Everyone deserves to get client 16 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:55,520 bro. I say this where things have not 17 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,920 really manifested itself physically, but what an 18 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,600 interesting turn of events. What an interesting turn of 19 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,080 events it seems. It seems there is hope and 20 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:18,240 that's the word hope in competition in Xbox finally 21 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,160 getting their shit together. Man, we needed this. 22 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,880 The moment it got announced with Xbox's Xbox Y article came 23 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:32,480 through boom the energy shifted entire the entire gaming 24 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,560 industry. Everyone discourse, even 25 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,200 PlayStation guys say you know what fucking we need this. 26 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,200 We need this to happen because the in the space was dead. 27 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,680 The space was so dry. Xbox finally realised the shit 28 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720 that I've been saying for ages. And if you've been a member of 29 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840 this fucking shadow, you know since what, November, December, 30 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,360 I've been telling you that the the whole fucking shift has been 31 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,640 felt with an Xbox so much that they're on a mad scramble what 32 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,240 they're going to show Xbox Showcase and developer Direct, 33 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,800 the loss of hits with gay pass subscribers, all sorts of shit. 34 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720 And now what? What's happening, bro? 35 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,120 The leadership, the AI lady, fucking dude doing what fills 36 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,720 Dominus Maximus Aurelius expired. 37 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,680 Spencer couldn't do bro. She is standing in the face of 38 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,320 the execs that put her in this place. 39 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,920 Maybe they realise oh shit the AI game wasn't enough. 40 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560 And I know you were thinking guys you're such a bot, look at 41 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,320 you celebrating all of this. But I am one of the few people 42 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,200 in this in space that just wants competition. 43 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,080 It is better for everybody. Guys on a Thursday, Aeronation, 44 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960 we have to go live because fucking it's crazy. 45 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:58,160 It's crazy man. We have seen since Xbox's whole 46 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,320 strategy shift announcement of its third party thing sucked the 47 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,720 life out of the industry. Nah be Xbox is dead hang it up. 48 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,200 Thank you bash bro. We have seen the life sucked out 49 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,959 to the entire industry, but especially Xbox community and 50 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,280 and so many, so many just played the the corporal game. 51 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,000 So many bucks the trend for the sake of their channel, for the 52 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,160 sake of viewership, for the sake of the hardcore Xbox fanboys who 53 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,200 just you would would just basically parrot whatever the 54 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,400 Xbox would say they fucking did. Even if at the very cost of the 55 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,840 soul of the brand. They just prove themselves that 56 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,360 they care about their own channel or they care about the 57 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,440 narrative of the Xbox brand, even if it cost them everything. 58 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:58,440 And you know, I've been one of the few people, the ex exports 59 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,400 people who said fuck that, no way, no way. 60 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,680 This is not good enough. I came to PC, built a beast PC, 61 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,600 and I still vociferously defended the exclusives. 62 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,600 So much so that the moment PlayStation announced that they 63 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,800 were going back to exclusive, see, I said well done. 64 00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:20,600 Even at the cost of my fucking elite enjoyment, at least it's 65 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,400 better for the industry. I support it. 66 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,800 Boom. What did I do? 67 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Bought the Pro. Why? 68 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,880 Because some of us, some of us don't fucking rely on money from 69 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,600 YouTube channel to do this shit. Some of us are in this space 70 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,280 because we're in it for the source we're in it for that 71 00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,440 means we're in it for the truth. We actually believe what we say 72 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,200 and it's it's a rare commodity. You need to recognise that shit. 73 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520 How many times did I get it? Fuck, I know it's Alex of the PC 74 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,480 bot community on it's Alex. We are. 75 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,560 He's that guy. But we have polar opposites of 76 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,960 this entire debate. And he's completely wrong. 77 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,720 It's completely wrong. Completely wrong about the whole 78 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640 thing about the role of exclusivity in this space, about 79 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,920 what it's done to gaming to take us to where we are now, about 80 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,080 what platform level exclusivity has done to rise the tide in 81 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,280 this space. And now what trillion dollar 82 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:11,040 Microsoft fucking has to go back to the drawing board. 83 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Why renounce that? They just went down and reduced 84 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,520 the Game Pass thing, which we'll talk about maybe on Saturday 85 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,760 because it's a different topic, but this today we have to talk 86 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,920 about this woman. Asha Sharma is a fucking beast 87 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,440 already. What is going on? 88 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,920 Don't count the the chickens or whatever till they're hatched or 89 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,360 whatever they say until all this manifests itself. 90 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,800 How does it work? I have, I have a keen idea of 91 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,440 how this will manifest. The wording was very clear from 92 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,480 Asha Sharma, in my opinion, about where they're going. 93 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,760 But it was this manifesto. This manifesto sounded so much 94 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,520 better than the kind of corporal Babble that we get from her 95 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,440 predecessors. It actually sounded convincing 96 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,920 and she's built up goodwill because of successive changes. 97 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Immediately off the bat, the things that people used to come 98 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,120 at me for, it's like Ashley Sharma. 99 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,880 How can I hate Ashley Sharma when Ashley Sharma is doing the 100 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,800 very things I have said that she needs to do? 101 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,920 Starting with this is an Xbox killed it. 102 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,200 First thing she did was kill that stupid ad that everyone 103 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,680 came at me faller because they're spending what, 24 hours 104 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,320 gunning that ad, putting pictures of this is an Xbox, 105 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160 getting a colonoscopy and all that shit. 106 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,000 How many people came at me? Oh no, Alex came at me. 107 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,560 He's crashing bro. They're like shit. 108 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,320 The fuck? Listen man, listen, do you guys 109 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,560 deserve an Xbox or X Xbox guy who tells you the fucking truth? 110 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,920 No chance. No chance because the fucking 111 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,680 corporate cock channels are still going strong. 112 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,360 They'll just fucking feed into your confirmation bias all the 113 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,240 time. All the fucking time. 114 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,040 But the truth with stands head and shoulders above it wasn't 115 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,200 just fanboys, it was real understanding of what the 116 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,720 business needs to do. This trillion dollar company 117 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,480 doesn't even UN fucking understand. 118 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,240 But this woman, Ashish Sharma, this lady has surprised me. 119 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,560 I will say so far, and I still say it's early recency bias or 120 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240 galore. There's a lot of statements. 121 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240 I'm sure there's going to be some anger in the face moments, 122 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:27,960 but it's changing. We are seeing finally, finally 123 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,280 changes, real changes since 2022. 124 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,960 I was watching this Phil Spencer's meandering commitment 125 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,840 to gaming. It was weird there went and 126 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,360 chewed on this ABK deal. You know what the 2022 that was 127 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,159 dog shit that had the the Xbox committee on my throat. 128 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,680 I had death threats. Had to make a fucking rap tune 129 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,840 to diss track on these Xbox hardcore because that's what 130 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,280 they want. They want to be told what what 131 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,960 they want to hear. Oh, Xbox is safe. 132 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,560 Oh, this is an Xbox is good. Yeah, gaming everywhere is good. 133 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,640 Are we going to get your money off, man? 134 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,400 That shit and that trillion dollar. 135 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,040 Microsoft understands that in order to withstand an 136 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,840 appreciable brand and not no longer distracted by AI, the 137 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,840 little shits that they need to actually do something. 138 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,160 Asha Sharma came out from the outside in looking in and she 139 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,560 realised, hold on a minute, we need to fuck it. 140 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,280 And This is why it's actually fucking amazing how this has 141 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,400 panned out. How has someone from the outside 142 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240 AI bod come in, had a look at the business in the space of a 143 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,080 few weeks and realised, oh right, we know what she said, 144 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,440 hear you. We all laughed at that, like OK, 145 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,600 hear you. Just what? 146 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920 We're in response to exclusives and we still don't know how it 147 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,600 will pan out. But all I'm saying is for the 148 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920 first time in a very long time, the Xbox executive that's come 149 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,800 in seems to have a finger on the pulse and is flying in the face 150 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,240 of the mandate that the corporate bods gave at the top 151 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Game Pass Too expensive, took it, said we're taking Coda out. 152 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,560 No more bullshit. We're going to make it cheaper. 153 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,800 Great move, but also at the cost of Call of Duty, which might 154 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,200 also be a double edged sword because it opens the flood games 155 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,200 for other first party games coming out. 156 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,120 But like I've said on this channel, I don't do it or 157 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,560 wherever I want Game Pass if it means bringing back exclusives 158 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,400 and bringing back competition. I don't give a shit about value 159 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,000 and gaming. I care about competition more 160 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,760 than anything because this is an art form. 161 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040 This is a space where art thrives. 162 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,200 And so if you're looking for value or look at value gaming, 163 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,600 and I'm not saying I'm not trying to bemoan more access to 164 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,120 gamers, but what I'm saying is you need to fundamentally value 165 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,440 quality first. If it's an art form, then value 166 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,000 the art. No Lies 78 Inc with the $10. 167 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Good. Thank you, man. 168 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,360 Because she surprised me. Yeah, she surprised me. 169 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,640 She came in, cleaned the house and made me and my changes and 170 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,240 made changes immediately. Makes you really think, what the 171 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,800 heck was Phil's and Sarah doing now? 172 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,120 I don't know what's going on. Like we can say, oh, a lot of 173 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,720 people are saying that they they, you know, Xbox execs, 174 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720 Satya had their set them up to fail to replace them with Asha 175 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,360 Sharman. But the close proximity of her 176 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,160 appointment and her just instantly gutting things is 177 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,720 remarkable. This is an Xbox dead great. 178 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,200 And I thought, OK, that's a good move. 179 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,600 She actually has some some awareness of good fucking common 180 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,320 sense that you don't absolutely scupper your own brand by 181 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,040 telling everyone don't need to buy this, the toilet's an Xbox. 182 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,080 My face is an Xbox, my ass cheeks are an Xbox. 183 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960 This is an Xbox. Nah, she killed it. 184 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,760 She killed it. Then she made a statement and it 185 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,880 was saying all the right things on paper, but I was like, what 186 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,120 the fuck does that actually mean? 187 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,480 Bring the renegade spirit of Xbox back, Focus on console 1st. 188 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,960 And she's reiterated that now and then. 189 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480 She's talked about how she's going to make sure that it's all 190 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,920 about and it's statements like focus on that there's access. 191 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,640 We'll go through the the statements in a bit, but power 192 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,680 of this thing. Thank you. 193 00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:59,320 So this is console first, console first, console first. 194 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,040 How many times in the last couple of years I said consoles 195 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,240 have been relegated? You're third class citizens if 196 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,160 you're an Xbox consoles. And Despite that people still 197 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,160 sucked off Xbox because PlayStation was getting those 198 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,760 games with updates like Hellblade 2 and Starfield and 199 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,280 all the games like formal. Even down from what's a hifi 200 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760 rush running better on PlayStation not the pro that 201 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,240 didn't even come out at that point. 202 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,880 Still suck them off. I'm like you are a console 203 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,600 hardcore fanboys. You're not even on PC, why the 204 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,720 fuck are you sucking them off? Because Xbox the flag and Xbox 205 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,640 the flag became Microsoft gaming and I made a video on it showing 206 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:42,080 the fucking transition from Xbox to fucking Microsoft gaming. 207 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,320 I'll show you what don't understand what the fuck they 208 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,720 they were expressly saying you weren't enough. 209 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,440 You're a piece of shit. They were saying we need. 210 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,240 We have a primary market with PlayStation Now. 211 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,440 That doesn't mean that they're going to completely forsake 212 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,360 exclusives. You need to understand the 213 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,520 reality of the situation here. They're not literally just going 214 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,240 out and saying oh bye bye PlayStation. 215 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,840 This is going to be manifesting itself and very carefully in 216 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480 one, well, specifically, in my opinion, timed exclusives. 217 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,200 But even if it's timed exclusives, and I think it needs 218 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,680 to be way more than that, it just means that they're actually 219 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,960 starting to realise what the value of the brand is. 220 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,720 She, the Xbox has come out, We're there. 221 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640 This is Xbox. We, we are Xbox. 222 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,320 It's a very strong message. She's out there telling you what 223 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,040 Xbox actually means. Finally, she today she announced 224 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,520 they're killing or actually Tom Warren had to scoop that they're 225 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,920 dropping the Microsoft gaming thing and now it's confirmed. 226 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,520 And where's my my video where I said Xbox loses the console war. 227 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,440 Yeah. And I will bring it when we mute 228 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:59,040 this. Let me show you the hypocrisy of 229 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,960 the executive. Hey, here we go. 230 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,960 This is the video I released when Xbox bullshitted you. 231 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,680 We know that exclusive games from our Microsoft studios are 232 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,320 what originally turned so many of us into Xbox fans. 233 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,840 My team and I take our commitment to you seriously to 234 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,440 make Xbox. The best way for you to play. 235 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,760 So we made the decision that we're going to take four games 236 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,680 to the other consoles. Just four games. 237 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,680 Not a change to our kind of fundamental exclusive strategy. 238 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,960 So if you're on those other platforms and you see these four 239 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,240 games coming, please don't take it as some signal they are not 240 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Starfield or Indiana Jones. What you see the imagery there, 241 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,880 it's quite clear what I'm showing you is the elimination 242 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,440 of the Xbox brand, forsaking it for Microsoft. 243 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:12,200 You see the Xbox logo being that was the biggest problem. 244 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,600 The Xbox went in and just fucking shat on its own 245 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,920 identity. It was the biggest insult to to 246 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,320 to gamers, the biggest insult to the brand biggest insult, 247 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,560 biggest announcement that they they thought that you guys were 248 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,760 not enough. Fundamentally, they thought they 249 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,360 could ride on the coattails of their their their parent brand. 250 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,400 And it's absolutely atrocious. And I'll play this is about 251 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,600 delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms 252 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:48,440 where Game Pass exists that that logo there that needed to 253 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,920 disappear in the space that logo needed to disappear. 254 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,080 And they've announced that they're bringing back Xbox back. 255 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,440 They finally understand that this faceless corporation has 256 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,360 only one real inroads into society in terms of cultural 257 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,000 movement and that's gaming. But after chasing AI so 258 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,880 vigorously and failing, they're real as shit. 259 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,680 What do we do? And that's that should give you 260 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,240 an idea of why should never have absolute faith in but any 261 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,920 corporation, any corporation, including Sony as well. 262 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,640 We've seen the the bullshit that from from them this entire 263 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,360 generation. I don't we've got David Jaffe 264 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,400 scathing comments today that set people up and a lot of people 265 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,520 agree for a reason. So This is why you should never 266 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,480 including astrostrama. Don't take them at face value, 267 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600 but you have to judge them by their actions right now. 268 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,680 It's a lot of words, but even with the words there's the 269 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,480 statement is clear, the manifesto is clear actually. 270 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Why she thank you so much for the $20 super checkers. 271 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,000 Now guys, I like you and I like Alex. 272 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Both are my boys. Having disagreement is healthy. 273 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,040 Both of you have valid points of view. 274 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,760 Don't get dragged into Twitter hate mobs. 275 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,960 I trust you and respect your text. 276 00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,120 I appreciate that. No, no me. 277 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,080 Look, me and Alex always go back and forth. 278 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,800 We are very strongly minded about what we think, but that 279 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,560 doesn't mean that we hate each other. 280 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,920 Starfield is actually my favourite first party game since 281 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,319 2020. That's just G good to see you 282 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,319 bad. Oh Alex is here as well. 283 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,800 I I know exclusive anti consumer by the way. 284 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,280 I just want to see the blood and mayhem. 285 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,800 Don't do that. I don't give a shit what you 286 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,960 think about your wrong opinions Gene. 287 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,760 You are wrong, you are wrong. It's not anti consumer. 288 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,360 Ultimately, if anyone understands gaming as an art 289 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:38,960 form, it's you. You understand gaming as an art 290 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,960 form. So why do you have this close 291 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,200 minded thing that you know, give access to everyone and that's 292 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,200 what's pro consumer. It's an art form. 293 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,240 You need to fucking save it. You have. 294 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,480 It's just sanctify it Bram. Now this is what platform and 295 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480 level exclusivity will do. It will make them fucking 296 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,160 realise that we want to stand on our own 2 feet as Xbox and not 297 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,000 rely on this lazy drive by because we've got PlayStation 298 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,320 there and they're going to fucking buy N mass. 299 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,640 This is the platform level. Competition has moulded the 300 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,120 space. It is not a fucking alien. 301 00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:13,880 It's not a theory, it's not anything like that. 302 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,080 It's just fact, historical fact. You've had execs from Sony come 303 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,160 out and say it, The whole first party lineup that PlayStation 304 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,760 guys have that fucking jizz over and have jizz and swallow that 305 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,240 shit. What happened? 306 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,880 Who created that? It was because of the 360 and 307 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,600 the competition in the space that they fucking invested and 308 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,800 the tail under the PS3 generation to do that in the 1st 309 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,520 place. So Laden said it, everyone knows 310 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,000 it. It's fucking historical fact. 311 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,120 You say guys, it's more nuance. I'm not a fan of framing things 312 00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,800 as pro anti consumer either. I'm just saying as APC player, I 313 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,800 want my games on PC. Gene, I'm APC gamer as well. 314 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,120 But the difference between me and you, Gene, is that I can 315 00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:58,960 forsake my personal enjoyment, my personal enjoyment for the 316 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,360 greatness, the better good because I want that competition. 317 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,720 So I could be on a selfish level. 318 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,480 Oh, no, it's Alex. Oh no, it's fanboy content 319 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,880 coming back. Oh, no, it's Alex, your Xbox 320 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:13,200 fanboy. Where? 321 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,280 Where's your noise? I want to see. 322 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,520 Oh, no, it's Alex. Really fucking go. 323 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,040 Let's, let's, let's, let's see. Oh, no, it's Alex's fucking 324 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,560 Twitter page. This guy better be fucking 325 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,240 raging at this. How dare he is a backward step. 326 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,120 Let's see. Let's see. 327 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,680 Oh, I'm sorry, Alex, what was this I'm seeing? 328 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,000 I'm seeing nothing today. He just retweeted Hideo Kojima. 329 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,480 And then he says what if Xbox brought Mixer back? 330 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,840 The energy levels are discombobulated, bled. 331 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,840 What happened? Breath, I thought you hated 332 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,200 exclusivity, but when an Xbox you want to bring the MXO back? 333 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:03,840 Get out of here, Gene a bit of I did didn't skip out on my PC 334 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,400 like Alex did. I'm not a little communist 335 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,240 little little bill this PC from a you know from the back of a 336 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,800 fucking bin bro. I spent serious money on this 337 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,720 build on my PC so of course I would rather have Soros on my 338 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,560 fucking PC bro. But at the same time the the 339 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,160 entire space is reinvigorated and it's not console war 340 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,880 content. It's the entire space and how 341 00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,120 the the the the developers and publishers now have precious 342 00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,360 standard. They're all 2 feet in an ideal 343 00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,040 fucking scenario where Xbox actually does go full exclusive. 344 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,840 That's the point. That's the point. 345 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:40,320 Where? Where is it? 346 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,800 Yeah, Bashi, I'm exposing him.

