Down to earth? the guy is full of s***, he says the right things in interviews but his actions speak differently and no I won't STFU, if you want to be a "fan" of an executive that's your problem not mine.
Where? What's an example of this? Even the people who work for him praise how nice to people he is. Please do find me an example. I'll wait. While you're at it, show me all of the other execs praising the competition when they release something noteworthy. Dude always gives Nintendo and Sony props.
You're right. I'm a fan of the good guys. I've been gaming almost since I can remember, and I've owned a lot of consoles over the years, starting from Atari. Most of the execs from Sega to Nintendo to Sony to Microsoft have been nothing but a bunch of stuffy suits. When someone brings humility to gaming from the top, I do take notice. I do give a sh!t that the direction of gaming is on course, and when someone on top cares about actual games, and not just a product, I have the right to admire that human. When people talk sh!t about good humans the sake of it, I have every right to defend that person.
"One of the things I've always appreciated about Phil is how, even as busy as he is, he still plays a lot of games," Geoff Keighley, the creator of the Game Awards, told me. "I'll always remember talking to him Thanksgiving weekend 2014, right as we were about to launch the Game Awards, and it was clear he had just spent the entire day playing Assassin's Creed. That stuck with me."
I don't like everything he's said, (hell, I don't like everything I've said) but I like a whole bunch of stuff that he's said and done over these several years. I really don't understand how anyone can hate on someone in his position who seems to genuinely care about gaming. I honestly cannot comprehend this level of fanboyism. If he were the same guy he is now, but at Sony, I'd not only still like him, I'd buy more Sony sh!t. I think that's honestly people's only real problem with him, is he works for Microsoft and Xbox.
From last year's E3:
"I wish Sony was here," Spencer said. "E3 is not as good when they're not here," Spencer said about Sony and Activision dropping out of the big annual gaming show
Yeah, what a "used car salesman" personality there.

I don’t think he is a „used car salesman“. Used car salesman actually need to deceiver results, in the form of sales.
He is more like a career politican. He says things his supporters want to hear, while delivered very little result.
They want Xbox and MS to fail in spectacular fashion. They want to hate them, and Phil gets in the way of that in a lot of ways. They want some stiff, easily disliked person in that job so it can validate their dislike of the company.

Yeah. all those new first party studios, backward and forward compatability for games and perihperals, Game Pass, most powerful next gen console - such very little result he brought. It's ok to critique Phil, I have too with regards to Remedy and lack of Jrpgs but please, if you have nothing sensible to say, than some baseless fanboy drivel, why say anything at all?
You're just mad because he's locking up exclusives for Xbox. Nothing more, nothing less.
If Phil is full of s***, what does that make JinCa? Full of corn filled diarrhea?
Stop it, Phil is a one of the good guys in this industry.I don’t think he is a „used car salesman“. Used car salesman actually need to deceiver results, in the form of sales.

I’ve worked with the public for 16 years, and at this point I feel I’m pretty good at reading people in person.
I met Phil at FanFest in 2018 and he stayed the entire time, answering everyone’s questions with patience, and playing every game there. Seemed like a genuine guy.
I’m not saying he’s been perfect, but considering where X was headed to where it is now (and seems to be heading), you have to at least give him respect.
I live in New England and I hate the Patriots, but I still respect the hell out of Belicheck as a coach.

So far....that's gonna change soon though. So get your shots in while you can. You have a one or two year window.
What we have now is a less simplified,slower waste of real estate.
What we have now is a better use of real estate, with more options/features and actual customization. Not to mention, it's really fast for me on the Xbox One X. The original Xbox dashboard is still the best though.
That's more fair, actually. He's very diplomatic as a public figure. I know you're being cheeky, and I know that he's also been saying that the games are coming for too many years now.... However, it's kinda hard to say "little result" when he took over after the dumpster fire that was the Xbox One launch, and changed so much within a single generation. We have BC like it's never been done, a gamer-first company, adaptive controllers, two much better versions of Xbox One, Elite controllers, and the list goes on. He has to be an ambassador as part of his position, but he doesn't have to be the kind that actually does all he can to succeed on making sure that gamers are the ones that feel represented in the industry. I believe that BC was worth all the trouble, and cross‐play has been and will be worth the fight. All of this stuff are the kind of results that I want, as a gamer.I don’t think he is a „used car salesman“. Used car salesman actually need to deceiver results, in the form of sales.

I thought the
emoji is obvious I am joking.I do think gamepass has good potiential ( the potiential will be delivered when the service are filled with highly rated AAA games day one) . When he finally deliver the goods, I will give him the due praise.

I am not going to say he is a 100% straight shooter, but to say he hasn’t done anything is way off the Mark. Shortly after the Xbox One failed launch and Microsoft squandering 1 Billion dollars of game development they were forced to close studios and abandoned projects. Not only that, but the money for making new games pretty much dried up.
So while Spencer has been in charge their studio growth has gone from 5 studios to over 30 within 3 years. He now has a seat at the table and what looks like a blank check to do whatever he wants. Not to mention the CEO of Microsoft now doing interviews saying the Xbox studio growth will continue.
We can bitch that the games haven’t come out yet from these studios, but when they acquired most of them they had either just shipped games, had just started development on new games, or were about to ship multi platform games. Ninja Theory was about to ship Bleeding Edge, Obsidian was about to ship Outerworlds, Inxile was almost a year and a half away from shipping Wasteland 3, Double Fine still hasn’t released Psychonauts 2.
Fable and State of Decay 3 are the only games I can think of that most likely have had longer development time when Microsoft acquired them.
