I never really understood the hate against Jim Ryan. Then again he wasn't in charge very long. On the other hand it was always weird to me how much praise Phil Spencer got when IMO he has failed to deliver for a very long time. Phil's had almost 10 years and I just haven't seen anything from Xbox.

When Phil did that interview with Destin basically blaming Larian for BG3 not working on Series S it was pretty disgusting. He knows he's had multiple devs complaining about that machine and he still is willing to throw devs under the bus like that. Devs that worked so hard on their game and to just trash them so casually like that I couldn't believe it.

I'm not saying your lying or changing facts here. But could you give me the actual quote where he done this and also a link to the Interview/Article.

And anyone who thinks Phil has not been working to turn the xbox brand around imo is being delusional. Sure he hasn't done the best but with what he had to work with compared to what Jim had to work with is a night and day difference..

Now it's very subtle but he says it two different times and in two different ways but he basically says this wasn't an issue with the Series S and it was where Larian was choosing to prioritize their time. That's a flat out lie. This has nothing to do with Larian and their time. Yet he choose to include them in the blame on this. It was 100% because the Series S can't handle it. He knows that, Larian know that, and plenty of devs have complained to him about it. He also goes on to try and act like the talk about the Series S isn't from devs and he knows that's BS. One of the top stories out of the last gamescom was all the devs trashing the Series S.

I'm sure he's trying to turn things around but he hasn't done it. I loved my 360 and it got me back into gaming but ever since then MS hasn't done anything to warrant me investing in their eco system again.