He saw the news. 349 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,760 I said bring back mixer because why bring back Mixer? 350 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,000 Because Xbox is back. That's why. 351 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,920 Fucking Oh no, it's Alex said bring back Mixer because he 352 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,960 knows Xbox is back. He's who wants to feel the 353 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,840 energy back. He just doesn't want to admit 354 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,160 it. Admit it. 355 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,600 That's the reality, bro. Listen, I'm a divisive 356 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,880 character.

I thought different. 401 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,440 I'll be honest with you, I thought that when Pandora's buck 402 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,520 is open the the floodgates are open. 403 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,960 How do you when you get a taste of the flavour of those 404 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,480 PlayStation sales?

Listen, most games are 419 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,600 multiplayer anyway. But I'm talking about platform 420 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,040 level competition. Who are the market leaders? 421 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,920 Nintendo and PlayStation? What are they doing? 422 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,560 Is Nintendo doing forsaking exclusivity? 423 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,640 Where? Where do I see them? 424 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,480 They're they're seen as the harbingers of creativity, the 425 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,760 fucking apex of creativity, and they don't fucking bother 426 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,880 capitulating at all. Everything is on their platform. 427 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,800 And what is that? Does that harm the industry? 428 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,800 Does Nintendo harm the industry? Banned the Fable 5 PS 5? 429 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,640 Fucking I would love that. You know what I would love? 430 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,760 And I know it's not going to happen. 431 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,240 If they cancelled the announcements of this game, they 432 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,520 could never do that. Like Fable. 433 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,240 Holy shit that would send such an insane message. 434 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,760 It will never happen. It will never happen. 435 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,960 It will never happen, but Nintendo doesn't and PlayStation 436 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,480 going back and say fuck that PC money is not good enough. 437 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,240 We're going to focus on our single player games being on our 438 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,920 console and we're going to focus on it and it's absolutely the 439 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,480 right move. I mean why? 440 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,320 Why would they capitulate now? They, they are the Kellogg's of 441 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,280 the industry. They are the fucking cereal 442 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,280 everyone buys. Everyone talks about gaming in 443 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,480 in the UK or what you going to play on? 444 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,680 I'm going to play on PlayStation. 445 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,560 PlayStation just means gaming in the UK. 446 00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,200 Cancel them all now. Leave them off Steam. 447 00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,960 Well a lot of people talking about PC exclusivity. 448 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,600 What does it mean? Obviously PC is all the next 449 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,240 Xbox is APC so don't even think about PC being allowed. 450 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,160 Guys I'm going to be honest, exclusives won't do anything to 451 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,480 Xbox unless they go back and money hack games from something 452 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,640 like 360 days. Besides that at the moment 453 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,840 people at the moment nothing will make people go back to the 454 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,200 Xbox ecosystem. Bashy. 455 00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:53,840 That's a good point to make and I am not a fan of third party 456 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,440 money hatting. That for me doesn't do that 457 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,080 much. However, however, in the space 458 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,200 you have PlayStation that aggressively money hats. 459 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,320 So Bashiyashi is right because we saw Mass Effect, Bioshock, 460 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,480 all of these games are third party games. 461 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,040 Gears of War was actually made by Epic, but these are third 462 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,480 party games that were published by Microsoft and it's a Gears of 463 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,240 War. But still there were third party 464 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,120 games that Xbox returned fire with that. 465 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,680 And I don't like I don't like it as a policy. 466 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,880 There's something I just don't like. 467 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,840 But them doing so bashy bashy is right. 468 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,840 It fucking made PlayStation say oh fuck it out man. 469 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,160 They lost out on Mass Effect for years, about Bioshock for years 470 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,640 and Xbox built an identity of the back of it. 471 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,200 But I said no one had PlayStation or Xbox didn't 472 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,800 really have that many first party studios. 473 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,520 So he's absolutely right. And PlayStation is not holding 474 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,120 back on this money hatting. We've seen that in the entirety 475 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:44,720 of this generation. So I do agree, although I hate 476 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,400 money hatting, but it's if you're if you're you're in a 477 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,920 space that comparison is doing what did you just sit back and 478 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,640 go? And that's what fucking Phil 479 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,800 Spencer was doing. He was too cosy, bro. 480 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,840 There was too much oestrogen flowing out of that man, bro. 481 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,800 He was not. And ironically, it took a lady 482 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,160 like Asha Sharma coming in her bam, she's got bigger fucking 483 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,720 testes than Phil Spencer because she came in and she fucking made 484 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,960 the moves like get rid of this as an Xbox without calling it 485 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,760 Windows fucking gaming. Chop the price of Game Pass, Get 486 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,560 the fuck Call of Duty out of here. 487 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,360 We're going to focus on console first. 488 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,640 Unlike you bastards, not everything is an Xbox. 489 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000 My toilet is not an Xbox. Your face is not an Xbox. 490 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,200 Finally, finally, this the the level of that competition and 491 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,880 discourses will be elevated from this fucking homogeneous dry sea 492 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,600 of everything is everywhere and you've just sucked the lifeblood 493 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,000 of this industry. My theatrics aside, I'm telling 494 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,720 you this is the right move and if they double down to commit, 495 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,840 they will succeed. Phil Spencer comes out in that 496 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,440 into it kind of funny goes oh, I promise you've start feels a 10 497 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,840 out of 10 games still won't make a difference. 498 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,840 Motherfucker, what do you? How can you even say that? 499 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,600 It's not like you're sitting on the fucking, you're sitting on 500 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,600 the pedestal with Xbox and having a whole decade worth of 501 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,880 great fucking games that you have a legacy and goodwill that 502 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,560 you've built. You had an entire failed 503 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,240 generation, Entire failed generation. 504 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:17,480 So what the fuck do you think? Who on earth is expecting a 505 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,360 singular game to make a change of three games or five games? 506 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,600 10 games wouldn't change the fucking fate of Xbox. 507 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,400 But you are now a mega publisher. 508 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,320 You have more publishers than anyone than Sony, than Nintendo. 509 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,520 The whole thing about PlayStation has Xbox has no 510 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,560 games is dead.

You saw the Metacritic ratings 513 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,920 that their Playstations sat down a fucking what, 22 or 12 or 514 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,160 somewhere down below? Not even the top five. 515 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,960 And after all that rally with ABK and all the fighting and all 516 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,120 the Xbox fans fighting for this brand to actually grab a chisel 517 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,320 it's teeth, The moment you secured everything you fucking 518 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,080 went multiplat and it was disgraceful and it hurt the 519 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,080 industry. Do you leave Steam if you are in 520 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,880 charge? It's not even conscionable at 521 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,960 this point. Xbox, when I say a Pandora's 522 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,160 box, Steam is not even constable. 523 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,080 Your next your console is an PC hybrid, whatever the fuck it's 524 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,640 called, it's a hybrid console.

