Also, saying what the division did when he wasn't the boss compared to what he does as the boss is 2 very different things. Phil is talking about from his perspective and his ability to make decisions, not what other bosses did during their term.

Except he indeed did a lot of the things he say he condem.

Honestly, I like seeing Phil be a little competitive. He's more than "nice" enough as far as I'm concerned, and it's cool to see him getting a little more aggressive.

It's the game they're all playing, after all.

Can you provide an example of those things since he took over 3 years ago.  Please do not use timed exclusive since its not the same thing as content.

He didn't make the tales and tomb raider deals. Titanfall and SO are exclusives not multiplats.

But.... Holding back an entire game from another platform is still a lot worse than holding back some skins and missions...

MS partially funded Titanfall. SO was all on Insomniac. They chose MS over Sony because of IP rights. In any case, both of those deals were done before Phil took over.

I was more thinking about stuff like Tomb Raider.

"I’m not a fan of doing deals that hold back specific pieces of content from other platforms."

What a load of shit. MS just isn't funding xbox anymore so xbox can't support it's own studios or buy any exclusive content from 3rd party devs. Is Phil a distant cousin of Don?

Clearly, Microsoft consists of a dishonest bunch of people. But at the same time you shouldn't throw stones as a PS fan, because your favorite company is full of sly pigs as well.

I don't know about any PR rep from Sony nor Ninty which goes out in the public and throws shade like this though
