“You just shut down 4 studios and 100+ jobs.”
“Yeah man the Fallout show was sick have you seen that yet?”
This is the kind of shit why people in other countries hate us. People I. Gaza are dying and yet everyone is angry about a billion dollar corporation closing some studios.
The xbots hypocrisy, they saying we hate MS yet still paying and playing MS games.
@@ArielCleirigh ehh.... you can hate a company and still enjoy a product they make.
@@ivibs1984which product would that be? Their biggest seller right now are the ‘broken promises of his Philness’ and all reporting states, the shit ain’t selling!
For real lmao
I work for a big corporation. When we have meetings; so many words are spoken, very little is said.
How familiar 😂
Meetings are 10% getting everyone on the same page and 90% some narcissist who gets a high off of hearing themselves talk.
Exactly
@@FMBriggs When I worked for the federal government we had so many of those “all hands meetings” and it was just the higher ups talking a bunch of pointless stuff. On my remote days I’d just mute the call and play games 😂
My corporate meetings were filled with manipulative psychopaths trying to throw each other under the bus 😅 I was really good at such office politics, but couldn't imagine doing that for decades. Yeesh, what does that to your soul?
She's got a future in politics for not answering questions directly and lying
Head of FTC Lina Khan does same thing but worse
@@daksans6764No one cares.
@@Agent789_0 Lina Khan is responsible for making Activision deal a nightmare
It’s honestly impressive how little Sarah actually says with how much she talks in this interview
Phil Spencer does the same thing
I hate PR talking so much
A whole lot of nothing and you can see the soulless speak. You can see she trying so hard to get fired it sucks sad for her
It's worthless tbh
@@asjejeI wouldn’t go that far. Trying to get fired? Doesn’t make any logical sense. She was trying to be a politician, she just didn’t do it well. Nothing against her, just wasn’t very smooth. Very tough position though with no good answers. I don’t know if anyone could have done better unless they admitted even a good game, doesn’t matter if it comes down to revenue. But that would have sounded terrible. She tried.
All companies do this BS
I don't know how u can live like that at least work
Her body language felt like she realized she was a scapegoat.
100%. In that aspect, I feel for her.
For real lol
Oh please. I can’t take this nonsense anymore. She was awful and incompetent in this interview, period! I’m so tired of people who pretend she’s a victim.
She talks as if she's never played a game before. It was like a list of buzzwords put into a paragraph.
@@raskolnikov6443I was thinking this too.
Throw her to the wolves? She's President of Xbox. Thats part of her job.
It's more than obvious that it was her job to speak with the press ... but maybe it was not her decision in the first place. So yes, she has been thrown.
@hassosigbjoernson5738 She's one of the top executives. She's expected to speak and should've been more prepared. Phil and Matt should've been on there, too.
@@whiskeyniner6416 They're so scared right now 🤣
Diversity hire lol
@@etceterax144No one wants to say it but that's exactly what she is.
If I were that interviewer I’d have reread the exact same question immediately after Sarah Bond stopped talking.
Problem is... if you do that, they won't come to your interviews anymore. It's a bit of "we pretend we're asking questions, you pretend to answer them." People don't like being asked tough questions and go someplace else where the interviewer is friendlier. Then they'll get the interviews everyone clicks on, they'll get the exclusive information and you'll probably even lose your job as a journalist. If you lose access to key industry people, what's the point in keeping you? Especially since someone else might have that access. At the end of the day, interviews require both sides to be comfortable. If you make people uncomfortable, don't expect them to give you any interviews.
@@octavianpopescu4776 We really need stricter laws on this. Journalism is integral to holding politics and big business accountable and yet 99.9% of journalism is held hostage by those they do stories on simply because there is always someone else who'll give an easier interview for a higher pay cut. Specific kinds of interviews should be protected, so that if someone refuses to answer your question, they get sued, even if your journalism outlet doesn't want to press charges. The government should just do it.
Now I understand of course this will never happen. But it REALLY should.
Bro got his foot on xbox neck😂😂😂
LMAO literally what I thinking
Deservedly so
😂😂😂 my boy said we need a deep case study of 360 Era 🔥
Good fuck Xbox
The whole of RUclips has
Say what you will about Don Mattrick and his "we have a product for people who don't have an internet connection" line but it was probably the last honest straight forward answer we got from an Xbox executive.