Microsoft Windows is a fucking 546 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,120 PC company. They can't even fix that shit. 547 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,040 They need to sort that shit out. Well, let's go through what the 548 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,960 hell that she's actually talking about in this space. 549 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:40,560 Let's go through the blog, and I'm not a sucker for little 550 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,520 statements here and there, but this is a strong statement. 551 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,840 I can almost hear her delivering this fucking speech to a whole 552 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,480 We are Xbox. Xbox has always been different, 553 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,120 and that's the thing. Different from what? 554 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,560 What is it different from? What do you think is different 555 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,680 from is different from Microsoft? 556 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,840 It's it's been the old thing that is the renegade Xbox was 557 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200 the outlier. That's what I'm hoping she's 558 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,120 alluding to. We started with a simple idea 559 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,560 game should bring people together through shared 560 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,080 experience. This is the I don't give a shit 561 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,360 OK that led to the first Xbox 2001 live in 2002. 562 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,840 We changed the game. Thank you Xbox new ways to 563 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,480 connect from friends achievements with Xbox fucking 564 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,560 was when it back when Xbox was actually fucking innovating blah 565 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,840 blah blah blah blah. We have work to do. 566 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,600 The first sub paragraph is admitting we got loads of things 567 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:41,880 and look players are frustrated. The only time, the only time 568 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,520 you've seen that kind of disclosure was Phil come up on 569 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,160 kind of funny games after the CMA fucking absolutely blasted 570 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,400 his back doors and then blocked the the ABK deal and then he was 571 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,840 like he was looking deflated as fuck. 572 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,960 He's like and and even Paris lilies looking like he got all a 573 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,320 deer in the fucking headlines like what the fuck is going on? 574 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,240 That's when he got that kind of disclosure. 575 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,560 This is a written bit. This is this is not pre. 576 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,320 This is not spur of the moment. This is predetermined. 577 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,040 There is intent behind these words that has the sign off of 578 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,200 everyone. We have work to do. 579 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,040 Players are frustrated amazing new new feature drops of console 580 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,680 have been less frequent. First thing focuses on console. 581 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,520 Amazing. Our presence on PC isn't strong 582 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,560 enough. Amazing. 583 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,440 Who talks like this in a fucking press release? 584 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,520 This is holding their hands up to saying we done fucked up. 585 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Gaz was right. Oh hell Gaz. 586 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,120 Oh no, it's Alex is a communist peasant. 587 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,240 Fuck him. I love you Alex. 588 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,960 Pricing is getting harder for people to keep up with. 589 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,560 What does that mean? I reckon with the pricing bit, 590 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,440 you're going to start to actually potentially see Xbox 591 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:56,440 Series X&S actually get cheaper. They might do a price, a price 592 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,440 reduction and I'll tell you why later on in this very blog. 593 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,960 And core experiences like search and discovery, social 594 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,120 personalization still feel too fragmented. 595 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,080 Facts. Developers and publishers are 596 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,600 asking for more. So she's the main developers and 597 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,920 publisher are also asking for more. 598 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,240 We didn't really think about the whole developer and publisher 599 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,040 element. We thought, OK, then they just 600 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,560 doing their bits, but she's holding their hands up. 601 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,960 And this is a message not only to fucking fans, it's to 602 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,240 publishers and other developers. They I know you want more, 603 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,200 better tools, The tools, better insights and a platform that 604 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,840 helps them grow faster. At the same time, a new 605 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,560 generation of players is coming online with different 606 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,520 expectations. Their time is split across 607 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,840 media, and everything else is competing for their attention. 608 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,480 This was such a divisive comment when Matt Booty or someone else 609 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,840 made that comment. But it's true. 610 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,800 It's true for me. Even us older bods, we're on 611 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,120 Instagram, we're sharing reels, we're making fucking dank memes. 612 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,400 Everything is competing with everything. 613 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,640 So how do you do? How do you deal with that? 614 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,160 How do you reconcile with that? But do you sacrifice? 615 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,680 This is where the dangerous step lies, where a lot of a lot of 616 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,640 companies will make missteps. They expect more content in 617 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,440 familiar places. And this is where you're, oh, 618 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,400 are they going mobile? Are they going mobile? 619 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,960 What to shape the and it's funny because there there was some 620 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,280 reporting that my Xbox was going to abandon their mobile store. 621 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,080 And then she comes out directly says, no, no, we're not doing 622 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040 that, sorry. Socialise together, not just 623 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,360 play together. These changes are happening at 624 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,000 the industry that reshapes us, blah, blah, blah. 625 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,080 Console remains largely, this is interesting. 626 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,360 Console remains large and stable. 627 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,040 So that's an admission that they're not forsaking console. 628 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,159 And it makes a distinction between consoles and PC. 629 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,679 And that statement says it is stable, which means Windows 630 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:38,960 recognises that they still have a core fan base. 631 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,639 We, we have a lot of goodwill where the vast majority of their 632 00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:46,520 Game Pass Subs reside. It'll be console Windows now 633 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,000 represents more players and more hours and is increasingly where 634 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,360 competition is most intense. That is very important. 635 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,000 We've seen multiple fucking developers coming in at GDC and 636 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,800 whatever, wherever will you see all the, what's it called polls? 637 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,760 Not polls, the surveys that they do, and they're just remarkably 638 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,800 PC first. Now players have access to more 639 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,160 games than ever before, even as the cost and time to build 640 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,800 blockbuster titles continue to rise, putting pressure on what 641 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,600 games get made and how risk is taken. 642 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,920 In fact, some of the biggest recent hits are coming from 643 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,280 small teams or even single creators. 644 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,760 Absolutely they are. Unlike Kiln though. 645 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,560 Kiln. Rest in peace. 646 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,880 Kiln's got like 3 players. There's there's more people 647 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,360 watching this fucking stream that people playing Kiln so 648 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,280 double fine. You need to fix up or do 649 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,560 something. It might be a good game, I don't 650 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,360 know, but dank memes and places like Roblox are producing 651 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,600 experience that rival major franchises in scale. 652 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,960 More players also choose this is interesting. 653 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,800 More players are. More players are also choosing 654 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,880 subscriptions and services as their way to play, with 655 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,600 expectations set around instant access, ongoing value in 656 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,880 libraries that evolve. A lot of the Xbox changes to the 657 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,080 game pass thing a lot of people were assuming. 658 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,720 Oh well, actually fuck. And it's true, they've bled, 659 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,120 they've bled subscribers. So for her to make that 660 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,640 statement, I find it interesting. 661 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,920 I do. Industry has been global 662 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,560 compared to blah blah blah blah blah. 663 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,200 More than half of markets, revenue, players and growth are 664 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,400 happening outside our core markets. 665 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,480 Again, more concerning, I don't want to just do anything that 666 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,800 indicates my throat is fucked, that they're going to go mobile 667 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,320 or something. Developers are increasingly 668 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,560 competing with the most developers that there are some, 669 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,200 but the rest of the world is not just a large market. 670 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,480 Developers there are increasingly competing with the 671 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,080 most established Western studios, combining scale, speed, 672 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,040 and willingness to reinvent genres many once considered 673 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,720 mature. Hey, what the fuck? 674 00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:47,760 That's very interesting. That's interesting. 675 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,400 That model, that model that got the model that got us here won't 676 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,360 be the one that takes us forward. 677 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,880 Deep Dick. What does that mean? 678 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,520 What does that mean? She's talking about where, you 679 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,520 know, the global market, talking about the competition in the 680 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,880 space because the Far East Asia is kicking the shit out of 681 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,120 Western Dems. And they're they're talking 682 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,000 about her, their speed and agility. 683 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,080 And we've seen markets like Korea, we see China coming, 684 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,800 China and they're just fucking killing it. 685 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,240 They're killing it and they're reinventing genres like we've 686 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:28,240 seen. We've seen them murk it. 687 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,280 So there, there's an acknowledgement there about the 688 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,440 challenges that are presented globally and you'll talk, 689 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,640 they'll talk about where they're focusing next, which will make 690 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,000 more sense and lends credence to these things. 691 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,880 Oh shit, what doubt? Where'd that go? 692 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,160 Xbox will be where the world plays are. 693 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,840 This is sounds like hubris. So let's see, what does Xbox 694 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,280 become in the next era? It's the existential question, 695 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,440 where are you seeing Xbox in the future? 696 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,360 Are you going to sacrifice? Are you going to sacrifice the 697 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,080 lifeblood, the DNA of Xbox and all the decades? 698 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,880 Well, apart from the Xbox One generation of goodwill you 699 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,960 built, it was a fluke. You did it with Xbox, the 700 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,680 original Xbox, with Halo. You got Halo, boom, the Unicorn. 701 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,000 Unicorn changed the fate. Then you LED with the 360, 702 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,040 changed the face of online gaming, blood boom. 703 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,360 And then you fucked it up broadly. 704 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,640 But now, now you're at a crossroads. 705 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,360 Where do you want Xbox to be? A mega publisher that just looks 706 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,320 at numbers and the spreadsheet? Or you want an appreciable brand 707 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,800 and the house actually has some value. 708 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,960 This is an artistic, creative space. 709 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,800 If you don't don't maintain your identity here, you're finished. 710 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:45,120 It's just dying slowly. But this is a very pertinent 711 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,160 question. Xbox will be where the world 712 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,240 plays and creates. We will build a global platform 713 00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,040 that connects, plays and creates every blah blah blah. 714 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,360 Consoles are the foundation. That's important. 715 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,480 Her reiterating that is extremely important. 716 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,040 Console being at the foundation, delivering a premium experience 717 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,000 and cloud brings that experience to any device. 718 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,400 You can play where you want and your games progress, your games 719 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,760 progress, Friends and identity stay with you across console, 720 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,040 PC, mobile and cloud and that's Play Anywhere and Play Anywhere 721 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,520 is dank. It is. 722 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,480 Xbox will be built, and this is where it's interesting, built to 723 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,560 be affordable, personal and open. 724 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,320 How do you reconcile this affordable console when the next 725 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,320 Helix is rumoured to be a beast of a machine that costs? 726 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,240 I don't know how much it's going to be a beast of a machine 727 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:36,680 that's going to cost apparently upwards of 1200 grand. 728 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,640 It's like 12-12 hundred pounds or dollars. 729 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,280 We'll be offering flexible pricing so it's easy to get 730 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,040 started and keep playing. So there's that this experience 731 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,880 will adapt to you, letting you to customise how you play. 732 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,680 And apparently this customization is going to lend 733 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,440 itself in the way Game Pass is structured as well. 734 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,000 There'll be, there's rumours of a pick your Game Pass model as 735 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,280 you want, which sounds really good. 736 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,920 I don't know how that will work. Helping you find what you love 737 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,680 and connecting with the with the right people. 738 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,520 We'll also we and we will open to all creators, from 739 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,000 individuals to large studios, giving anyone the tools to reach 740 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,720 a global audience. That's more for developers. 741 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,040 And yeah, this is a key point on New North Star. 742 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,560 Will be daily active players. We've talked about monthly 743 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,800 active users all the time, but it's the focus is on players. 744 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:28,360 This is so funny, isn't it? We've seen we've seen focus on 745 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,000 sales, console sale and not saying that it's not important, 746 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,880 but Xbox guys made a big mistake of disregarding that and that's 747 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,440 not true. That's not the right move. 748 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,880 But monthly active users was the next metric. 749 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,320 Even Sony, the market leader then said that's what is what's 750 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,600 really important. Xbox are going a further, going 751 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,880 further and saying the new North Star, the way that they measure 752 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,040 success and the sort and measure how they're performing is daily 753 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,200 active players. And that is interesting because 754 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,440 it's all about engagement. Engagement is the new metric. 755 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,080 It's the be all and end all of everything. 756 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,040 We will execute this through 4 priorities. 757 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,960 This is their game plan. This is the manifesto and how 758 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,880 they execute it. They've told you what their 759 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,240 priorities are, what they think that they need to do. 760 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,960 Now they're going to tell you how they're going to do that. 761 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,000 Hardware very important. Stabilise Gen 9 as a healthy and 762 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,240 high quality base. Good luck with that, Brav, if 763 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:27,680 you need to do that because yeah, develop, deliver project 764 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,160 healers to lead in performance and play your console and PC 765 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,080 games. This in itself is massive. 766 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,760 This is a massive departure from the status quo since time began. 767 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,800 A console that plays console games and PC games. 768 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,080 The execution of it, we have no idea how it's going to be. 769 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,920 We've got an idea through the Asus wrong Ally, maybe a glimpse 770 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,920 of it, but expect it to develop when it comes to this thing. 771 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,560 Think about it. The new Xbox comes out for him. 772 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,160 Our Project Helix, hybrid console, whatever. 773 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,560 This is the piece of a thing. People now suddenly play World 774 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,240 of Warcraft on it. Think about the marketing. 775 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,680 Xbox owns fucking Blizzard. They're going to shut. 776 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,960 Are they going to just sit, sit that one out? 777 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,280 The opportunities to market PC games on this thing is massive. 778 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,200 World of Warcraft, though, is a big one. 779 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,200 A big one. And don't give me the bullshit 780 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,440 you can't play on controller, things like that. 781 00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:29,400 So the delivering project he is to lead in performance. 782 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,960 Now obviously this thing is rumoured to come in to come out 783 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,360 next year. So it's just going to lead in 784 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,400 performance by default anyway. When the PlayStation 6 comes out 785 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,680 then expect it to be more powerful maybe. 786 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,280 But then the you know, I don't know what's happening with the 787 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,720 rumours. Petran knows about specs. 788 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,200 He's that more tech minded in the chat. 789 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,680 So I don't know. I don't know what the rumblings 790 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,320 are on on the console power front. 791 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,400 And for me after this this generation, I say let's wait 792 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,600 till the results come out because they want to get burnt 793 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,240 by whatever bullshit happens. Then Digital Foundry are like oh 794 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:09,440 what the fuck. The series X is weak lead in 795 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,960 comfortable personal high performance accessories. 796 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,080 My fucking face is so I didn't even look. 797 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,600 I mean spitting like a madman. I didn't even focus this thing. 798 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,520 Glad I'm so close to the Tig. Glad. 799 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:24,880 There you go. You see my baldy? 800 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,680 Look at my baldy. Look at the creating. 801 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,600 Look at my baldy. Wait, wait, wait. 802 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,720 Hold on, hold on. I think that's in focus. 803 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,120 That's better. I'm fucking my face. 804 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,000 Wasn't the camera. Sorry for making you guys 805 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,560 uncomfortable. You can watch my baldy. 806 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,960 I bowed it. I bowed it. 807 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,000 All right. Build a strong ecos lead in 808 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,040 comfortable, personal, high performance accessories. 809 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,560 I don't give a shit. Build a strong ecosystem that 810 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:55,360 expands choice and reads OK, that's hardware. 811 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,000 The main two things we care about is basically project Helix 812 00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,920 of what they're going to do there, and I think the you're 813 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,080 going to start seeing affordable fucking. 814 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,720 You're going to see price price reductions on the Series X&S. 815 00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:06,400 They're fucking they're normal's buying them. 816 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,960 Xbox might be around 5080 septic source if and managed to deliver 817 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,120 an RDNA that's closer to NVIDIA feature set. 818 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,080 I'm seeing some rumours that this thing is going to be a 819 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,960 $3000 machine and 1200. It's going to be fucking 820 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,480 amazing. I'm just going to wait and see. 821 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,360 I'm just going to wait and see, but for me as APC gamer, this 822 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,320 Xbox Helix device, this hybrid is amazing for my fucking living 823 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,880 room. If it's like anywhere close to 824 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:38,480 that power content and grow and extend an enduring portfolio 825 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,280 franchises players love, they're already on their way to do that. 826 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,960 They're doing that much better than they ever have. 827 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,120 You get a gears, Halo, Forza, all of that this year already, 828 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,560 but it's their stable trademark. But you now you've got Fable 829 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,120 coming out you Gears of War looks better than ever before. 830 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,680 You've got Elder Scrolls under their banner. 831 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,320 You've got the entirety of fucking Blizzard now there. 832 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,440 So well, Wolfenstein, the next Wolfenstein. 833 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,400 Give us fucking Quake, man. I'm dying from Quake. 834 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,680 But I guess that's a niche market now, which is 835 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,400 disgraceful. But they've got a whole fucking 836 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,200 suite of studios, so them doing their portfolio is beast. 837 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,600 Anyone trying to downplay that is a moron. 838 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,360 Evolve. But yeah, like funds would say 839 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:24,680 we need more fucking beast critical hitters 90 plus Metal 840 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:25,960 games. And I agree with funds. 841 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:28,960 Epic, why are you typing in Chinese? 842 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,720 What's up here?

