As always, there’s an XKCD for this.

What an incredibly “rich dude” thing to say.

He’s an even bigger fan of layoff culture.

Ah yes, quality content like Hogwart’s Legacy, a property made by a bigot who is really cozy with fascists, by a lead dev who is an avowed fascist, and has a storyline that’s basically “let’s hunt the Jewish people but as an analogue”. Hey, you can even play as a “dark wizard” (y’know, the Nazi analogues in the source…

Xbox cleverly positioning itself as the official brand of mediocre white douchebags. Good look!

How I initially read it was cancellation as in *games* getting cancelled, not “cancel culture” in general. No matter what type of cancellation he’s talking about, he’s still being an asshole though. Nobody cancels a game lightly.

You know, for a guy that has shown himself to pretty madia savvy and skilled as presenting himself with a ‘good guy’ image, this seems like a pretty easy land mine to avoid. I mean, even if that’s how you feel, why even say it and ruin your image? This doesn’t help you, it’s not gonna help the Activision thing, it’s…

Wondering this as well. You’d think Layoff Culture would be a good buzzword to go around the news considering all the tech layoffs, but for corporations its just normal I guess

He’s right that I want to play games that inspire and invite joy... which is why I mostly just play Nintendo games nowadays. Everything else is too depressing.

Speaking of ‘Cancel Culture,’ I wonder how many games have just been canceled by Microsoft’s layoff culture >_>

Somebody get Phil off Twitter. He’s fallen into the imaginary grievance hole again.

He’s just a bigger fan of indefinite delay culture.

“i am a rich white man who has never had to suffer real consequences for anything”

The irony of an Xbox exec bragging about releasing games.

Whining about cancel culture?  How inspiring and joyful!

A statement like that makes me think he’s got a Elon blowup doll somewhere with fuckholes in them. 

It turns out that making games for fun above all else seems to make people like it.

Who knew?

“soon learns he’s a prince who’s able to travel between the dimensions contained within the realm of Amber.”
Umm, actually aren’t all the dimensions secondary “shadows” of the one true world of Amber, but not contained within?

Whatever - I’ve been waiting for this for years - even had hope when Kirkman and GRRM put…

You know when they first announced Scarlet/Violet’s release date I wondered if coming out so soon after Arceus was going to cause Pokemon burnout and hold down either game’s sales, but I guess you shouldn’t underestimate how much people love catching silly little guys.