It was an absolutely terrible answer, but it was at least an honest one.
It was so honest and damaging that Xbox still hasn't recovered from it.
@@chase5436
Not really. It wasn't one line from one executive that's completely damaged Xbox. It's the string of critical errors over the years that has kept damaging Xbox, exponentially as those missteps add up.
@@G360LIVE exactly I’m tired of still blaming only this guy who said this 11 years ago and ignoring everything in between
@@zwillscoopchannel9689 - Exactly it was the focus on TV, the internet requirement, the Kinect inclusion not being optional, blocking game sharing, the console being priced $100 more than PS4, and a number of other factors that spun into the perfect storm. Don Mattrick maybe came off a bit cold but i'd personally much prefer an executive be blunt and honest than to sugarcoat things or lie like Phil Spencer and the rest do.
I'm gonna be real for a second. Say that to me in 2024 and I'm sold in an instant:
No internet means no games as a "Service", Games have to be finished at launch, no DLCs, no microtransactions...
don't think Bond has ever held a controller in her life
Why would you need to to run a company? Sure it would be nice but it doesn't add anything
You clearly don't k ow her background.
@@AA_dagr8t Working at T-Mobile and introducing throttling?
@@AA_dagr8t Look at how she lit up to mobile and cloud being mentioned. But as soon as in home hardware was brought up, total lack of confidence.
She's a total gamer gurl these guys just don't like seeing strong African American birthing persons of color in places of power disrupting their patriarchal boys club that has gate keeped the traditionally cis white conservative non birthing persons corporate land scape for decades.
What has Sarah Bond done that is worth any praise? Disagree on this notion that she was thrown to the wolves. She’s taking the heat
Matty has more hits this week than Kendrick Lamar
Negativity sells
@@iainadie His positive videos about Fallout last week, all have more views though...
He's just being critical where its necessary @iainadie
His negative view on these topics are 100% warranted. Anyone who says “this is just for clicks or views” is truly delusional.
who??
Sarah bond: masterclass in wheel-spinning, michelin star in word vomit
It was at this moment she realized she F***ed up 😂💀
Fuck the shareholders, consumers first.
Putting the customer first always pays off in the long run, these execs only have a quarterly view of things.
Yet half the people that make this complaint ARE shareholders. Some directly, some through 401k or other vehicles of investment. It’s easy to point at some mythical “them” but these big institutional funds that most people don’t bother to look at their portfolio, just the numbers coming in are also invested in Microsoft thus they are part of the issue. This all sucks, but have no illusion the the shareholders are a lot of the same people freaking out.
“Game budgets are too high and profits are too low.” -every publisher
MAKE THE BUDGETS SMALLER HOLY SHIT
They'll still charge 70.00 for smaller games
But then how will their excuses live😭
Why so people like you can complain when a game comes in with a 30fps?
They can’t do that because then they would lose their only ‘reasonable’ excuse
@@kennyleo08you have no idea what you’re talking about, kid
Indie games are just the way to go now. They're the closest thing to the good ol days of gaming .
Sarah Bond is a Harvard-Mckinsey product, an increasingly embarrassing combo
Lies she is from Yale😊
Bond‘s body language is all over the place in this interview. Where‘s that hidden gun pointing at her?
The gun was attached to the camera.
Kendrick vs drake beef ❌
Matty vs Xbox / Microsoft ✅
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from my observations over the last few years it doesn't feel as though the gaming industry as a whole is flat, but rather the american gaming industry has fallen flat. I look at games like Resident evil 4, elden ring, crusader kings 3, baldur's gate 3, all fantastic games all from outside the U.S.
Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?
It’s absolutely not just you. She’s out of touch and clueless
Western AAA gaming is legit dying outside of a small few IPs
Look at hoyoverse star rail had 20 million downloads in a single day and now their new game got 30+million pre-registered players in less than 24 hours. They keep getting growth by making what customers want. Xbox keeps blaming the industry when it's fine and Xbox is the problem.
