After Phil's latest shenanigans is it time to stop pretending he's pro consumer?

He just tried to screw gamers over with the biggest scam of a price hike the industry has ever seen and backed down like a coward when everyone called him out for being a greedy piece of trash. It also proves GP isn't as profitable or sustainable as they pretend it is when they needed to double the price of gold to make money.

Will lemmings continue to pretend that he's their friend now?

You people really need to stop obsessing over this man.

Perhaps it is time to treat corporate personalities like Phil like how we treat politicians and so-called "experts."

How many times a day do you have a wank while fantasising over Phil? I'm gonna say at least five.

What a clown.

He is just like CDPR. Pretends to be "for the people", but will backstab your ass as soon as an opportunity pops up.

I heard that someone tried to get this through without Phil’s consent but when he found out what was going on he put a quick stop to it. Hard to say what happened to that guy but if you never hear from him again well let’s just say it wouldn’t surprise me. Just Good Guy Phil doing more good guy stuff. 👍

None of these companies are pro consumer

MS really dropped the ball on that one. They reversed within 24 hours. That's pretty bad lol.

Yeah dude. Lets just not obsess over the fact that Xbox live nearly literally doubled in price over night by 60 dollars in one day. It's all good when drinking juice under the hood. Right everything was just gonna be hunky doory.

Do these people actually believe what they type? Yes things were reversed but this was friggin horrid if it actually went down. Jesus man. It's not like my Netflix going up 2 dollars this is 60 in one day do some math dude.

Just some months ago, they tried to sell you Halo Infinite, and what was shown is what they considered as a finished product. Now they decided to charge double for xbl. MS is trying real hard to ripoff their fans.

Reversing a stupid decision is bad?

Your obsession doesn't excuse how bad MS' initial decision to double the price was. Seek help.

And lems defended Halo Infinite saying it "looked good" to them before it was delayed. These clowns should be thanking us for getting that shovelware delayed and saving them from paying an extra $60 a year.

@lebanese_boy: Phil being stupid enough to approve it in the first place was bad. Not exactly the best person to be running a branch of a company.

@lebanese_boy: What's bad is them even thinking of increasing the price by 100%. Like who does that?

We don't know who approved it but yes it was stupid. Obviously even MS agreed since they reversed that decision. Again stop with your unhealthy obsession on Spencer.

Yes that was bad, now it's ancient history. Good for Xbox users.

Yep, Halo: Infinite looked good to me and now it’s going to look even better. Winner, winner! Chicken dinner for me! 😎

Good for now. Wonder how long it will last until some new bs pops up.

@hardwenzen: hopefully no more bs but it's the vg industry we're talking about so...

People were saying its stil a good value on here before they reversed it. The back peddling and the ball sucklin is so ridiculous it’s embarassing.

Infinite looked like a game from ten plus years ago. They delayed it by a year, but made a massive mistake of leaving it with the most incompetent dev in the gaming industry, 343i. The game was made with the xbone in mind. What kind of improvements can be done in a year, especially when 343i is in charge? The game will look 🤣 for Q4 2021 standards. If Horizon comes out around the same time, i can already see dozens of threads comparing its visuals, and Horizon is an open world game 🤣🤣🤣Its gonna be real something, lems better prepair for the annihilation.

Yep. That Xbox stan MrBojangles was shilling hard for the price hike and then lems like Pedro and Archangel were defending it with him.

@NathanDrakeSwag:

One thing for sure. As soon as MS has actual games (and this may take an additional 2 years), they will be sold for $70 as well.

@Archangel3371: Why would I be upset that your most anticipated game looks like a Minecraft mod?

It's going to look even worse than it already does on that 1080p TV of yours 😂

@hardwenzen: Hopefully not, we are all the more losers when these price hikes happen. Only takes a couple of major industry players to get it going and it becomes a standard.

Consumers aren’t even pro consumer. It’s time for that phrase to die

Phil Spencer is the most popular Sony exec...oh wait 🤣🤣🤣

Pedro and arch, kiss that MS booty

Can we stop pretending those that made the biggest fit about the price hike weren't Sony fanboys?

Thanks for proving that you dummies actually wanted to pay $120 a year for gold. You didn't think that one through too well there, Einstein.

They cry about everything on and about the Xbox. The Xbox is the most talked about system and the ones that makes it the most talked about are Sony fannies. It doesn't matter if the thread is about Nintendo, PC or PS, they must talk about Xbox and Phil because they have a boner for the man. 😂🤣

@NathanDrakeSwag: You know what this thread proves?

It proves you have nothing to play on the PS5, and instead of venting your frustration at Sony, you choose to take shots at Xbox, its so easy to see through you cows.

Not sony who decided to charge 100% more for xbl and flip flop because of massive backlash

@hardwenzen: Take my comment to drakey and apply it to you too 🤣🤣🤣

Nah.. when Sony makes a bad decision they stick with it

$70 Games

"We believe in generations"

😁

Keep ignoring that ripoff attempt. MS promises to love you more if you do.

It's easy to take shots at a company who constantly trips over their own feet. If xtots like you called them out for their anti consumer practices as much as we do then maybe you would have some games to look forward to this year. Instead you'll get low budget jank on GP while Phil and his cronies go back to the drawing board to conjure up their next strategy to milk more money out of stans like you.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Talks about milking money and yet is a cow 🤣🤣🤣

But thanks for proving that you're angry at Sony for not releasing any games, that's why you're taking your frustration out on MS.

Go blow in your controller to make Astrobot blow on some flowers in game 🤣🤣🤣

You know it’s pretty bad when a company reverse it’s decision to make more money.

LOL

Listen to this muppet. Go play Forza buddy, it’s all you know - and you’ve admitted as such LOL

Lol indeed. I think Archangel is just a kid after reading that quote. Sounds like one of those "my dad works at Microsoft" things. Just embarrassing how these lemmings talk.

I'm not obsessed I just call out garbage like everyone else. If something horrible gets announced I don't sit on my ass and take it.

This is the internet this is what its for venting about trash decisions. Seriously were not obsessed its just calling out garbage you should try it sometime. It's literally not even been 1 full day and your saying were still obsessed it literally just happened and is fresh in our minds if in a few weeks were still talking about it sure but not after just 1 day when the news was still on front pages.

That was user mrbojangles25 he was saying its a still good value at 120 a year to play xbox games online

Oh dear. Some clowns are just too easy. 😅
