No, why would I help Phil out? He has completely destroyed the brand. The only thing propping up Xbox is the blank cheque he was handed by Microsoft. There is very little incentive to own a Xbox console; especially considering traditional exclusive content can now be found on PC and PlayStation. Thinking about my favourite franchises, all have seen a distinct drop in quality under his tenure. The game pitch | green light process at Xbox for internal studios is atrocious. Instead of Banjo-Kazooie or Conker we get Everwild. Niche games such as Hellblade 2 have been in development for almost 7 years - is the Hellblade franchise really worth tying up a developer for that long? Most of the games that are greenlit such as Halo: Infinite were clearly made by committee - how else could something so bland, so passionless ever see the light of day? Forza Motorsports, in development for 6 years I believe was mediocre at best. Fable has been co-opted and will feature yet another overly masculine, overconfident and insufferable female player character. Thanks but no thanks. I could go on forever. The point is that Xbox doesn't deserve time, money or attention until they earn it. No more good grace or benefit of the doubt. Make them earn our business by producing games that are for the fans, the people that actually play them - not the audience that they pander to, the audience that doesn't actually exist.
