When Phil Spencer walked on stage today at the Windows 10 keynote, he had the face of a bomber pilot ready to drop some big ones, and there’s no denying it: he did.
Now the ball is on Sony's field.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
Fallout 76 players have dropped the big one on Phil Spencer in response to Xbox's closures of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks this week.
He said he treated the Xbox executive like the RPG's final boss
Somewhat fitting, Considering buying Bethesda was a complete selfish purchasing decision by himself just because he is a big Fallout fan he wanted to own the toy. Well quite frankly Microsoft should look at that and say you put your personal tastes in front of the business and it has backfired.
Todd Howard out hustled Phil. Howard is definitely in the top 3 all time hustlers in video game history.
Phil's game character properly looks like a villain too.

MS are using remote play on their devices or PC that run on windows and MS Tablets only.
Sony is using it on Z3 and PSTV , their devices. They are trying to attract customer to their devices so for Sony to put shareplay on an MS device or Windows, it wont happen just like MS is not putting it on anything but theirs. If they have put shareplay on Android, apple, Mac etc then yes, i would have said Sony should do something similar but they are not.
Interesting article as always Abriael.
Samsung and iphones dominate the smartphone market almost everywhere, as does the iPad. Sony would indeed be smart to go after that market.
If Xbox One's remote play works with any device that's running Win10 that will definitely be a game changer for Microsoft and the Xbox One. Sony already has the tech to stream gameplay to any device connected to the web, perhaps this will give them some incentive to take it up a notch and actually get it up and running on non-Sony devices.
Sony: PS4 remote play confirmed for iOS and Steam.
