On one hand you have the ''tHeY gOnE wOkE'' crowd. On the other hand you have the ''corporate slaves'' crowd.
To me this is a weird post. MS' best period was the 360. It's still infinitely better than today. Halo, Gears are incredibly mediocre today and a far cry from the glory days. Phil Spencer hasn't created 1 single great new 1st party game in 10 years. Even at the tail end of the 360 period when he became head of 1st party the downfall began.
If we're talking about diversity in the people they hire. Well that shouldn't be praised. EVER. It should be EXPECTED. It should be DEMANDED. So Phil reacting to that tweet seems like a circle jerk to me, kinda like when someone does charity then jumps on praise to congratulate themselves...kinda. Sadly many corporations DON'T but it's nice that MS is actually trying.
Having said that. None of this matters if Phil Spencer can't deliver the greatness of games that was the 360 era. Peter Moore was working with a limited budget and did so much. Phil Spencer has an infinite amount of money and he should be able to deliver a lot more. More than any other video game company.
Xbox/MS is a company. That I like the most out of all others. But you should never behave like a corporate slave. Xbox is part of a corporation and corporations ARE NOT your friends. Always demand better as a consumer. They have gobbled up almost 100 billion of this industry, they should be held to higher standards. Sony is not their competition. They said it themselves. Time to show that cause I still don't see what makes Xbox games a lot better than the opponent you don't see as competition.
Isn't it weird that they've showed maybe a few seconds of gameplay? A lot of the showcase for FM was from different angles so it's not gameplay to me. That was so weird to me. I wish they showed more gameplay like how the actual gamer will play it like instead of what they showed with different angles etc.
Don't care about the weeb stuff so Persona did nothing for me. Redfall looked generic, Starfield looks rough but very ambitious, Pentiment was disappointing (was hoping a better art style) and the middle part of the showcase was dreadful.
Having said that. I'm interested in Starfield, Hollow Knight Silk Song. Those 2 have GOTY potential.

@BartoxTharglod Well yeah it's an Xbox studios game. Does Sony own Square?

Kojima announcement was cool too.
