He's right. He's also a former 343 employee who was laid off. 😢
And it feels like every studio is trying to warn us of this but nothing is being done about it.
I won't keep talking about Xbox until it's all official but I think there's a very important lesson about how you talk to fans.

They got way too friendly and created parasocial relationships - people are taking the rumours so hard as if it's actually a personal betrayal
I honestly think he has a point too, I've often thought this but I think this is partly why Nintendo and Sony doesn't talk to their fans anywhere near as much as Xbox, you don't ever seeing Sony/Nintendo execs interacting this much with fans, some Xbox fans are acting like Phil Spencer personally divorced them, Lmao.
I believe in Phil’s leadership and vision, I’m proud to work at Xbox. Makes it easy to continue to show up everyday 🤍

Anyway Xbox seems on board with this as a team.
