Grape is always a gamble flavour because sometimes it’s the good weird chemical grape flavouring flavour and other times it’s the gross actual fruit flavour

Taking a week to address the rumors was probably a mistake. So many people took the rumors to heart and let it sink in and now have some mental inertia about accepting the truth now that it’s out. Most of the replies I’m seeing are Phil is lying, the floodgates are opening, Xbox is done as a platform, etc

Counterpoint: all these people are dumb as gently caress, demonstrating this to the world in public is a situation entirely of their own creation, and they deserve to be laughed at relentlessly.

That's not on Phil (although lol, lmao if he held this back a week for exactly this reason)

Who's saying that Phil is lying? I think he's telling the truth when he says that Starfield will not be among the first four Xbox games to come to PS5.

Okay watching the Xbox thing now and Phil talks about the non-GaaS games (so Hi-Fi Rush & Pentiment) being brought to other platforms possibly funding sequels which is rad and I hope we get a Hi-Fi Rush 2. I haven't played Pentiment but apparently it owns so I hope they get lots of money to roll around in and make more cool games too

Yep. Huge win for Xbox today, as predicted.

Yeah, this announcement literally could have been a Tweet put out two weeks ago, and would have headed off a ton of drama that probably hurt Xbox significantly. Was it stupid? Yes, but it probably still hurt the Xbox brand more than it should have.

Okay I finished it and that whole thing was basically Phil, Sarah & Matt sat there saying how much Xbox owns lol like it's funny but also weird like "Hey we need to provide everyone with a business update" "Okay uh what do we say" "Business is fuckin' great!!"

They're just sat there bragging like c'mon we could have had a 5 second loop of Phil doing cock windmills instead

Yeah if this is brand damaging I sure hope no one is not releasing any first party games until mid 2025. That would be an epic brand fail

They aren't releasing any new entries in major existing franchises in 2024, which basically means no new Spider-Man game, no new God of War game, and no new Last of Us game.

He bought a PS5 which fell on him and crushed his legs, trapping him. No one heard his feeble screams and he died shortly after. The neighbours called the fire department because of the smell but it turned out that’s just how his place normally smells and he hadn’t started decomposing yet. He was 35.