Agreed 100 percent. I had a blast playing these and other AAA games released last year. I have been playing games since 1989. And 2023 was for me the best in terms of gaming.
The eastern devs have esp. shined the brightest last year - Nintendo, Namco, Capcom, SE, and more.
It's only that the western studios that have fucked up. Sony is now a western greedy corp like all others. There is no hope from the western side. The reason is that they are forcuing on gayrbage ideology rather than entertaining gamers.
Flat doesn’t mean no good games or absolute successes, flat means as an average. And the rest of the world is included in that average, yes
Trusting Sarah Bond with video games is like trusting the fox to guard the henhouse.
@16:12 3.5 years later and I'm still asking "what big AAA games every quarter?"
They sent her out to deal with wolves. Booty and Spencer are scared to come out.
All three need to go.
They will be out come June 9th when its somewhat safe
phil been coming out every other week with damage control ever since before the beginning of the year. what are you talking about?
Why did they need to go there? This is Bloomberg. This looked great for Xbox. Look at that graphic in the background. Investors aren't gamers.
@@kennyleo08
- *"Investors aren't gamers."*
And thats why these companies are failing. The real money comes from the customers. The gamers. Making things look good for the investors is pointless without a solid customer base. Its just a fancy looking lie. Otherwise known as "propaganda".
Japanese AAA publishers (Capcom, Sega): "We made billions in profit? Okay, give our devs a raise."
Western AAA publishers (MS, EA, Take-Two, etc): "We made billions in profit? Okay, we need to 'restructure for a more efficient business model'...by laying devs off."
*Ahem. Sega fires a lot of their employees. What do you mean?
why do you only care about video game employees getting layed off and literally nothing else?
@@evp159 Cause without employees and developers, the AAA studios will fail.
@@darthvader473 Sega of America. Not their home Japanese branch, doing that is seen as shameful in Japanese Corporate Business Culture.

Have been Following you for a while...this last week..... as much as I have been critical on Xbox due to their failure...Redfall, Starfield ...Im Im SO PROUD to see you stand up on this bs. Thankyou
I can’t understand how anyone had faith in Bond? She’s left a trail of destruction behind her everywhere she’s been and has never borne the consequences of it. Definition of failing up.
I dont think she failed up. She was hired for president 7 months ago, the company knew they were failing by then. She was always meant to be the face of this failure. I believe she was hired as a scape goat. Doesn't mean she's good at her job but xbox's issues started long before she came on and the path was already set in stone when she came on. We were always going to end up here with this scenario. They didnt do her a favor, she's the fall guy for someone elses screw up
@@amber88565 She'll still get paid several million dollars so she doesn't care.
Please enlighten us on this destruction since you follow her career path lol.
@@amber88565also to add to Ambers comment.
There’s a new market now for higher ups who are brought in for certain situations. Like a company collapsing, a bad PR situation. They are PR wise seen as a scapegoat. But that’s why they were brought in, to take the flack at the expense of others and they are paid very handsomely for it.
How on Earth is this women in such a high position in the company? Everywhere I look, in every industry, it feels like the least qualified people are in charge of everything.
Yall remember in 2020 when everyone clowned Sony for saying subscriptions weren't sustainable.
That's the thing, it's obvious that subscriptions are not enough to cover the cost of AAA production, maybe even AA based on what happened to Tango Gameworks.
Called people ponies for pointing out an obviously unsustainable model.
I'm guessing you don't remember that playstation now service got axed out when sony was planning to make a gamepass equivalent service right after the not sustainable statement.
On top of that, You also had sony shutting down possibly some of the most creative developers in the industry (JAPAN Studios) You know how many people worked on there? You know how many classics were completely destroyed? Including the VERY reason why bloodborne remaster or a PC release will never be a thing? Yeah. Don't forget that, Pony.
Pepperidge Farms remembers
@@YuriTardedTardedROFL! Look at the Xbot trying to paint Sony as being just as incompetent as MS. Nice try kiddo, but it doesn't work.

I say this as a fan of Xbox since the early 360 days: Xbox can get fucked.
And so can you
Because they closed a few studios?
