    This dude is a hypocrite 🙄

    So I guess when he bought all those companies it wasn’t slimy? Dude realized xbox lost the console war and wants to place nice

    I treat Phil like I do police officers. 

    Just assume everything he says is a lie

  3. Tumblrrito

    Right. And I’m sure this tune would be exactly the same if they were the ones leading the console wars.

  4. TillI_Collapse

    that’s rich coming from Microsoft as if they don’t have a long history of doing a bunch of “slimy platform things” and I am sure they would love to if they didn’t have regulators on their back all last year

  5. IGutlessIWonder

    PS won the console wars but console wars enthusiasts still rage. Its funny

    That shit’s day one game pass I’m here for it. And Treyarch never lets us down. I don’t give a shit, give me a good game. I don’t care about day one stuff on this platform or that, give me a fun game that runs well.

    I think slimy is already covered with “always online”…

    Court documents show them wanting to leverage COD for their own gain. Until the FTC got involved. Then Spencer offered concessions to get the deal past regulators. Otherwise they would buy the entire industry and keep everything to themselves.

    Translation: “We don’t get a return on investment by releasing only on Xbox.”

    At the end of the day, more games being available on all platforms is better for everyone. Xbox is making their games more available, and that’s good. The self-congratulating is a little ironic considering you need to be online to play the offline modes in call of duty, but you can’t win everything.

    Shut the fk up Phil , want to talk slimy let’s talk about the 1000s of people that lost there jobs , studios shut down , constantly over promising and under delivering, you lost your credibility over the years , don’t act like you’re on our side

    Then I will choose to play it with a controller that supports gyro.

  13. MechaSheeva

    “Slimy Platform Things” like we did until 2015 when we let Sony make a deal with Activision instead.

  14. secret_name_is_tenis

    What the fuck does that even mean

  15. clintnorth

    Oh fuck off Phil. You’re just saying that because you fucked up the Xbox brand

  16. ghost_in_the_potato

    Pretty sure doing slimy platform things is his entire job description…

  17. Microsoft do have a slimy history of screwing players over in the past. Phil Spencer is no exception

  18. tree_squid

    COD is already so deep in the slime, it’s already ruined. How about not calling COD itself a platform and let the separate games be separate fucking games that you can play the campaigns of offline? Fuck MS and fuck Call of Duty.

    And the first thing they are going to do is some slimy platform things… Ya’ll will still pre-order it despite what you say on here.

  20. LakSivrak

    can Xbox shut the hell up and make good games already instead of whining and driveling all over the industry. all I hear from them lately is either pure cope or “we’re the good guys we promise!”, this is pathetic to watch

  21. Henrarzz

    It’s funny coming from a guy from a company that started the slimy platform things during 360 days and bought two publishers two starve others from content

  22. N3_Planeswalker

    Isn’t it kind of a slimy platform thing saying “hey guys, don’t worry cod is on everything!” But in reality it’s “it’s on everything, but if you become our special friend (gp sub), you get it for “free” while those suckers pay full price!”

  23. Slimy platform things like closing Tango Game works to boost profit margins?

  24. Mr-GooGoo

    This is crazy coming from Microsoft (and activation) who are perhaps the slimiest gaming companies out there

  25. Bertuthald_McMannis

    Oh, you mean like they’ve just decided to do with the Starfield creation kit only yesterday!?

    That’s good news.

    Yeah, sure, pull the other one, Microsoft. It’s got microtransactions on it.

  27. TommyTomTommerson

    No but they’ll do slimy executive things and kill good studios

  28. RukiMotomiya

    Guess they should just buy studios and shut them down instead of putting them on exclusive games then?

  29. kinlopunim

    Which player is “choosing” online single player? Or a 300 gb install when contextual data will be through streaming.

  30. IppoDarui69

    Strange of them to say that when they bought activition and Bethesda with slimy incentive

  31. RipMySoul

    Phil Spencer will do anything but shut up and actually develop good games.

  32. Proper-Pineapple-717

    I mean, while a lot of us agree with the message. I dislike him more for the way he’s going about it.

  33. Logical-Criticism-38

    Lot of losers in this thread that are trying any reason to dislike Xbox despite doing a good thing for CoD. It’s a fuckin game, move on

  34. When looking at how people react to Phil Spencer it always seems like they either have some hater boner or blind love for the guy. I guess it’s somewhat common for public figures to get those reactions though.
