Xbox guys parroted Phil Spencer and paid influencers “Exclusive’s are bad” narrative for years. Now that Ai Asha is in place, they are begging her for their “Exclusives” back. That’s very telling. Watching them beg for Gears E-Day to Exclusive, means Phil lead their wants/habits

IGN podcast crew was asked if they would either recommend Xbox Series or PS5. “Obviously Xbox. Because of Game Pass... and Phil Spencer is more transparent.” 💀

It is diabolical! I called it last year. It was Phil Spencer's idea for the Game Pass pivot. He was the one who decided to bring Forza, Gears of War, and Halo over to PlayStation 5. He was the one who said there was no way to compete with PlayStation, and now the number of exclusives will get people to not buy a PS5 and suddenly buy an Xbox. Sarah Bond didn't have the position long, and all of a sudden, she is to blame for the Culture Change for XBOX? I saw it coming the moment she was selected as the new President of XBOX. They were going to throw the sista under the bus. Now Phil Spencer can retire unscathed by this backlash, while every article points the finger at Sarah Bond for the company's failure. XBOX has been failing since the XBOX 1. They need to take that bullshit somewhere else, because they aren't fooling me.

Xboxers! Don't fret because Halo Remake is going everywhere. Xbox is becoming a PC storefront and their real competition is Steam. Every other company is gonna become customers of Xbox. Sarah Bond even said that she wants Windows to be the number one platform for gaming💚🎮😏👌🏾

It feels like history is repeating. Whenever Xbox gains ground by focusing on core gamers and finally stands close to PlayStation, Microsoft’s top executives step in. They try to push Xbox ‘Beyond,’ but end up going too far and undoing the progress. Now Asha has become Xbox’s CEO in a very tough time—just like Phil Spencer did 12 years ago. Whether she can bring Xbox back, as Phil once did, is still uncertain. This time, the challenge looks even harder.

TieGuyTravis on the Bitcast podcast, talks about Asha Sharma (new Xbox CEO) is good at “She's somebody that's like known in San Francisco [...] And the thing that she's known for being good at, is user acquisition, like getting people to use a product.” If there's one thing we all know, it's that Xbox needs more users.

If it wasn’t for Phil Spencer Xbox really wouldn’t be what it is today. Growing first party studios to the point they have great annual roadmaps. Consist with game releases Game Pass Backwards Compatibility program was massive for Xbox & still is. More Japanese Support

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirms Gears of War E-Day will be an Xbox console exclusive! I'm so for it! 🔥 Bring back the spirit of competition and more specific platform curated experiences. That said, there's still #PS5 logos everwhere on other games lol... #GearsOfWarEDay #Xbox

First it’s suggested that Sarah Bond slept her wary to her position at Xbox then it became a therapy session from grown ass men in their 30’s/late 40’s that Phil Spencer should be fired & this was on Thursday before the halo news I can only how unhinged they’ll be next week
