XboxEra Community Hangout |OT10| Insert Catchy Quip Here

I am really loving the change in community here. Not letting the influncers and insiders opinions make a negative bubble.

This is great positive engagement

Kudos to everyone here

I don’t watch TV so I can’t say there, I’m also completely done with Twitter and haven’t been back except for accidentally clicking one of the tweets posted here. But I did get a lot of Minecraft Legends ads on YouTube even though I wasn’t doing anything related to it.

What’s crazy is this Jeff rumor got people now coming out of the woodworks saying Hi-Fi Rush wasnt that good of a game .

Which is odd because the co-host adored that game a lot, so it’s not like they’re saying the game is bad. So by that logic, I should be disliking any game that didn’t hit line of satisfaction.

Yeah, its weird because narrative about the game is suddenly changing . Jeff better backup this claim because I feel saying stuff like this with no source is damaging

Wtf? But the game was praised highly by the media and I remember how much the well known Twitter folk loved it too.

Who’s now saying it wasn’t that good?

People on Reddit, Twitter , and other forums. It does feel like when negative news happen with Xbox people get ready with takes. You look at threads on Reddit, Twitter , other forums , and you’ll see there’s ton of engagement with negative Xbox news

It’s a shame, and hard to take seriously too. Folks loved the game, that doesn’t change now. I don’t get how some people work, lmao.

Starfield comes out, people love it to bits. Later some negative news comes out and people start to go…meh,it wasn’t that amazing? The logic goes beyond me.

Not only the narrative about the game changed. Everybody wanted every game to shadow drop after Hifi Rush and now this is of course the most obvious bad marketing move you could make.

Welcome to internet. Trust me, it’s like this with many others. I have gone through different wars and somehow come back to another one. I tested my patience and admittedly lost at times, but I am adapting, so more and more is dust on my shoulder.

I’m going with the opinion Jeff dropped that opinion for clout and clicks because negative news sells.

Still though Xbox needs better marketing, they have to be far more aggressive after abk.

I presumed it meant the Microsoft leaders are unhappy at the performance of the xbox but I may be wrong.

We can say this but what do you market? In my country 90% of playstation’s impressive marketing(billboards/ads/youtube videos) is their games. What would xbox market other then gamepass as the games have yet to drop

If Microsoft is in the gamepass business then they need to market the service. They’ve marketed third party games in the past like what they did with Persona 5R last year was great and they need to do more stuff like that for their games on the service

That’s also my point in a drought of AAA games Xbox should money hat. Like they did in the 360 days.

I agree there could be more of a push on selling gamepass but what system sellers have been on gamepass? The games they’ve added to the service have had a cumulative effect of a service that has a lot of good games to play but they’re lacking games that make you want to sign up just for that game. It’s the same wall Netflix ran into early, lots to see but they struggled with the this is great, must sign up to the service because of these titles.

Someone at Microsoft should clear up the Jeff grubb rumour.

Oh snap, are we back to the doom and gloom with Xbox again? never a dull day it seem.

You don’t spend 8 Billion and then another 70 billion on gaming , just to worry about a niche game sales.

They shadow drop it, there is no marketing and with gamepass, of course it gone to have a impact on sales.

It does not take a genius to put two and two together.

Maybe Plague tale and Wo Long day one could’ve got a push. I just think they need to market the service because I don’t think they’ve reached enough people to know what the service is and why they should sub to it.

Anyways, hopefully Starfield starts the push of heavily marketing their games and services. Also, find it odd not much marketing for Redfall that is out in 2 weeks

All it would take is one employee to say it isn’t true about Jeff Grubbs video to dispel the nonsense.
