12 years old? "Look at Phil Spencer pretending to be a friend of PlayStation when he is actually just a big ol' meanie!"this mofo is the slimiest PoS in the business. congratulating Sony studios left and right (such a bro ) and after that he says stupid shit like this in Interviews. At least don't pretend
Edit: No I have to correct myself. That sweaty creep from Gearbox(?) doing magic tricks is no.1. After that come Phil and chubby Greenburger #xgonegiveittoya
I think this might be happening soon. Microsoft either needs to drastically improve their own storefront so PC players don't mind playing games on it, or they should partner up with Steam. Hopefully Sony does something similar (either creating their own store or partnering with Epic).I'd probably buy a Series X if 1. I could play games bought on Steam on it, and 2. It had actual backwards compatibility for all original Xbox games.
I think it's clear that long-term he wants close to 30 studios so he doesn't have to pay for exclusivity. The timed-exclusive stuff was to buy time until Microsoft starts churning them out every quarter.After buying timed exclusivity for Rise of Tomb Raider, Spencer said timed exclusives were not going to be their long term strategy and yet here we are and the Xbox lineup has more timed exclusives than console exclusives. I'd rather he just say it is "the nature of the business" and leave it at that.

I mean, does he though? That wasn't a terrible thing to say and he was honest.That's fine. In the meantime, he needs to.....

Medium? And probably more will come thanks to your new Jesus GamePass all in for the gamers rights. We need to be very naive to think temporal exclusive won't come anymore on Xbox because studios acquisitions. Lolsure, bud.
What games are currently and/or coming soon that are timed-exclusive on Xbox?
Yes MS are very consumer friendly. They're so friendly they started charging to go online? F2P was behind a paywall including services like Netflix. That's how pro consumer MS was. They started the money hatting of AAA and to prevent them from releasing on a rival platform. Refused crossplay because they were in the lead in the X360 era. But that all changed when they lost the last gen and they looked for a new strategy which included PC their main platform.Remind me what Sony is doing again to be pro-consumer? Weren't they a company that believed in generations and straight up lied to their fans? No free upgrades, no cross-play, no cross-buy, no PS1, PS2, or PS3 BC.
Phil's a Microsoft employee with Microsoft's best interests in mind, making games cross-platform, cross-play, allowing free upgrades to the XSX versions, and allowing you to play your games from the cloud, Xbox - Xbox One BC with 4k and framerate updates, buying games or allowing us to subscribe to them is all beneficial to Microsoft as well as the gamers and it keeps the gamers on the platform but in a very pro-consumer way. There's nothing wrong with choices.
It might happen, but "he doesn't like it".Medium? And probably more will come thanks to your new Jesus GamePass all in for the gamers rights. We need to be very naive to think temporal exclusive won't come anymore on Xbox because studios acquisitions. Lol
Here before but they have to respond fire against fire bullshit. As Sony would have many other alternatives. lol.Yes MS are very consumer friendly.

The X1 was designed with Kinect in mind. Part of its CPU power budget was dedicated to running the Kinect which meant less power for other tasks. The GPU RAM issue was on top of Kinect. You can add in the TV TV TV focus and it shouldn't be surprising that it wasn't a great platform for games. It had multiple issues.That wasn't because of kinect. MS wanted to have 8gb of ram. When they were designing XBox GDDR3 was only viable option for that which forced them to add esram and because of that they had smaller transistor budget for GPU. PS4 was supposed to have 4gb of ram, but Sony was lucky that RAM prices felt way more than anticipated and they were able to upgrade project to 8gb.
Phil is very good at promises:That man certainly knows how to trigger SonyGAF. Cant wait for sunday.
Such a low move to critize other companies business model, let people make money they way they think it's ok as long as the don't damage others, if it doesn't work then they'll see
Sure, I've had no mercy criticizing Sony too, but the thread is about MSAlmost as low as being critical of crossgen games while hiding your crossgen versions of games.
Or..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................stop the hate and realize that yes he is right. What Sony is doing is flip-flopping this has nothing to do with the damn sales.Damn I was critical of Sony for going to PC but if Phil is this shook they must be on to something
Maybe Horizon outsold all of their recent PC games
No, wasn't that back in 2019? -- I can't remember.Wait we had at least one game, didn't we? Forza Horizon 4, does that count?
I read the first page and it reads like a bunch of drunken, pissed off sailors.That man certainly knows how to trigger SonyGAF. Cant wait for sunday.
true, reeks of abusive spouse syndromeIt might happen, but "he doesn't like it".
"Look what you made me do!"
How would you deal with steams cut if the game is free? You're being a moron dude.Yeah, but bunch of people won't use Windows Store. Why Phil then don't allow free upgrade for Steam users if he is so proud on releasing games on PC/Xbox/cloud simultaneously and charging it once?
Phil is very good at promises:
Over promise/under deliver! Phil is the man!