So do that. 848 00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:50,520 Obviously, Japan is a key area focus there. 849 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:57,640 And the next one is China. China expanded China emerging 850 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,400 markets and mobile first audiences. 851 00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,200 Yeah. But yeah China you cannot 852 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,120 ignore. China is fucking huge. 853 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,160 Then you just be stupid to even ignore it. 854 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,120 Just look at the blackmail through Kong sales. 855 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,160 Yo gaming with Pashon.

I now I'm feeling like we need 871 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:58,280 more multiplayer games from Microsoft. 872 00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:00,440 Elevate, create a set of perfect Minecraft. 873 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,120 I don't give a shit.

Overall discovery, 877 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,320 customization, this is a lot for discoveries, more important for 878 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,040 developers and players. So, but yeah, that's more 879 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,000 important than personalization to connect, community, blah, 880 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,320 blah, blah. That's why the Discord thing 881 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:26,040 that was announced today. Safe, safe services 45 Game Pass 882 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,040 with clear differentiation. We've been talking about how 883 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,360 Game Pass has just been fucking. The tears don't make any sense. 884 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,240 Good luck trying to fix that. I don't know how what they're 885 00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:34,960 going to do but good luck. Return to return the business to 886 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,640 durable growth with strong cost discipline. 887 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,920 Good luck with that Brav.

Use. 893 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,640 Oh I didn't I missed this bit. Use mergers and acquisitions to 894 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,240 deliberately deliberately to accelerate growth where organic 895 00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:08,720 parts are too slow. It's acquisition season baby. 896 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,520 I didn't expect that. I didn't see that. 897 00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:19,120 Oh wow shit. Well, what are they going to buy 898 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:27,280 Xbox have the fucking commitment to now still wait what they have 899 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,240 they pulled the rug from developers so many council games 900 00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:34,080 like project Blackburn, which is supposed to be fucking amazing. 901 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,200 They pulled the rug out there because they were chasing AI the 902 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,840 next shiny thing like Magpies, and now they're saying they're 903 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:44,320 going to fucking go back to re kindle buy more shit, buy more 904 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,320 shit at least fucking re reinforce some confidence in the 905 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,600 existing studios. I know for a fact people, the 906 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,400 developers in these studios are like, what the fuck? 907 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,920 We have no faith. These masters might stab us in 908 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,680 the back again. So, but that is surprising. 909 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:04,440 That is surprising. Hockey of all the people, hockey 910 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,800 is in the chat because acquisition season, baby. 911 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,440 Hello dad. It's good to see you and I'm 912 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,000 proud. It's so funny that you come out 913 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,720 when it comes to acquisition. It has been massive support of 914 00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:20,400 acquisition G punk G force now shits on Xbox yeah I know that's 915 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,560 why I don't fucking use it. Everyone talks about G force now 916 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,560 fork G Gene park has been using G force now correct me if I'm 917 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,960 wrong Gene to play fucking finally realise greatness of 918 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,360 cyberpunk. I think in path tracing you used 919 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,280 to play path trace or or was it Resident Evil Requiem? 920 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,600 And Gene Park isn't a console fucking fanboy or anything like 921 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,600 that. Gene Park is an alter. 922 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,800 You're lucky. I'm lucky to be in the Steam 923 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,800 company of such a gentleman who understands the art form, but 924 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:54,920 when he says PC gaming is dank, fucking take notice bro, take 925 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,720 notice. It's not us, it's not Xbox guys. 926 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,360 Oh come in. Fell into favour, then what? 927 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:01,800 There's an errand, guess an element of it. 928 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,160 But PC gaming this generation, if you're PC gaming and you're 929 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,840 playing with so many games of Path trace now including 930 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,240 Pragmata, including Resident Evil, then the next game James 931 00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:13,160 Bond. But the the fact that Path 932 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,560 tracing is now coming to the fore and becoming mainstream is 933 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,160 a fucking amazing. He has GeForce now. 934 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,640 It's a 5090. So GeForce is basically using a 935 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,760 PlayStation 6. PlayStation 6 wishes it was a 936 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,720 5090. Fucking crazy. 937 00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:32,240 It's PlayStation 7 bruv. And you could do that through 938 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,200 cloud. You don't have to spend 67 grand 939 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,080 on a fucking PC. You could do that now. 940 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,600 That's how do you good. GeForce now is Xbox. 941 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,800 Good luck with that, but that is surprising. 942 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,040 Mergers and acquisitions to deliberate. 943 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,120 Except that means they're buying again. 944 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,840 They're buying again. Holy shit who would they buy? 945 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,840 Oh my God, we're back to this conversation again. 946 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,000 But fucking crazy I I did not see that and that's like a 947 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,120 fourth bullet point. Maybe I'm reading too much into 948 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,760 it, but mergers and acquisitions with what? 949 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,240 Smaller things where organic parts but organic parts for a 950 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,440 trillion dollar company could be fucking Capcom. 951 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:13,520 No one but we could wish. I'm still pro consolidation. 952 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,840 Along the way we'll re evaluate our approach to exclusivity. 953 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:21,800 This, this little line at the end has changed everything. 954 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:29,060 This changes everything. Along the way we will re 955 00:51:29,060 --> 00:51:31,160 evaluate our approach to exclusivity. 956 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:37,520 Guys, just fucking just let that go, safe windowing and AI and 957 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,080 share more as we learn and decide. 958 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:46,600 Xbox has opened Pandora's box. They have to now have a measured 959 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,480 approach. What do I think this means? 960 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,520 Principally, I think this means timed exclusives. 961 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:56,920 That's what I think it means. I think it means they know that 962 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,920 what they've got, next Gen cuts are coming out next year. 963 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,200 They can't just fucking put everything out there, completely 964 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,760 kill the value of it. I don't think they can fully put 965 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,080 the genie back in the bottle. And it's a fluid approach. 966 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,920 It is a fluid one. But they cannot be emboldening 967 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,000 their competitors or previous competitors here. 968 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,440 They have to tread very carefully. 969 00:52:19,240 --> 00:52:21,680 But this is I, I believe. I believe this. 970 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,040 Look at the end. We are Xbox. 971 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:28,040 To achieve our master plan, the way we work must transform. 972 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,440 Our best work happens when the full stack moves together. 973 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,840 Microsoft Gaming describes our structure, but it does not 974 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,120 describe our ambition. So we are going back to changing 975 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,320 the team's name. We are Xbox. 976 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,240 Thank fucking thank fuck for that fucking Microsoft. 977 00:52:43,240 --> 00:52:45,200 No one has any love for Microsoft. 978 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,680 Every time you think of Microsoft, you're thinking 979 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,280 fucking Microsoft. That fucking what's that space 980 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,560 movie? I forgot the space series with 981 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,240 the guy from the Office. What his name? 982 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:57,840 And fuck it, I say that all the time. 983 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,040 Fucking Microsoft with Outlook, with Teams. 984 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,320 Teams is dog shit by the way, if you use Teams, rest in peace. 985 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,600 We are high agency. We are a high agency culture 986 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,360 where wild and wonderful ideas thrive. 987 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,480 Let's see. Our job is not to smooth over 988 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,800 our differences, but to connect everyone into something greater 989 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,320 than anyone, studio or product. We have to be honest about where 990 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,040 we are. We are a challenger and meeting 991 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:22,280 this moment will require pace, energy, and a level of self 992 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,520 critique that should feel uncomfortable. 993 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,560 I love this woman. I love this woman. 994 00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:31,040 When did you get this from Phil Spencer? 995 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,680 Phil Spencer, someone's literally fucking hugging you. 996 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,920 You had little purses, sofas there. 997 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,200 You had the Lube out. Or you're just like, Oh yeah, 998 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,240 come on, let me massage you. You want to feel good? 999 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,160 Don't worry about it. Oh, yeah. 1000 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,440 You were spending a decade to build this game. 1001 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,680 You don't even know what it is. Don't worry about it. 1002 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,360 Let me touch you up a little bit more. 1003 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,760 Yeah, Yeah. You know, you need to feel 1004 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,640 uncomfortable. Bruh. 1005 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,800 This is a fucking creative space. 1006 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:58,000 You'll be battered so Roly despite you brute forcing it 1007 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,400 with cash. It's time. 1008 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,680 It's time for you to get your testicles out and make the hard 1009 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,400 calls. And this is where Asha Sharma 1010 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,440 comes in. And I pretty much attribute this 1011 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,320 to South Asian parenting. That's right, it's never good 1012 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,240 enough. No matter what it is, it's never 1013 00:54:15,240 --> 00:54:17,880 good enough. I can speak attest to that. 1014 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,200 But that's like lawyer, So what? Who cares? 1015 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,040 So what you should have done, You got a lawyer 10 years ago. 1016 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,600 Oh Dad, I'm making this much money, I don't give a shit. 1017 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,360 You should be making £1,000,000, but that's what helps Xbox, the 1018 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:35,560 hard Asian parenting. Just go everywhere onto my mic, 1019 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,760 jizz everywhere like Phil Spencer to just all the 1020 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,000 developers and say yeah, good things, soft things, everything 1021 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:48,280 is everywhere.

