Not sure why companies try to push mobile games like that so fucking hard. Just because everyone has a phone doesn’t mean everyone wants to play games on them.
Also doesn’t help that practically all mobile games like that are created with the intention to focus on microtransactions and grindy paywalled and timegated content.

Phil Spencer underperformed for 10+ years and yet he’s still there.
Must be nice having the peace of mind that no matter how you fuck up, other people will pay in your stead.

I recently randomly came across a youtube channel of someone criticizing Phil Spencer…
…who in that very video, described herself as an Ex-MSFT executive producer for multiple failed or non successful games in the early 00’s, but blamed the failures on everyone else around her.
These people have literally zero self awareness.
They have absurdly massive egos and senses of entitlement, they all do exactly what they criticize other people for.

When your predecessor was Don Mattrick, it’s not like you have to perform that great to be better.
They need Peter Moore back, he’s the only leader of Xbox/Microsoft Games that’s ever been any good - he took Xbox from zero to its peak golden age, then he left and we got the dark age of Kinect.
