we need a thread about what Gaps MS have needs to filled through funding or Acquisition, because it’s more than JP gap
The genuineness of Phil is always amazing to see in his position. I feel like You don’t see a lot of CEOs talk about how big of a challenge it is to do something like this.

Absolutely, but Phil has specifically mentioned Japan a couple times and unnatural studio hubs.

i think they tried with JP studios but they hit a wall, they are waiting for opportunities just like Zenimax and ACTI.
who knows Platinum games might join if Babylon fall and their other games don’t hit the mark.
Man, between this and the WSJ piece earlier, there’s some good Phil Spencer content dropping today. And the Axios piece yesterday was worthwhile, too. It’s all presumably motivated by the DICE award, but it’s nice to see the man getting some mainstream recognition.

and they also have a lot of family friendly IP now if they can get those teams of CoD
yep i think spyro should be the next one since crash got it already
What’s that spike?
Think I read a Spyro sequel was in dev but canned once they got pulled into the CoD machine
I prefer Crash but they should definitely be utilising all these as much as they can
Spyro, Crash, CTR2, all of it
