Social News Cringe Xbox Boss: Heartening That People are Using Gaming as a Way to Stay Connected Following COVID-19 Measures

[Pallas]

Lol I love how any tweet, interview or announcement made by Phil Spencer triggers console warring responses.

Guy can’t take a shit without someone saying it’s for PR purposes and even If it’s refuted they are apparently “xbois” which is some low quality shit posting.

Using the virus situation to do Xbox PR. Never change Phil.

He says gaming not Xbox

 

[Psykodad]

Lol did Phil just promote Xbox too with that tweet?
In a time like this?

In all honesty, I would promote my product too.

People die and life goes on. It's a win-win anyway, because they sell their products and people have something to do at home.

 

[Night.Ninja]

A lot of upset angry people on the internet.

Becareful, some people here will report you for derailing the thread.

They should do away with the report button here and make people discuss and debate things like adults.

Fucking pussies.

When was live down?

He said gaming, not Xbox gaming or Xbox Live. This thread is a low point even for NeoGAF. Bloodborne used blood donations for cheap PR and everybody celebrated them, guess because it was a Sony game.

Cannot even get food from the supermarket. Video games are the last thing on my mind right now.

Why? Can't you leave your house?

If you're able to, go in the morning at opening time. I went to Morrisons yesterday and the shelves were like a warzone had hit them. Went this morning at 7am, all the shelves fully stocked.

 

[brap]

WWIII could happen and Phil would still tweet shit like this. Us gamers amirite?

Phil could tweet tomorrow that Microsoft ensured world peace and cured cancer and some people would moan about job cuts in the pharmaceutical and weapons industry. Some companies are evil and some are the knight in shining armor.

I like yours too, seems to fit perfectly. <3 MAD.

I can, but I currently stay at home as much as possible.

If you're able to, go in the morning at opening time. I went to Morrisons yesterday and the shelves were like a warzone had hit them. Went this morning at 7am, all the shelves fully stocked.

I went shortly after its opening, but the vast majority of shelves of vegtables, meat, and even pre-cooked food were empty. Our minister already told people during a press conference that hoarding food isn't necessary, but some people just cannot help themselves appearantly.

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Play, stay safe and GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING MONEY!,

 

[The Scrivener]

Although indeed heartening, if you're working from home already, be careful about sharing this on social media in case your boss sees it.

(I know you shouldn't be friends with your boss on social media, fuck, you shouldn't even be on social media at all.)

Phil trying to get people sacked, he's so fucking evil, him and Microsoft.

Well, his boss is/was Bill Gates. They want us to think it was all China's fault. Bill's masterplan is a-go. But me and you, Stuart, we know, we know...

Bill Gates has stepped down a long time ago. He was a board member but he didn't run the company.

It can be worse... Like Kojima trying to sell more copies of Death Stranding using the COVID-19 panic.

now thats what I call a new low. wtf

 

[Rat Rage]

Pretty shitty of Phil to use the coranavirus to score PR points.

What kind of statement is that even? Using "gaming" as a way of staying connected? Nobody needs gaming to stay connected. If you want to stay connected, just call and message people.

If anything, gaming is just a way of passing time during this crisis.

Oh god

 

[phil_t98]

Funny how quick people are to bad mouth a tweet without any product name in it at all. Then watch other tweets promote a game they made and not say anything. Gaf at its finest, never change lol

If am honest it is a serious good time to promote stay at home stuff I mean we have to do something while we are there right?

 

[cireza]

If you want to stay connected, just call and message people.

Thanks for the reminder !

 

[sublimit]

Watch shows, youtube, movies, browse gaf, television?

Or heaven forbid read a book??