You know how like Cerseius was 1113 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,080 like dragged through the street butt ass naked with rocks being 1114 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,720 thrown at her? That's what that's how I felt 1115 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,600 all last year, the year before like. 1116 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,280 I know. I know that feeling. 1117 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:52,440 I know that feeling. Yeah, it it, yeah, it was 1118 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,720 definitely. Joined Gene, was up on 2 1119 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,280 weekends. I can do it. 1120 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,440 I've got two man overlay, so I might have to hop through, but I 1121 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,200 need to speak to Gene as well, addicts. 1122 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,120 But before you do, you need to get your fucking you. 1123 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,680 Get off your chest, bro. Talk to us, bro. 1124 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,680 Wait, your camera's moving everywhere, bro. 1125 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,120 Your fucking mic has fucking got so many hairs on it. 1126 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:19,160 What is that? Yeah, we'll see. 1127 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:23,040 I had this, this mic in the, the, the closet for a little 1128 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,600 bit, but then I switched it back out. 1129 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:30,080 So yeah, it's, it's, it's been a, it's been a hectic, hectic 1130 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:34,800 day, man. Like my, my thing, my, my thing 1131 01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,600 is like, I always got upset with the community because they 1132 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,440 always came at me like crazy. And I never said they were 1133 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,280 wrong. All I said was I don't, I, I 1134 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,640 don't think that's the way that they're going to succeed. 1135 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,960 And but they were very vocal about telling me my ass was 1136 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,040 wrong. Yeah, I like I got called, I got 1137 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,760 called the Xbox cord. I got all kinds of stuff. 1138 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,480 Bad people. People live to talk shit about 1139 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,520 me. Every time I even come into IOP. 1140 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:06,720 Often. Often it was just you arguing 1141 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,360 with the chat. It would have been you and then 1142 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,760 King David would be rallying up the chat against you and there's 1143 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,920 you saying no. It's saying all the things that 1144 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,760 I've been saying and I rate that. 1145 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,400 I respect that. Because it's just, it's at the 1146 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,560 end of the day, it's just like people like all exclusives are 1147 01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,920 antiquated. Like all these, all these these 1148 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:30,440 little talkie points they got from the Microsoft PR PR and I'm 1149 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,840 just like, I get that people people don't believe in like 1150 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,640 that, that concept, but it's just like, show me one time it's 1151 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,360 worked. Yeah, absolutely. 1152 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,120 Because we're we're talking about an industry like people 1153 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,760 are trying to like look, technically, yes, by the letter 1154 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:53,440 of the law, exclusives are anti consumer, but the practise is 1155 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,040 better for the actual competition of the industry in 1156 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,280 general. Yeah, because what exclusives 1157 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,840 lead to a healthier ecosystem and and healthier ecosystems 1158 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,440 lead to actually competing with their competitors. 1159 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,840 And I don't think it's like a coincidence that the moment Xbox 1160 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,520 like truly put their put put their guns down, everything just 1161 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,160 stopped. Like it, it, it it's just, it's 1162 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,600 just crazy, man. Because like they all. 1163 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,680 The momentum was lost. All the the spirit in the 1164 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,680 industry was lost. The Game Pass Subs, Subs tagged 1165 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,000 the the brand had no identity. So everyone's saying or more 1166 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,640 players listen. Now look at the cost of it. 1167 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,520 This is an open admission of everything you've been saying 1168 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,280 and I've been saying about the value of exclusivity being 1169 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,480 correct. So, so many people. 1170 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,440 How wrong, so many people. I took the Kool-aid. 1171 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,680 I, I posted a video and I, I posted a GIF and I was like, you 1172 01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,000 know what, all these people that came at me and I use that Walter 1173 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,800 White eye one. I was like this is the only GIF 1174 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,600 I have for you hating ass bitches. 1175 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,200 Bro how does it feel? Tell everyone, how did it feel 1176 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,360 when Halo was announced for Xbox, iPhone, PlayStation? 1177 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,480 At that, I think by by the time Halo showed up, I was already 1178 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,200 this this this launch like I didn't care like I'm going to be 1179 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,640 honest with you, like the last six months before Asha took 1180 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:21,320 over, I was just like, look, this is the ship that Microsoft 1181 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,240 Xbox is now and this bitch is just going to sink. 1182 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,400 There's no discourse, there's no getting around it. 1183 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,360 This thing is taking on water and sooner or later the whole 1184 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:35,600 bitch is going to be in the ocean like and you know what 1185 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,880 Asha took over. I was just like, look, I've been 1186 01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,880 asking for new leadership for a while. 1187 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,920 So I, I find it, I, I find it myself to be hypocritical if I 1188 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:50,040 don't at least give her some, some some time to work and see 1189 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,200 about something. And I'm going to be real. 1190 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,080 Like, look, do we know exactly what's going on? 1191 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:55,720 Do we know that the landscape of things? 1192 01:04:55,720 --> 01:05:00,240 No, but like you to me, it's it's hard to look at what's 1193 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:05,440 going on and not feel like this is this is leading to a better 1194 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,680 place than the what direction that we were going. 1195 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,560 Absolutely. There's a aimless this 1196 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:11,040 direction. There was no direction. 1197 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:15,200 It was Xbox sacrificing the vision of what it was to pacify 1198 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:19,120 the shareholders or the executives at the cost of 1199 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,160 everything. And the messaging is clear. 1200 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,120 Why are they saying we are Xbox? Why are they getting rid of the 1201 01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,280 whole Microsoft label? Why all of that is a 1202 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,560 confirmation of everything we've been saying that the cost of 1203 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,160 this. Too much in the crazy the car 1204 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,560 crazy park guy. She did this in two months. 1205 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,680 I know. Like 60 days that like like she 1206 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,560 it's just it's wild that so much stuff can be reversed. 1207 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,840 Then why did why wasn't it reversed a long time ago? 1208 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,000 Like you know what? That is a very good question. 1209 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,000 Like a lot of people are saying, like, you know, they had a 1210 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,680 mandate, they had to follow it. But this woman came in and the 1211 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,000 space of 60 days has changed fundamentally everything. 1212 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,120 She recognised immediately off the bat that this Xbox is not 1213 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,040 going to work. This is the exclusivity question 1214 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,320 has to be answered. And you know, fucking gay pass 1215 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,320 is too expensive. So maybe she, you know, we gave 1216 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,920 too much credit to Phil Spencer for like maybe fine. 1217 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,320 I don't know what the dynamic is. 1218 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,640 We can only guess, but she's made changes remarkably quick 1219 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,960 and it's fundamentally changing the way we look at Xbox. 1220 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:23,720 It is definitely a huge argument to be made that, you know, would 1221 01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:27,840 that when that dip happened in, in the stocks and they try to 1222 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,640 blame that shit on, on the gaming division, they 1223 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:32,080 stockholders didn't believe that shit. 1224 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,440 Like they, they they knew it was their over commit to AI that led 1225 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,560 to that shit. And, and, and Satya is in 1226 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,640 probably a way worse situation in terms of like the 1227 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,240 shareholders than he was. Because when you're, when 1228 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,840 you're, when you're sucking up all the air out of all the, the 1229 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,200 shit, there ain't nothing to breathe anymore. 1230 01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:56,400 Xbox was suffocating And and I will say that when this 1231 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,760 happened, in my opinion, and obviously I'm probably wrong 1232 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,760 because you know, we can only go off the information we have. 1233 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,800 I think there was a lot of backlash and you can't just 1234 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,920 reverse the ship and people believe you. 1235 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,800 There had to be leadership change to show a change in 1236 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,920 trajectory after the leadership change. 1237 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,840 Because if they would have just still came out one day be like, 1238 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,880 OK, we reversed. No one would have believed them. 1239 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:23,280 No one, especially how like mixed messaging they've been for 1240 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,720 the past three or four years. Like, like it's got to the point 1241 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,600 where it's just like, I don't believe anything they say, but 1242 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,920 Asha is, is, is doing the things that she say. 1243 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,240 And what I like is when you read that statement that they put 1244 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,480 today, there was accountability in there. 1245 01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,400 She's like, we pissed off our audience. 1246 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,640 They pissed. They pissed, pissed. 1247 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:48,600 Saying, saying that players are frustrated as the starting salvo 1248 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:53,200 of your fucking blog is a very bold stance to me and it shows 1249 01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,120 that it's an open admission that fucking hell, we got things 1250 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:57,840 wrong. We need to fix shit. 1251 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,000 And I that's what I rate. I rate the honest conversation. 1252 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,320 I don't like this glossing everything over, you know, like 1253 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,320 in that game, video game that failed haze where they injected 1254 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,080 those chemicals to you and everything looks nice and 1255 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,440 fucking everything is nice. And that's what Phil, Phil's 1256 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,400 person was just glazing it through because he was so 1257 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,640 scared. I mean, at the same time there 1258 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,399 was a pros and cons. Phil Spencer was very, a lot of 1259 01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:23,200 people had a lot of Laura Fry and loads of other people have 1260 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,560 said they they really helped. He went out of his way to help 1261 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,120 them. But you're running a business 1262 01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:31,560 and very competitive business with a very competitive, very 1263 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,279 eager, determined players in the space. 1264 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,800 So Kumbaya doesn't work. And not to mention it makes 1265 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,840 your, the core audience that you know, are in your ecosystem. 1266 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,399 Like it's like we've been saying a while for like second class 1267 01:08:44,399 --> 01:08:46,720 citizens, because it's like, you needed to tell me that you're 1268 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,439 going to put the only reasoning people would buy into your 1269 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:54,399 ecosystem to another platform that's going to take that 30% 1270 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,800 and then use that to lock other games off your platform. 1271 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,760 Like it is just, it made zero sense. 1272 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,920 Like nothing made sense. And that's why there was no, 1273 01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,680 there was no gas lighting. There's not enough gas lighting 1274 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:08,720 the world to make me jump on that. 1275 01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,600 No exclusivity shit matters like that. 1276 01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,080 There's not any look. And it's like I said, Alex and 1277 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,520 them, they are right. It is anti consumer. 1278 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:17,439 It helps no one. But here's the thing. 1279 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:18,560 No, it doesn't. That's not. 1280 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:23,880 Xbox be Xbox being a competitor in the space is better than them 1281 01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,120 than them keeping exclusives off other platforms like. 1282 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:32,479 Absolutely. I disagree vociferously, very, 1283 01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,479 very, very aggressively with that notion that it's not good 1284 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,240 for players because it depends on what you what, What do you 1285 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,000 value in this space? Do you value? 1286 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,720 No, I, I, I was saying the letter of the law, like it's 1287 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,600 just giving people less options is anti consumer. 1288 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,120 But there are practises, there are practises that's anti 1289 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,920 consumer that have a better healthy impact in the industry 1290 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,040 than other anti consumer things. Some things it just, it's just 1291 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:58,520 the way business is done. Yeah. 1292 01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,120 And that's what that was blowing my mind. 1293 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,760 When you looking at like other industries, every industry, 1294 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,920 every industry, there's not one industry I could think of that 1295 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:08,840 does not have some form of exclusives. 1296 01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,440 Bro streaming services have exclusives. 1297 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,120 Does two other players in the space have exclusives? 1298 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,440 But Microsoft Kumaya is going to work for their brand. 1299 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,840 It's so I don't understand how these trillion dollar companies 1300 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,360 fucking operate. Some of this is so obvious. 1301 01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,960 You want my honest opinion, what I thought happened, I think they 1302 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:33,920 generally wanted to be like a like a a third party multi 1303 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,960 platform approach. I think they were generally 1304 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,800 going in that direction and then they saw the sales of their 1305 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,600 games on other platforms and they kept seeing the sales on 1306 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:46,040 their games, other platforms. And now they're they're they're 1307 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:50,240 looking and like maybe this isn't a good idea because if you 1308 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,960 look at it look look at other industries, yeah, look at other 1309 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,720 publishers. How every year we're seeing this 1310 01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,680 publisher getting bought off. This publisher has to have like 1311 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,320 some large sum of money that's influx to to to survive. 1312 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:08,080 I don't understand how Microsoft looked at the publishing like 1313 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,280 the AAA publishingly and say, yeah, that that we want in that. 1314 01:11:11,480 --> 01:11:14,560 Because the the problem is is when you are a like when you're 1315 01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,520 a publisher, you go off the merits of your games and games 1316 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,440 alone. But if you're if you are a 1317 01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:24,080 console manufacturer and and you you host games on on your 1318 01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,360 console, you can also thrive off the industry in general 1319 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,000 thriving. Because when Resident Evil 1320 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:30,920 requiem sells good, you make money. 1321 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,640 When GTA6 sells good, you make money. 1322 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,880 When pragmatics sells good, you make money. 1323 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,080 But when you're just a a multi platform and you only really 1324 01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,280 have your games to work off of. If your games don't hit every 1325 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:46,000 time that you don't make money. And Sony PlayStation is the 1326 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,680 perfect example of that when they their platform is a brand 1327 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,720 that withstands its name, has Providence. 1328 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,120 And that why that's why when what you're saying is correct, 1329 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,360 third party titles will make them money. 1330 01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:00,480 Most of the sales are on PlayStation. 1331 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,520 They make money as a result. And if you if you and if you 1332 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,200 don't, yeah, you're making money off of your own bag, but you 1333 01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,640 have no real brand value. And the game doesn't hit like 1334 01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,560 kiln, which only has like 100. And I know it's a smaller 1335 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,320 studio, but then what? What happens to that studio like 1336 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:18,520 it the the brand identity is so fundamentally important for the 1337 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,560 success of the platform long term. 1338 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,960 If you're talking about access to players, what is it going to 1339 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,560 be good with PlayStation? Xbox is just whittled down to 1340 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,280 being nothing and it's short sighted thinking. 1341 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,560 And The funny thing is the just the Capcom games, the Capcom 1342 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,480 third party games, I'm willing to bet you who's going to make 1343 01:12:36,480 --> 01:12:41,080 more money for PlayStation, that 30% the Xbox has made on the 1344 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:44,680 entire time that they've been publishing on PlayStation with 1345 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,960 that 70%. Yeah, absolutely. 1346 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:48,480 Absolutely. What they said like what? 1347 01:12:48,480 --> 01:12:51,400 2,000,000 on on PlayStation with just requiem. 1348 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,600 We're not talking about any other game, just Requiem. 1349 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,800 What? That's great before because I 1350 01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:58,960 have to get Gene Pocket. I've only got 2 manners with me. 1351 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:02,160 What do you want to say? Your closing thoughts? 1352 01:13:02,480 --> 01:13:04,400 You're on the main screen. I want to see Addict, What do 1353 01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,200 you want to fucking say to all the fucking people who said fuck 1354 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:08,600 you, Addict, what do you want to say? 1355 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,800 Say it. It's it's at the end of day, 1356 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,960 like like here's the thing, like I don't like these people that 1357 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,120 speak in indefinites. Like they want to go out there 1358 01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,080 and they act like every time I speak like, look, man, I'm only 1359 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,000 some dude on the Internet giving my opinion. 1360 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,640 It is what it is, but ain't not that annoys me more than these 1361 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,960 people that come on this platform and come on Twitter and 1362 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:34,040 come on X whatever you want to call it and say this is the way 1363 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,480 the industry's moving. And then guess what? 1364 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,280 The industry moves. And it's like this industry will 1365 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,760 be saying shit on a Monday, changing that shit up on a 1366 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,400 Friday, and you're going to tell me with a straight fucking face 1367 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,560 that you keep you got a crystal ball in the back. 1368 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,160 I guess. Like it's just it's annoying 1369 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,920 because I never tell these people what they're saying is 1370 01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:57,440 wrong, but they have no, they have no problem pulling up of my 1371 01:13:57,440 --> 01:13:59,400 shit and saying you're wrong and everything you're saying. 1372 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:01,640 Like it's just like, dude, shut up. 1373 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,960 Especially when you, especially when I see some of these people 1374 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,480 be changing their perspective and the way they look at the 1375 01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:09,200 industry. The moment there's a tweet that 1376 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,040 goes out by Xbox like. Oh, I wonder. 1377 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,600 Who's like that? It's it's like I I was stabbed 1378 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:17,800 in the back. I was rock thrown at me. 1379 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,160 And now one time did I think exclusives weren't important? 1380 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,400 I said I just took back and be like look man I hope it works 1381 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,760 out and guess what?

