Phil Spencer suggests 1 vs. 100 isn't the last we'll see of game shows on Xbox Live.
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.

I thought 1 vs. 100 was great fun and great for the community, I was sad to see Microsoft take it away.
MS man entertainment for the day!
I will be skeptical with how 1 vs 100 went. It's not something I trust MS enough to invest large amounts of time in because they tend to just drop it.
I hope we get to use more realistic avatars this time around like the ones in the new kinect sports rivals.

My thoughts exactly. Phil spencer is doing a very good job so far. Its like Dons depature was a load off his back. The team seems to be doing really good now and Phil has been making really good deceisions since he left.
It's now very apparent that Mattrick leaving MS was the best thing to ever happen for Xbox.
I knew many people that regularly played 1 vs. 100 on 360. I hope something similar comes back to X1 and 360.
Edit:
hey while they're taking off beat requests how about a return to Lips?!
