S.T.A.G.E. said:
Sony already had those games planned before their financial issues started. Sony has always been more first party dedicated than Microsoft. Also, yes, I am willing to give Phil Spencer the benefit of the doubt (for now) because of the fact that he had to turn a ship around that was screwed up. Microsoft has never had or been known for great first party so a restructuring process has to take place. Phil has only recently been given access to the checkbook where he can gather studios and make new ips as everyone has asked. If you dont believe me, look it up. |
He's been general manager of Microsoft Studios since 2008, so for 10 years now. He is responsible for the lack of new IPs and first party games. He was obviously involved in the launch of the XOne. He handled lately Tomb Raider, Scalebound, Crackdown, Fable... He canceled the new IP from The Coalition to get a new Gears instead. And now Sea of Thieves and the "games as a service" strategy. I know that some people still believe in him, but that's what it is: faith. It's not related to his achievements at all, but rather to his T shirts and Twitter PR. Until when will this faith hold?