@@EggEnjoyer
Lying, misleading, wasting 6 years for nothing, destroying great franchises, AND closing a few studios
@@markitobarca its ok buddy xbox will survive no need to put your hurt onto others
why would u be a fan of something you don't like? that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Sarah Bond definitely was dodging the question about people's anger for shutting down the studios that made Hi-Fi Rush.
I agree with you on that one.
At least Xbox gamers are waking up to the lies
When the Xbox brand completely falls apart, none of the goodwill will be left, unlike with Sega whose Dreamcast is venerated as a noble martyr to this day
I swear the Xbox executives are clueless.
Media: "Xbox has no games"
Xbox: Proceeds to close four gaming studios.
Games and studios are different they have loads of studios who haven't made good games. So just loads of people getting paid for games meh compared to indie games sad truth.
Cancelled my game pass ultimate membership yesterday. I was hardly ever using it, and this all just gave me the push to actually bother to get around to getting rid of it since they're probably increasing the price again soon.
Same, I got a decent backlog of owned games. Until they take that digitally away too.
I can't believe I canceled mine yesterday as well. I just got GamePass Core now because I no longer felt that the $16.99 was justifiable. I did the same thing with my PS Plus subscription though. I started off with PS Plus Extra and then for three or four months I had PS plus Premium but I just went back to Extra because to me the premium tier was not justifiable.
who wants to play a triple A game on their cellphone?
"Don't you guys have phones?" is exactly what they are thinking collectively: They really think we're some mindless spines that needs to be milked, that's how detached they are.
You shall live in the pod, play the live service, sorry AAA, game and be happy
Literally no one aye I really don't get it
@@freebody_unfortunately8325 for me gaming will always be on a midsized 4k television or monitor. The idea of playing a FF7 rebirth or Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 on a cellphone or an ipad is nonsensical. Even when I play my Nintendo Switch 99 percent of the time its hooked up to my tv. Its hard to follow along and get great performance on a small screen.
Japan and China and many more.
Mobile gaming is bigger than console and pc gaming combined.
I don’t understand it, but it is a fact.
Sarah Bond shouldn't be in that high of a position if she can't handle the PR part of it. Or Microsoft should put her through a training course or something.
Never have I heard someone talk this much and say so little. Worse than politicians. Amazing.
Also finally, a mobile store where I can play freakin Candy Crush and Minecraft! Thank you Microsoft.
Dude honestly Ive been so pissed at this situation, I no longer consider myself an Xbox fan anymore. Your coverage has given me time to vent as you vent.
why?
Just be a fan of gaming in general. These companies don't know you or care if you're a "fan" really. They just want you to buy their games and use their products. You're not beholden to one brand. Imagine you only wore Adidas and no other clothes 😂
Vote with your wallet. IF money is all they care about then, let's stop giving it to them.
Wait until you find out Nintendo and Sony are just as shitty as Xbox.
@@BajatheChickenManvoting with you wallet has never been a thing, my friend, especially in the modern day. Just because a particular game succeeds… these companies don’t care, they will cut the team responsible as soon as they aren’t seen profitable anymore. If a game fails, there’s no lesson to be learned, simply delete the team and collect. 😊
Dude the nervous body movement transition from those first questions to the mobile store question is so big
Costs for everything has gone way up. It’s not just programming. Buy a $70 game that’s buggy and broken or six items at the grocery store and a drop of fuel for the car. Library books are still free.
4:04 Lol, I had to replay that part 3 times, because I was shocked you mentioned the Ouya, even if it was probably by accident.😂
Now I didn’t see the Bloomberg interview, just what was shown here. But did she seriously just only mention Indiana Jones’s and never mention hellblade 2, which is out in two weeks?
R.I.P Ninja theory
The content and media spin with bloomberg wasn't for us; its for investors.
As gamers yes, we are wired in and ready for those triple A titles.
This would explain why Sarah was mostly talking about mobile crap which is a cashcow for investors --
A lot of the comments are missing the reason for these kinds of interviews.
Sarah was yet again, reassuring investors on their trajectory --
Us gamers shouldn't expect much until late May, early June, just before June 9th conference.
Can’t wait to see his video after they raise Game Pass prices, again.