Competition is healthy. 1426 01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:37,320 I think it I guess good and you know, like when this 1427 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,960 competition, there's just better games overall because you're 1428 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,120 trying to you're you're just trying to make a better game. 1429 01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:44,600 Thank you, Jane. So that does serve the art bed, 1430 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,360 as you say, right, absolutely. So like it's just like what 1431 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,960 addict said, like at a base level, giving people less 1432 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:54,120 options is quote anti consumer. But like for me, and I know Alex 1433 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:55,920 like, like will probably get pissed off at this, but it's 1434 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,200 like I, I am personally bored of always framing things that pro 1435 01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,960 consumer, anti consumer. Oh, you know, you know where 1436 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,040 they're talking from. That's just like 2012 YouTube 1437 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,400 talk when like, you know, Stephanie starting with what 1438 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,080 we're just, we're just saying that shit all the time and 1439 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,880 whatever like that. Like can we like grow up, 1440 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,360 graduate and like talk a little bit more broadly about like, 1441 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,240 like what is interesting about what about what? 1442 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,800 Why video games are different to market, why they're different to 1443 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,280 sell? Why? 1444 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,000 Like owning ATV to watch any show you want is different than 1445 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,360 owning a specific piece of hardware or platform. 1446 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:35,560 And for example, we keep talking about, well, everything is 1447 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,000 everywhere. You can get Instagram on your 1448 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,600 phone, but you know where you can't get on a Google phone? 1449 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:40,920 Siri. Right. 1450 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,680 You can't get that stuff. You can't get, you know, like 1451 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,600 Apple, but like, you can't get that stuff. 1452 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,440 There are exclusive features to the iPhone that people like. 1453 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:52,800 Absolutely. And it's it's, it's a banger. 1454 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:54,960 It's a banger product. I've, I've also have amazing 1455 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,040 cameras. They have and I, I love iPhone, 1456 01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,680 but I don't have an iPhone, but I recognise that fact. 1457 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,840 Streaming services are galore. You have Apple, you've got 1458 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,240 Paramount, you've got all this shit. 1459 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,840 They've got all these shows and I'm subscribed to all of them 1460 01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,160 because I don't want to fucking miss out. 1461 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,040 That's why I have no fucking savings because that's what it 1462 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:11,760 is. But I fucking love it because 1463 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,560 that's and what what happens these these streaming companies 1464 01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,440 just competing. Every other fucking arena has 1465 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,280 filled with competition. But for some reason we have to 1466 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,080 allow the third place loser in the space to dictate the 1467 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,360 narrative and say, hey, we're the outlier. 1468 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,720 We're in 3rd place and we think that we should be in a position 1469 01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,840 to dictate what means what what, what constitutes healthy gaming 1470 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:36,960 and competition. We'll still maintain it. 1471 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:41,680 You can't eject yourself out as a competitor and then say we 1472 01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,000 still maintain competition. It's I so so that's why I found 1473 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,880 I found it weird. I'm like Gene is saying this 1474 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,440 Gene, Gene understands the value of the art. 1475 01:18:49,440 --> 01:18:53,800 You, if anyone treats this spaces are this this arena's art 1476 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,200 form, it's you. So I'm like, why is Gene saying 1477 01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,760 that? I'm a massive Nintendo fanboy. 1478 01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:00,480 I have the fucking talking flower here. 1479 01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:03,840 Was I asleep? It's opening. 1480 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,200 That sounded really sexual. For a second, yeah. 1481 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:12,880 Yeah, it looks sexual, you know, but but I have to talk and fly 1482 01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,760 here. I'm a Nintendo fanboy and guess 1483 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,120 what Nintendo is oops, shit, shut up. 1484 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,800 Guess what? Nintendo is the most profitable 1485 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,240 gaming company, you know, and I think like, like a lot of 1486 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,120 PlayStation like like like like podcasters or whatever that you 1487 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,960 know what I'm talking about. I'd like to say like, oh, 1488 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,440 PlayStation is making the most pay. 1489 01:19:31,440 --> 01:19:32,880 Look at look at their market share. 1490 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,680 Look at you're counting revenue, you know, which is more 1491 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,360 profitable, which is making more money for the company to grow at 1492 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,680 scale at at a responsible level, right. 1493 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,960 And for me, like so like I've interviewed Phil Spencer many 1494 01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,840 times over the years, right. So this is what I've understood 1495 01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:55,520 about what the original, the older, the the now old Xbox 1496 01:19:55,840 --> 01:20:00,040 strategy was right where it's like Phil wanted to buy a Call 1497 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,640 of Duty, Phil wanted to buy Activision because he felt like 1498 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,640 in terms of. All the the great tech companies 1499 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,760 out there right now, Google, Meta, Facebook, Apple, right, 1500 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:18,360 they all have a foothold in some kind of interesting system or 1501 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,200 service that they offer. Amazon offers shopping, but they 1502 01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,680 also offer TV shows and Movies Now, right? 1503 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:28,000 And Google is search and the Meta is social, right? 1504 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,520 And now VR and no more the metaverse, but they try to do 1505 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:35,200 that. So Bill wanted Microsoft to be 1506 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,040 the tech giant in gaming space because he believed gaming is 1507 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,880 going to be and, and, and he believed, he correctly believed 1508 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,720 that gaming will be the entertainment medium of the 1509 01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,160 future, right? And I certainly believe that 1510 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,520 too, as somebody who loves video games and, and, and, and loves 1511 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:53,040 medium. But so I think that's what kind 1512 01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,200 of guided them that, that, that this belief that Microsoft can 1513 01:20:56,200 --> 01:21:00,600 be the gaming Titan in Silicon Valley, in the tech space. 1514 01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,800 And that didn't really happen because Nintendo is running 1515 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,320 rings around them with exclusives, right? 1516 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,840 And yeah, maybe, maybe a, a, a Tomodachi Life isn't, isn't 1517 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:12,360 selling well. But guess what? 1518 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,040 Nintendo can afford to put out a fucking game like Tomodachi 1519 01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,040 Life. They can afford to pay Tetsuya 1520 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,960 Takahashi millions of dollars to only sell $1.2 million of his 1521 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,240 beloved 0 Blade Chronicles trilogy because because they 1522 01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,960 they're making money elsewhere. Because they're making all this 1523 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:30,880 money off exclusives. Absolutely. 1524 01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,920 That's a brand. Identity so so it's yeah. 1525 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,360 And it's like, yeah, maybe they're not bringing in as much 1526 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,480 millions of dollars as PlayStation, but guess what? 1527 01:21:38,480 --> 01:21:40,000 Playstation's also losing more money. 1528 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,680 Hiroki Totoki literally fucking said that. 1529 01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,360 He said that we need to worry about our fucking profit 1530 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,480 margins. And for some reason people don't 1531 01:21:47,480 --> 01:21:49,760 understand that he's not it's not he's not talking about 1532 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,720 making money. He's talking about we're losing 1533 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,120 more money that we're make that that we want to make right now. 1534 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,800 So so that's what I'm saying, the agility, this whole broad 1535 01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,880 brush blunderbuss approach and we all want to be and Sony's 1536 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,840 shown this when the PS3 at the start of the PS3 Gen, we want to 1537 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,400 be the multimedia player. Remember Ken Kutaragi was saying 1538 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:09,160 that thing. Oh, we want to be every, 1539 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:11,600 everywhere. That fucking approach killed the 1540 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,880 Xbox One with this TVTVTV and we're still starting to see them 1541 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,520 play this meandering. Oh, we need to be on mobile, we 1542 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,480 need to be on global, bring more players in. 1543 01:22:19,480 --> 01:22:21,960 And she talks about it even in this blog that they're talking 1544 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:24,440 about, you know, player. We're competing for pill players 1545 01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:26,320 attention. People are on Instagram and 1546 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,320 stuff like that. But there's but that one company 1547 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,920 like you said, Nintendo that can fucking withstand and fucking 1548 01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,400 fail because it, it values exclusive. 1549 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:37,360 It's built its identity on offering exclusive creative 1550 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:41,000 games and it shows how fuck their revenues. 1551 01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:45,880 Their cost of development is nowhere near what fucking Sony 1552 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,720 and play Xboxes are in their AAA space and they're agile, they're 1553 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,720 small and they focus on the right thing. 1554 01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,280 So how much confidence do you have? 1555 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,000 Do you, do you read the Xbox Wire blog or maybe listen to me 1556 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,040 spit on the microphone and camera as I was going through 1557 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:02,680 it? How much more confidence do you 1558 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,800 have in Xbox going forward? What do you think this means for 1559 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:06,520 Xbox? Well. 1560 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,720 Here's the thing, Like I've always I always really, really 1561 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:14,440 dislike what Phil said on Kind of Funny when he said that if we 1562 01:23:14,440 --> 01:23:16,640 had the best games in the world, it wouldn't matter. 1563 01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,680 I think that is objectively just false and wrong. 1564 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,800 And I don't know, I have no idea why he said he's a smart guy and 1565 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:28,520 he he knows games. You know, that's why we were all 1566 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,440 like, Oh my God, what about office Gaber score? 1567 01:23:30,440 --> 01:23:33,800 Because Phil's neighbour and it's like he knows games. 1568 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,320 It was weird to for him to say like having great games doesn't 1569 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,920 really matter when it does completely. 1570 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:45,080 So my confidence will only be bolstered really. 1571 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,200 I've, I, I still don't really have a lot of confidence right 1572 01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:51,880 now, despite I know I'm not dressed like it right now, but 1573 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,720 I, I think that's actually a joke in the Mario movie. 1574 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:55,760 It's like I disagree despite what how I appear. 1575 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,120 I disagree despite how I appear. I would only be more confident 1576 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,640 if they release a really fucking good game. 1577 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,680 And to be fair, and I am Starfield's number one Glazer. 1578 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:11,360 I guess me and Paul Tassi are right, but it's like I'm I will 1579 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,160 go to record. Starfield is my favourite first 1580 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,120 party game in this console generation. 1581 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,520 Over editing Nintendo made over editing PlayStation made over go 1582 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:28,120 seyote over over Ratchet and clank over Donkey Kong bonanza. 1583 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,080 I start if it was my favourite game, I don't think it's the 1584 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,360 best game. That's my favourite game. 1585 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,600 It's the game I played the most played like 700 hours of it, 1586 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:38,240 right. So it's like, so it's like if 1587 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,080 they just ate a great Halo again, you know, like Halo 1588 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,440 Infinite I loved, but it's like it has like like like 10 1589 01:24:45,440 --> 01:24:50,080 different caveats to that. You know I hated Hell Blade too. 1590 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:51,840 I liked it. Oh yeah. 1591 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,120 I, I, I, I despised it. But for me, it's like everything 1592 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,240 like that that's wrong Games basically. 1593 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,480 I can see that point. For me, I understood it as a 1594 01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:03,000 padlock, a project where it's about mental illness. 1595 01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,600 They, they get a little bit of leeway there. 1596 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:08,560 I I was astounded at how they. Get too much leeway for that. 1597 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:09,920 I think they get too much leeway for that. 1598 01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:14,800 I I agree with you because other simply on the basis that their 1599 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,960 gameplay systems remarkably the same. 1600 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,960 I couldn't believe that that got greenlit other than the saving 1601 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,080 grace for me was the combat and the animations of that combat 1602 01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,600 and how smooth it ran. It didn't feel like an Xbox 1603 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:28,040 game. Now this is a PlayStation good 1604 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:29,400 game. With how much, how good the 1605 01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:32,000 mocap is, how the animations work, how seamless that was. 1606 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:33,200 I was really engrossed into that. 1607 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:35,960 What's your cat's name again? Jack. 1608 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,880 Jack how this is good to see Jack. 1609 01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,200 It's a gorgeous game. Like like while I was playing, I 1610 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:42,160 was like, dude, imagine that Eldering game that looked like 1611 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,160 this, you know, Oh my God, we're not going to get that for for 1612 01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,440 for years. I'll probably be be on 60 or 70 1613 01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:48,840 by the time a game like that that comes out. 1614 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,320 So. DLSS 5 we might help it. 1615 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,920 Yeah, yeah, maybe. But it's like it's like I am 1616 01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:59,240 looking at the future of visual graphics, but as as a game, like 1617 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,600 it was just bad. It would you do less things than 1618 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,240 Hopefully one. Hopefully One was a much better 1619 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,600 game than Hell Blade 2. I do help one was a better game 1620 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,080 but. That aside though, again, like 1621 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,120 to answer your question simply, it's like like like once they 1622 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,240 get a great game out that like people will love and I love to, 1623 01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,240 then I'll be like, fuck yeah, like like like, like Xbox is 1624 01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,840 back because it's the games that matter ultimately and you and 1625 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,280 need better quality control there. 