Maybe the backlash is having an effect and they are starting to reconsider it and having more internal meetings. Supposedly that is why an Xbox employee leaked this, they wanted the fans to be aware of what the Microsoft execs were planning, in the hopes that the fan backlash would cause them to reverse course, much like when they tried to double the XBL Gold price back in January 2021, and then reversed course after the intense fan backlash. |
It won’t matter because the heads and faces of Xbox are not in charge, Phil/Matt can say whatever they want but at the end of the day Amy and Tim can just say nope we are pivoting this way now and there will be no way to change that.
They don’t care about optics or brand damage because they are just suits there to squeeze out as much money as they can and care less about the community.