I mean to be fair they've only raised GP prices once... didn't they?? And if they're putting CoD into it day1, I mean... I really don't see any issues with it going up $1-$2. Is this not a fair alternative to needing to dish out $70 for every game we play? It just doesn't make any sense t ome to be complaining about this, but yet soome would complain about CoD not going into GP day1.
I got to say that that was some fine finesse footwork as she danced around those questions! If it wasn't for you, Matty, I would have had no fucking idea what the hell she was even talking about according to the questions that she was asked.
Satoru Iwata, may he rest in peace, decided against massive layoffs during the Wii U era because he believed that a fully-staffed Nintendo with experienced and skilled employees would have a better chance of recovering. It did so with the Switch.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is doing the complete opposite and calling it a healthy business decision. Microsoft is the sick one.
Don't spare her, she is part of the problem.
Exactly, these shills including fking matty are trying spare her...
She is a woman and black, she will get a pass.
she was hired 7 months ago, the ship was already sinking when she was hired. I high key think she was always meant to be the face of this failure. its honestly sad
@@amber88565 No, she became president of Xbox 7 months ago. She's been with Microsoft since 2017.
She’s a diversity hire lmfao
This tells you 2 things : Gamepass is bad for the business - & - Xbox still hasn’t made a high-$$$ AAA title like God Of War Ragnarok or Spiderman 2018 in the last 12 yrs
Is that the reason they think about putting Xbox exclusive games to Playstation? It is a way to keep gamepass while generating revenue somewhere else.
Gamepass was always a mistake.
They actually have released very few amazing games, but they launch on gamepass. Forza Horizon 5 is an amazing game, it destroys every other racing game, but it was a GamePass game so it didn't sell.
Gamepass is just bad for business, but good for gamers.
@@omanjackson17Sure seems like it. Granted its a gamble that will not pay off. Xbox has devalued their 1st party releases and consoles, so not sure what else they can do besides go 3rd party in order to save as many studios as possible.
Well it is kinda obvious that game pass would be bad for business when it comes to direct sales of day one games just for the fact the players that pay for gamepass are limited , so you have a hard revenue limit unlike direct sales .
Also , with this mentality xbox would shutdown from software when demon souls released and didn't sell well instead of supporting them to reach the point when they made elden ring and sold 12 million copies in 3 days . Again the vision and approach of most AAA studios is simply not sustainable and the problem is they'll just keep doubling down on this behavior
Xbox trying to strike a chord and it’s probably a minoooooooooorrrrrrrrr amount of faith from consumers going forward
It's not 33 million subscribers, it's 25 million gamepass subscribers plus 8 million Xbox Core subscribers. Xbox lied
What is xbox core bro?
@deathmark1940 it was xbox live but now its xbox core, its the cheapest subscription amd you get access to roughly 30 games. But really its just to play online like it's always been. Gp ultimate is still the best choice especially if you get it cheaper on eneba
@@deathmark1940gold
These out of touch executives all need to be fired. There has to be accountability. You made the purchases of these studios. It's your job to ensure they thrive. Shame on all of you.
That would be nice. I agree. But you're literally asking them to fire themselves. That's never going to happen.
@@Jay-fu2ev They've got bosses.
It's actually the shareholders, so firing people isn't going to change anything. Large shareholders get to elect who is on the board. This goes up to the very top. Phil Spencer isn't solely to blame here. Sure he has his responsibilities but firing him won't change anything. It would just be pinning the blame on him.
If you know Chelsea Football club they fired managers for the club doing poor but it's the people up the top and the new owner knows nothing about the sport. He spent a billion but money hasn't bought the team any success. The club is filled with bureaucracy. Firing people hasn't helped them either. As the problem is at the very top.
Fire them and then what?
The next guy/gal will still have to dig the company out anyway.
More layoffs are unavoidable.
Xbox execs are digging out, and dmg control mode as per usual.
The next xbox exec will have to answer and dance for investor roundtable and Daddy Microsoft too.
This wont change a goddamn thing.
@@Jay-fu2ev Nadella Microsoft CEO can fire them.