1626 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:23,720 Absolutely. They do. 1627 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,920 I'm not to say that PlayStation doesn't have quality, good 1628 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:30,560 quality control, because look at the garbage marathon's good. 1629 01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:32,760 It's not for me. But it's like, but it's like 1630 01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,360 Encore was obviously a failure in the quality control. 1631 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,280 Yeah, because it's as much as people want to say, oh, Concord 1632 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,400 control. Well, that's like saying a book 1633 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,960 was readable. That's. 1634 01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,880 A good way to say it. That that, that the print, that 1635 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,360 you could read the print and the paper didn't fall apart. 1636 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:51,960 Every game should be fucking controllable. 1637 01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,600 Good. Every game had a baseline. 1638 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,920 So why are we giving Concorde credit for that? 1639 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,680 No, it was a terrible game and and that's it should have, it 1640 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:00,840 should have died a long time ago. 1641 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,800 So clearly PlayStation doesn't really have the best tastemakers 1642 01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:06,840 there too. But it's multiplexing. 1643 01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:10,080 Absolutely. When it comes to multiplayer for 1644 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:10,560 sure. Yeah. 1645 01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:16,040 So, you know, like I think Xbox just need to just get a hit out 1646 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,840 something, you know. I mean, this year it looks quite 1647 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:20,480 strong. I mean, Forza Horizon 6, a lot 1648 01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:22,880 of people decry that because it's a sequel. 1649 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:28,960 Fable Fable, Fable, Fable. Come on, Fable has to smash it. 1650 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,640 Fable looks like you all smash it. 1651 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:32,680 Come on man. This could be better than Peter 1652 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,600 Molly news games. This could be better than Peter 1653 01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,920 Molly news games. It looks amazing. 1654 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,200 I, I, I, I love the presentation they did on it. 1655 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,200 You know, I, I, I, I I that game, if that game is great, I 1656 01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,480 will have so much confidence in the Xbox. 1657 01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:46,240 I'll be like, well, I love Xbox right now. 1658 01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:49,000 I I so I just bought like a new fucking PC right here, right? 1659 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:53,840 Beast PC. Yeah, it's a nice 58 and like my 1660 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,040 whole PC setup right now is Xbox branded. 1661 01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,400 I have an Xbox Series X wallpaper and everything like 1662 01:27:58,400 --> 01:27:59,800 that. This is an Xbox right here. 1663 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,640 I uninstalled my Xbox Series X because this PC is now the Xbox 1664 01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:05,840 so all the Xbox are. Same here. 1665 01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,200 Yeah, yeah, I I still have my Xbox Series S installed to my TV 1666 01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:13,400 because you know what, Xbox Series consoles are really good 1667 01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:17,120 back compat machines, you know, so I got my Otogi, I got my ads 1668 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:21,480 rising on Xbox Series S. You know, the the you know, 1669 01:28:21,480 --> 01:28:25,080 gears two and three, of course, because, you know, Lord knows 1670 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:26,840 when that they will be ported anywhere else. 1671 01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:32,000 But yeah, it's fable as a hit and and and and it's great. 1672 01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:33,840 So that's why I'm like, dude, they're like, that's why. 1673 01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:37,600 Like I, I, I kind of joke, but it's like PlayStation players 1674 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,440 never play Fable. They don't know anything about 1675 01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:41,880 Fable. Why do they get Fable now right? 1676 01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,040 But I wonder how much that will sell on Fable. 1677 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,760 What's the what's the strategy about what other than they have 1678 01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:49,960 all that signal to me they didn't have much faith in the 1679 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:51,360 Xbox brand. All this. 1680 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,160 Now, in terms of the what she's saying, she's saying the right 1681 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:58,360 things, but I think she's backing it up by I mean, you 1682 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:02,680 can't by going so strongly, by saying all these things, by 1683 01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:06,520 doing some of this stuff. I you'd be you'd be sitting 1684 01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,240 well, not silly, but at the same time you have to put respect 1685 01:29:09,440 --> 01:29:11,880 like you wouldn't push this out. You wouldn't come out and say 1686 01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,400 players are frustrated to lead. That's your opening salvo play. 1687 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:17,520 Players are frustrated. She she does. 1688 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,000 She is so much more convincing to me than any of the the the 1689 01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,680 the previous. I mean, Phil Spencer was 1690 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:26,120 convincing at the start, but I feel like he's, you know, he 1691 01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:29,480 lost the battle to the suits and eventually his words didn't 1692 01:29:29,480 --> 01:29:31,480 really mean much. She's leading. 1693 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,880 Here's what I'll say about Asha 'cause I had my I, I have my 1694 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:37,920 doubts about it too. And you know, to be fair, you 1695 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,640 know, you can still be sceptical because it's still like you 1696 01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:44,760 said, 60 DS out nothing really Well on paper, yes, like they 1697 01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,680 they dropped the price. They shouldn't be heroes for it. 1698 01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:49,560 You just you just readjust the price kind of closer to back 1699 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,160 where it was right. But it is a smarter decision. 1700 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,840 But here's why I'll give Asha and and the Xbox team credit, 1701 01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,480 like really good credit. And to speak to what you said. 1702 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:02,040 The fact the speed in the speediness of these decisions 1703 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:07,800 is, is impressive for for these decisions that are so broad 1704 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:12,040 reaching to be to, to, to have the communications for it to, 1705 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:15,000 to, to create a press release for it to create that whole 1706 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,560 like, you know, that the Tina Tina and and Matt booty 1707 01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,040 interview and everyday at that. Like what that the 1708 01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:23,600 communications department is all fired up right now, like they 1709 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,440 and, and like, for a huge company like Microsoft to move 1710 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:33,000 that S on messaging and getting it out that quickly is 1711 01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:34,240 astounding. Actually. 1712 01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,760 Like I work at a big company too, not nearly as big as 1713 01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:40,400 Microsoft, but you know, like if you, if anyone who's familiar 1714 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:44,520 with government or larger companies, you're a lawyer, I 1715 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,440 guess. Like you, like, you know more 1716 01:30:46,440 --> 01:30:50,480 than most that the bureaucracies of paperwork and, and, and 1717 01:30:50,480 --> 01:30:55,720 approvals and that, and for, for, for, for all of this very 1718 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,760 consequential messaging to be approved that fast. 1719 01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:03,040 It does kind of speak to me how Xbox is actually kind of 1720 01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,840 blocking in right now honestly. Absolutely. 1721 01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:08,240 Like it does feel like that, that they're prepared for war. 1722 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,920 So that's why I'm like, fuck it, just go, go for it. 1723 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,920 I want to see you pull back all those announcements for Fable, 1724 01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:18,440 Force the six, pull it all back, all back. 1725 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,600 I know that's crazy. I know that's crazy. 1726 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:26,400 People will get so upset. Fuck them, you know, whatever, 1727 01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,120 you know, go crazy with it, you know? 1728 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:31,560 Yes, make Call of Duty completely console exclusive and 1729 01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,240 take it up, take it out, take it off the launcher. 1730 01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:35,080 Make put it only on the Xbox PC app. 1731 01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:36,520 And find the fucking regulations. 1732 01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:38,120 On the PlayStation. Don't even really set up 1733 01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:41,040 PlayStation anymore. Lose all that money, see what 1734 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,080 happens. My money's out of here. 1735 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:47,400 What Gina said is what I would the exact same thing I would do. 1736 01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:50,520 I would do the exact same thing and I would, I would convince 1737 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,440 Satya Nadella, just shut the fuck up, let me do it and it 1738 01:31:53,440 --> 01:31:55,720 will work. I absolutely love the fighting 1739 01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:57,280 spirit. You know for a fact that I'm 1740 01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,880 going to clip that bit because that's exactly what needs to be 1741 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:02,240 said. Oh God, people are going to get 1742 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:03,680 so mad. But but like, here's the thing 1743 01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,080 though. Like I grew up on the old 90s 1744 01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:06,800 style. I grew up on the old 90s style 1745 01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:10,960 of aggressive marketing, right? And look like, like, like Sony 1746 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:14,200 is only company that takes shots all the time. 1747 01:32:14,440 --> 01:32:19,360 Yeah, Microsoft, Nintendo just ignores everyone and, and just 1748 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:21,720 makes a lot of money, right. Yeah, but every time. 1749 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,840 So like Sony, remember when when Sega went up and says, hey, the 1750 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:28,560 Sega 7's gonna be 399 and and they did all their their spiel 1751 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,200 and then Sony went up and says 299 and just left, right. 1752 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:32,840 Absolutely. And it's like, Oh my gosh. 1753 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,160 Oh, that's so that's such a dog or whatever like that. 1754 01:32:36,440 --> 01:32:37,800 And then several years later shoe. 1755 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,920 Hey, does the whole like like this is how you treat games or 1756 01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,800 whatever? Oh my God, that's such a dog. 1757 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,400 And then Microsoft just sits back and just fucking let's that 1758 01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:46,160 happen. Sega. 1759 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:49,040 What did Sega do after that? They just fucking died, right? 1760 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:52,120 So where do you? Fucking learn from the other 1761 01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,160 people's mistakes. You're the spiritual. 1762 01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:56,120 Where is the blood? Where is the blood? 1763 01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:57,360 Where's the? Fighting spirit. 1764 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,320 I work in the Washington. I work in the Washington Post, 1765 01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:03,800 the New York Times that maybe the Washington Post is lucky 1766 01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:05,640 that I'm not in charge of the Washington Post marketing team 1767 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:08,520 because I would be fucking talking shit about the New York 1768 01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:12,240 Times every fucking day. I mean, look at how fucking ugly 1769 01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,480 their their people are. You're so much more handsome. 1770 01:33:14,480 --> 01:33:16,520 Like I would like to get that petty, you know? 1771 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,520 So that's why it's like, I would love if Asha is like, well, 1772 01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,200 here's a copy of Fable for PlayStation five. 1773 01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:26,200 We announced it and we were so excited for PlayStation owners 1774 01:33:26,440 --> 01:33:28,880 to experience it. So if you want if PlayStation 1775 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,400 One owner won't want to experience it on an Xbox and she 1776 01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:36,160 just sets it on fire. Oh my God, if she did, I would 1777 01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:39,200 rate her so much then thank you narrative as well, said Jean 1778 01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:43,600 Sharma needs to go even harder. Yes she does, She does. 1779 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:47,160 If I could get the blow torture and blow that freaking CD case 1780 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,440 up. But think about the messaging 1781 01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:51,200 that would send. Think about the reverberations 1782 01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,080 around the industry that this lady comes out and just does 1783 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,720 that. It would put Xbox on the map. 1784 01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,760 That renegade spirit she's talking about manifested itself 1785 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,800 in adverts and within the. I should talk about. 1786 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,920 That's fucking rebellious. You know burning shit, right? 1787 01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:08,760 That's more, that's more, that's anarchists. 1788 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:12,760 But we want that. We want to show that we're not. 1789 01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,080 You have to have to decouple from Microsoft. 1790 01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:18,040 Microsoft is a big fucking faceless corporation. 1791 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:21,640 It's just when it comes to branding, Xbox still because 1792 01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,640 it's gaming, like you said, it's different from movies and 1793 01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:25,880 everything else. It has it's own. 1794 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:30,160 It is the future of the medium. I mean, it completely dwarfs any 1795 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,480 other medium anyway. Movies, books, all of it. 1796 01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,040 But if you believe in that and they, they recognise it after 1797 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:39,800 chasing AI and then having a, you know, getting, tucking their 1798 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:42,520 Dicks between their legs and clocking back to, to the, to the 1799 01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:45,720 developers and saying we're sorry and we're trying to regain 1800 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:47,320 their confidence. They now come back and say, 1801 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:51,560 look, we recognise this is our only only entry in appreciable 1802 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,760 consumer space in a cultural space. 1803 01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:56,880 We need to take this seriously. And Asha Sharma's starting to 1804 01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:00,920 show that it's very early, but you know, it's some change from 1805 01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:05,360 that status quo from the same faceless, you know, AI generated 1806 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:06,960 fucking comments, which is ironic because she was a 1807 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,160 previous AI bod. She seems to have exhibit more 1808 01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:14,000 human drive. She remind she's like a female 1809 01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:18,120 James Allard, the guy who was pissing Bill Gates off. 1810 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,480 Oh yeah, yeah, And she reminds me of that. 1811 01:35:20,480 --> 01:35:25,200 And so I again early days. Let's fucking see that fucking 1812 01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,600 through. Oh, Hoggy ask a very good 1813 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:29,160 question.

