Can someone tell Phil Spencer we still want our 7 studios 
Activision & Blizzard titles alone would boost Xbox sales a lot and there will be Bethesda + Xbox titles too. These means most of the devs can’t ignore Xbox platform.
Blizzard with creative freedom can become the best studio in the world. The studio that made Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Overwatch.

Everything I’ve read about Bobby Koticks behavior just seems really off.
Does he have some sort of inability to understand emotions? He just seems really careless about how he treats people and he seems very greedy, like he’s the king in some fantasy novel.
To be fair, he was a king in his own world. Rich and powerful people (especially when it came from their own efforts) tend to be a bit detached from reality, even more so when they’re faced with the prospect of losing their power.

You will find that quite a lot of people in high positions in business have sociopathic traits.

Once these people retire do they typically snap back to reality and think back to how awful they’ve treated people?
He acts so alien, one interview I watched made him seem a bit more human was when he talked about stress eating just being part of the sort of lifestyle he lives. But that’s all I can tell about him being humane.
Does Satya Nadella also have psychopathic traits? I read his book and he seemed pretty smart but I didn’t get that feeling of him being a selfish person at all
Welp this changes things.
so they won’t buy another big publishers until june 2023 and later because of anti trust stuff, what about Independent studios though ?
i feel because of Zynga and Activation, Acquisitions over the industry would be accelerated this year.
some companies would try to get IOI for example
Yup and I think it’s matter of time that it will happen.

They usually don’t retire. Everyone is different obviously, but it’s hard not to be cynical when listening to and viewing the actions of wealthy and powerful people. 
I always wondered will it be streamed or native? I wouldn’t want it to be native because thats resources xbox could spend developing xbox games.
Feel like giving Sony GP is giving them a lifeline they dont deserve but thats just me.

So I take it after the talk of the 2017 small E3 booths and lack of investment Microsoft is not pulling out of the gaming market and selling the Xbox division?

It’s such strange behavior and it honestly turns me off from wanting to support his games.
I’m starting a psychology class today with my class, maybe I should email my professor some of these questions.
You definitely should. Psychology is incredibly fascinating and I wish I would have taken more classes of it in college.
It will never happen. Sony will end up being a niche system with premium first party titles.
They will become the HBO of gaming while Xbox is Warner Bros.
It’s going yo be impossible not to interact with Xbox if you game now.
I think it is safe to say that 
. The Microsoft bear is finally awake.

You can’t even blame Microsoft for being the guy who broke down their doors and forced them to submit. This is basically consent.
It’s a scam how they still sell the old games for near full price, I can’t wait for the acquisition to close just for the games to start hitting Game Pass