I can’t believe you got people really defending Xbox in these comment sections. Xbox as a brand has been on the back foot the last two generations. Their current generation is laughably pathetic. They can’t release games at all. Sony is lapping them back to back. This is sad to see in comparison to the Xbox 360 days.
I can't believe it took 3 years for everyone to question why x box controls so many great ip all of a sudden. Everyone was uncomfortably cool defending x box during the acquisitions because that's what was cool to Do. To many parrots
I cant believe fanboys always defend Sony and Xbox. Both are companies that want to make money.
@@2greenify why wouldnt big corporations be out to make money lol?? be pretty pointless otherwise
Agreed. It feels like console wars all over again. Xbox has shot themselves in the foot so many times in the last decade and they’ve been so complacent with their IP’s that I don’t have any hope for them, prior to this all happening.
@@goblin3810to be fair most of the studios acquired by MS were once great, but now starting to get past their prime (BGS, Blizzard etc). I think old fans were hopeful new management and investment could reinvigorate them. Not a view I personally held, but I think a lot of people felt that way.
Where’s Phil Spencer? Is this Sarah Bond now the head of Xbox?
I’m happy to see a giant corporation begin to fail.
When is the “Not like us”-styled Xbox diss track dropping, Matty???
Matty is having a field day with xbox 😂
Need to call this out though. Gaming is a luxury item. The economy is not great and people are being let go of their jobs due to budget. Therefore, if you had no job and had to make a decision of paying for your housing and groceries and adding Gaming on top of that, which would you choose? A necessity or a luxury? That's why gaming is not making money.
It's the Xbox One launch internet pile-on all over again.
Matty loves a good Fallout.
I don't remember who said it but "Microsoft is the Disney of the video game industry".
Disney bought Fox for $70bn
Xbox bought Activision for $70bn
Disney bet everything on Disney Plus
Xbox bet everything on Gamepass
Disney destroyed Marvel and Lucasfilm
Xbox destroyed Tango Game Works and Arkane Texas
Disney are DEI obsessed
Xbox are DEI obsessed
Disney lost their core audience
Xbox are losing theirs....
Microsoft is the Microsoft of the industry. They've been doing this for decades, but nobody can remember anything from the last month apparently.
This gen was a huge L considering you're relying on a corny subscription service, banking on Starfield, and a useless 70B Acquisition with no vision. Xbox is run by a bunch of idiots 🤡

Wasnt there suppose to be a new Skate game coming?
Just realizes she maybe a DEI hire. But a scapegoat… from the real corporate assholes…
Corporations do exactly what the government tells them to do. If the government wants to create an openly fascist regime, they put useful idiots in place who assert Liberal Marxist ideologies and policies in order for people to reject them (classic reverse psychology tactic).
DEI and ESG is only in place to create anger and hatred towards Liberals so people will be more willing to accept Conservative Fascism as the solution to our problems. You will understand this after DJT is reinstalled in the White House as dictated by the Roman Catholic Church. (DJT is a descendant of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, after all, just like every other "elected" President has been from Washington until the present.)
The people that are defending her are part of the problem. She is literally the “President of Xbox”, that is objectively an unacceptable answer.
Props to Matty for having the guts to call out Xbox. I’ve seen so much cope the last few years and y’all still wanna be soft and wonder why we ended up here.
That was a bunch of word salad. She didn’t really answer the question.
Matty with the Ai: Somnia Files music in the background though 😮. A man of culture
What game is at 4:30 looks cool
Sarahs been the biggest problem. She been the biggest dei pusher throughout the company, shes also in charge of games delivery. with each promotion she gets. The company gets worse.
I wish I could amplify your comment because it is so true and unfortunately I rarely see it talked about.
Man.. you know it's bad when you make back to back videos, You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs cause you're usually a channel of postive energy and only speak up when things actually need to be addressed, saddens me that we're seeing Xbox turn to the late Sega of modern times.
Too many studios and publishers chased the GTA online golden money ticket and now we are seeing the result of this failure. We are seeing the result of micro transactions, pay to win and always online games as a service. Even online IP's such as Destiny, Overwatch and the Division are slowing down and stagnating.
We are seeing the result of the gaming industry treating gamers as potential whales.
More PlayStation/switch ports will save the brand
I don't know what the "excitement" of seeing Sarah Bond rising through the ranks is.
Every time I've heard her speak, it's like she's just a figurehead that failed upward being told what to say.
She carries herself well, but she just says word salad that seems like she's going off memory of what someone told her to say, and nothing is her own thought.
That’s a good point
I'm relieved that some people can sense that. She reminds me of a robot that nervously says the script she's been programmed to read. I'd be excited to see her go down the ranks until she's ultimately fired.
The fate of every DEI hire. At least Microsoft can afford her without going broke...yet.
Throw her to the wolves??? She earns A LOT of money, man. She is paid to be there and answer the tough questions.
Also, Bond serves on the boards of organizations such as Zuora, Chegg, and the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). She benefits of all this stuff
The thousand yard stare 😂
It's not just gaming, inflation strikes everywhere
I'm 52, and have been gaming 40+ years. I like all consoles - but Microsoft very, very, very clearly don't give two shites any more (if they ever truly did) about the XBox platform, and gaming. At this stage, my XB has a small fraction of the games that my PS5 has, largely because it simply has a dearth of MS-exclusive titles of note. MS patently does *Not* care about its own XB platform, or gaming.
I imagine this is true... Microsoft at this time see's the gaming division as an expense and its time to collect...
So yea, parent company never probably cared but is most definitely a lot more eager to see some serious return on these hedged bets and sadly, gamepass among other titles since 2021 really havent panned out for Daddy Phil and others...
Also about Starfield. When is console mod support coming? Been waiting on that since January
7:22 I think it is a key moment when she talks about Fallout TV Show, maybe they were just waiting to see the feedback about the tv show, before going forward with the closures. It is related to the focus on main/existing successful IPs.
I'm glad you brought how it sucks that Sarah Bond had to face the music alone since most of Xbox's wounds have been caused by Matt Booty and Phil Spencer instead of completely ragging on her
well, she is the right skin color and gender. what else was matty supposed to do? label the piece of garbage as such? cant do that.
She is the "President" so she is just as complicit. I agree that Phil and Matt should have showed up too, but let's not act like she's some low level PR person they sent out.
@@pocketaces6756true. I’d imagine they are extremely slammed at the moment for time and with dealing with the fallout from the teams but ideally this is kinda interview where you’d hopefully have two people execs to at least bounce off of each other or have one person who is super practiced for these questions which Sarah probably wasn’t just cause busy with everything else. Not the worst interview realistically, but definitely didn’t help the online storm currently on going.
Man, she is literally paid A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY to do things like that and you feel sorry for her?
This is insane!!!
No one felt sorry when was Phil doing the same lol.
Stop defending this just because she is a woman. That woman there is the President of Xbox. She is not a HR employee
@@pocketaces6756 She's the president of Xbox, not Microsoft Gaming. It's a big difference. Xbox is a publisher arm of Microsoft Gaming, just like ZeniMax and ABK are.
Matty is finally awakening from the Matrix
How, if he could possibly not see the difference in 30fps vs 60fps?
He’s finally seeing some light
He’s beginning to believe…
Not yet
There is no spoon. But the spoon is good games.
I'm jumping back into a new Starfield playthrough this week with the update. There are so many things I love about it but the core experience just didn't grab me the first time. Going to jump in with a fresh pair of eyes and see how it goes.
The seats at the Ninja Theory office must look like those at a Magic the gatherering conference right about now...
My family and friends are successfully cut off of the Xbox ecosystem. Gamepass subscriptions cancelled and all consoles sold. It’s one thing to complain about a company for its mishandling of beloved franchises and it’s another to keep giving them your money knowing they don’t care about the gamers anymore. No thanks.
At the end of the day they see all the numbers. What may look like a good thing on the outside may not be something that supports itself. I remember when people where criticizing Netflix for canceling shows. Netflix replied that they have never canceled a show that made money.
how are these people still on the job, its insane.
I love seeing your shelf full of original Xbox games makes me smile.
Forget the makeup industry. Gaming is where the real drama is at.
The corporate world is disgusting and corrupt as hell. You can be entertain by their greed and bloodlust in any industry.