Like, yeah, she, she may, she 1890 01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:13,600 may have been an executive, but in that space, you learn to move 1891 01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:16,280 things and break things quickly so you can, so you can keep 1892 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,080 moving, you know, and that's kind of like the, the old 1893 01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:21,960 Silicon Valley tech, the of the early 2000 tens that I really 1894 01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:26,320 miss, you know, and I'd like to see more of that spirit come out 1895 01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:32,520 of Microsoft again, too.

I've felt so, so whatever, you 1900 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:44,720 know. I felt like I was the lone 1901 01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:49,400 outlier there when I was talking about this stuff like an addict. 1902 01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:50,560 Addict just made a great point too. 1903 01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:53,840 Addict just made a a interesting thing that that I didn't. 1904 01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:55,560 I didn't even think about it until he said it. 1905 01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:59,480 But it's like to think about how it think about when it all 1906 01:39:59,480 --> 01:40:01,120 turned around. Is is when they all started 1907 01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,640 doing kumbaya shit, you know, Absolutely. 1908 01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,280 Yeah, it was Yeah, it was.

That's why I made the kumbaya 1913 01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:20,080 thing. I'm like, you have no 1914 01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,280 competitive spirit, you have no real and it doesn't show that 1915 01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,960 you have any faith in your own brand to stand on his legs. 1916 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:30,080 And now all that is changing.

Oh, it's so stingy. 1949 01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:04,480 Yeah, yeah, I only have 6 achievements and I played 170 1950 01:42:04,480 --> 01:42:07,360 hours on it, man, you know, fuck that. 1951 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,120 But I'm trying. So that's why it's like I played 1952 01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,000 178 hours on Steam with six achievements. 1953 01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,320 I I, I would rather invest my time in, in boosting my gamer 1954 01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:18,240 score and play it on Xbox. And you know, I love the Play 1955 01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:19,960 Anywhere programme. I know that it's it's hard to 1956 01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,200 do, but it's like that's why I chose the the Xbox version of 1957 01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:25,600 Queens and desert over the PlayStation because it's like in 1958 01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:29,280 terms of preservation, it's kind of better preserved on the PC 1959 01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:32,720 and the console now that as opposed to just on PlayStation 1960 01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:35,040 and the disc, the disc and PlayStation you still have to 1961 01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:37,120 make it download anyway. So it's like, well, fuck it. 1962 01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,400 I'd rather it sounds like the Xbox version is just a better 1963 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,920 version overall then in terms of preservation and just, you know, 1964 01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,640 being able to take my game anywhere, which is great. 1965 01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:47,960 Absolutely. For me, that's that's the thing. 1966 01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:49,560 I'm on PC and I'm on Steam, right? 1967 01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:54,280 And now when the the next Xbox Helix things comes out, it's 1968 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,040 going to be a very serious proposition for me to buy an 1969 01:42:57,040 --> 01:42:59,760 Xbox version of the game because I play anywhere because I want 1970 01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,120 to have that freedom to move things around seamlessly. 1971 01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,440 Xbox did it years ago when the saves got transferred over over 1972 01:43:05,440 --> 01:43:08,560 cloud PlayStation, I got boot up and I've lost my cloud saves 1973 01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:11,440 because I didn't have PS Plus stagnant there. 1974 01:43:11,440 --> 01:43:15,600 So it's this is that that that formula play anywhere. 1975 01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:17,120 All of that was all half warehouse. 1976 01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,720 Now you just focus on your fucking brand. 1977 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,680 Focus on your console and the PC, which is broad enough. 1978 01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:25,480 That's more than enough. If you execute your plan 1979 01:43:25,480 --> 01:43:29,840 properly, the Xbox console and the PC space should be more than 1980 01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:32,640 enough to keep it going. That's a lot more than the Sony. 1981 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:36,960 So you know, and I love fans, I've always enjoyed his takes on 1982 01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:39,040 his his appearances over the years too. 1983 01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:41,440 So shout out to you fans, but he's talking about time 1984 01:43:41,440 --> 01:43:43,520 exclusives too. And it's like, you know, it's 1985 01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:45,760 like, how does it, how is that really worked out for everybody 1986 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,800 really? You know, sometimes exclusives 1987 01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:51,960 from Nintendo, you know. Timed exclusives, that degree, 1988 01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,160 you know, you've got Dusk Bloods, I think that's a timed 1989 01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:56,160 exclusive, isn't it? Or is that do we know? 1990 01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:57,680 No, no, no. That that's published by 1991 01:43:57,680 --> 01:43:58,920 Nintendo. Oh right. 1992 01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,200 Fuck, so you're not. Even so, the Blood Board sequel 1993 01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,160 was relegated to the Nintendo machine. 1994 01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,920 Not even. Nintendo, Nintendo lock that 1995 01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:08,240 shit down there. You will not see this, that shit 1996 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,840 on PC. You you think Blood Board is the 1997 01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:13,880 PC port is bad. That's just I've never fucked 1998 01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:15,880 coming to PC unless it's emulated, which it probably will 1999 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,160 be, but you know, yeah, in 2 minutes, yeah, yeah. 2000 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:23,240 But look, I look again like I'm APC player now primarily 2001 01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:27,000 obviously I, I, I just spent, you know, the a couple $1000 on 2002 01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,120 this 5080 new machine.

The world itself is fucking 2035 01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,680 beautiful to live in this. The AI let it down, but the 2036 01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:11,200 world design is so fucking incredible and with parts 2037 01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,440 tracing it just becomes even more immersive, even more 2038 01:46:14,440 --> 01:46:15,560 incredible. Immersive. 2039 01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:19,400 Oh my God, it's it.

I was actually ducking like, 2044 01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:31,520 like it's like I was dumb. Like I'm in a fucking commercial 2045 01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:33,240 for the from the 90s about gamers. 2046 01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:34,800 Like I'm in a sitcom or something at that. 2047 01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:37,000 Like I really thought that shit was going to hit me. 2048 01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:38,800 That's crazy. Bro, I'm telling you. 2049 01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,240 I haven't, I haven't been gaming like this since I haven't game 2050 01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,440 like that since I was 16 or 15 or whatever. 2051 01:46:43,440 --> 01:46:46,760 It's it's so cool. So it's like, yeah, like, so 2052 01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,880 that's it's like whatever PlayStation 6 is going to do, 2053 01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:50,840 this is like, dude, I already got the PlayStation 6 right 2054 01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:54,160 here, baby. And it's sing too much Star 2055 01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:55,520 Wars, too much Star Wars isn't going to do it. 2056 01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:57,440 But again, that's why Sony's pulling back. 2057 01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,360 But like, you wanted to play you. 2058 01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:06,160 Did you enjoy Ghosta Sushima, the beautiful Ghosta Sushima, as 2059 01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:09,440 Shuhe Yoshila said?

And I respect that. 2062 01:47:14,440 --> 01:47:16,680 I respect that strategy. I think it works. 2063 01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:20,920 And I, I do respect PlayStation really going and safeguarding 2064 01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:23,360 their their audience because primarily it's been the 2065 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,440 PlayStation, the console guys that have been doing it. 2066 01:47:25,440 --> 01:47:28,080 And I think the sales have been quite anaemic for a multitude of 2067 01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:29,440 reasons. Obviously stored delays don't 2068 01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,000 stored releases don't necessarily help because they 2069 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:33,400 don't benefit from the marketing push. 2070 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:37,200 But you know, Gene, I'm going to clip that fucking PC little 2071 01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:39,440 cyberpunk thing and you gave him more people fucking. 2072 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:41,440 Well, can you just tell me what happened today? 2073 01:47:41,440 --> 01:47:44,000 This morning you I wake up and he said I'm fuck, fuck it. 2074 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,200 I don't give a shit anymore.

But you're in fucking New York, 2300 01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:22,000 right? Fuck that. 2301 01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:23,760 I'm in DC, OH. You're in DC, all right. 2302 01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:25,640 Fuck that. Yeah, which you don't need a car 2303 01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:27,760 here too. It's stupid because there's so 2304 01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:30,000 many motorcades like presidential motorcades in DC. 2305 01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:31,720 Like like driving is a nightmare here anyway. 2306 01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:34,080 You have so many motorcades in DC. 2307 01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:37,640 That's why. America's weird man, I swear to 2308 01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:38,520 God. America's weird. 2309 01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:40,960 But yeah, well, DC is especially weird because you're just 2310 01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,160 walking down the street just trying to go to just trying to 2311 01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:46,680 go to the drugstore to buy water or, you know, like soap or 2312 01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:48,480 whatever, right. That and like you can't cross 2313 01:57:48,480 --> 01:57:51,840 the street because like there's there's a line of Escalade 2314 01:57:52,080 --> 01:57:54,920 because the Prime Minister of so and so is here and you got to 2315 01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:57,400 wait until traffic goes by. That's kind of sick. 2316 01:57:57,400 --> 01:58:00,040 And another lie. You know, the only, the only 2317 01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,600 reason why it's, it's a little bit more quiet than the Obama 2318 01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:04,680 years or even the Biden years because Trump never leaves the 2319 01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:05,440 White House. So. 2320 01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:08,120 Like. He's he's always just home, you 2321 01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:10,160 know, tweeting. Yeah. 2322 01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:12,520 He's just always home eating and watching TV like that. 2323 01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:14,240 Like that's all he does. He never goes out. 2324 01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:17,240 So like, like, like we're never really interrupted by his 2325 01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:19,240 motorcade. But Oh my God, everyone. 2326 01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:22,120 Else everyone else is going on. That's crazy. 2327 01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,640 Not gonna lie, BAE. Ash's moves got me feeling 2328 01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:26,760 parasocials. The champagne supernova. 2329 01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:28,480 Can I just quickly address this one thing? 2330 01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:31,480 This whole parasocial business? I have been taking the piss a 2331 01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:34,960 little bit. I feel like Xbox has kind of 2332 01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:38,400 shot itself in the foot with some of gang up cosy and stuff 2333 01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:41,080 and it seems like they about to do the same thing. 2334 01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:45,360 Ashes sending the code postcards to you, but you graciously 2335 01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:47,240 binned. You've got the shirts and the 2336 01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,120 hats and stuff like that. How do you think that's going to 2337 01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:52,360 pan out for Xbox going forward? Do you think that's going to be 2338 01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:56,240 another thing that ages well and badly because Phil Spencer 2339 01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:59,800 receded away from the public eye in the last few years? 2340 01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:01,520 Do you think the same thing is going to happen? 2341 01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:09,560 Is I'm putting on my PR hat right now. 2342 01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:13,120 You know, if I was going to, if I was their PR advisor, I would 2343 01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:15,320 actually just say let's, let's just, let's just make some 2344 01:59:15,320 --> 01:59:21,440 decisions and not talk so much, you know, and, and a lot of game 2345 01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:24,160 companies are always working. Even Nintendo who doesn't say 2346 01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:27,120 Jack shit, they still have they still have a Nintendo creators 2347 01:59:27,120 --> 01:59:29,880 programme, which is notoriously difficult to to even state it, 2348 01:59:29,880 --> 01:59:33,720 But then let alone even get into PlayStation doesn't really have 2349 01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:40,800 anything like that. I think they have their own way 2350 01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:44,560 do bad. Yeah, I don't know. 2351 01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:51,440 I mean, it's like it was pretty cringe at first when Asha, it 2352 01:59:51,440 --> 01:59:53,680 was pretty cringe at first. But I didn't want to say 2353 01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:57,000 anything about Asha because she just got the job like 5 days 2354 01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:59,000 ago. Like, you know, and she's like, 2355 01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:00,760 she's clearly like a millennial like me. 2356 02:00:00,760 --> 02:00:04,560 So like millennials like me are, are very like cringey when we 2357 02:00:04,560 --> 02:00:08,880 post, you know, yeah, we still post like a 2012, 2013. 2358 02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:10,560 It's kind of what he was doing too. 2359 02:00:10,560 --> 02:00:12,720 And it's like it's not. That cringy. 2360 02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:15,040 And it's like, you know, yeah, it's like her gamer score isn't 2361 02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:17,000 that great, but it's like she's kind of being honest about it, 2362 02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:19,360 you know, She's like, yeah, I, I, I did like Halo. 2363 02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:20,760 I played the Halo finally, you know. 2364 02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:23,560 It's like, no, she was yeah, she was quite upfront about it. 2365 02:00:23,560 --> 02:00:25,920 And I, I like that as well. And yeah, yeah. 2366 02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:28,920 And and then I know, you know, execs don't necessarily need to 2367 02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:31,760 play the best execs haven't exactly necessarily been gamers, 2368 02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:34,320 have they? And the proof is starting to 2369 02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:38,120 show be in the pudding where she's seems to have a more for a 2370 02:00:38,120 --> 02:00:41,440 finger on the pulse with Xbox's needs, understand I think. 2371 02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:46,160 Do you think like her outside perspective, looking in has made 2372 02:00:46,160 --> 02:00:49,200 her a lot more capable in reacting and making the moves 2373 02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:52,280 that she's made? I think so, but it also seems 2374 02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:57,000 like she has Satya's real trust in a way that Phil doesn't, you 2375 02:00:57,000 --> 02:00:58,800 know? That's what it feels like. 2376 02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:00,400 You're right. That's what it feels. 2377 02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:04,560 Yeah, that's what feels like. Either that or maybe Phil was 2378 02:01:04,560 --> 02:01:07,880 sacrifice because maybe you know Phil, but it's like, but it's 2379 02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:11,000 like if Phil was sacrifice for the brand because he was too 2380 02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:14,200 toxic to be attached, then why is Matt booty still there right, 2381 02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:17,560 because Matt because a lot of people hate Matt booty. 2382 02:01:17,560 --> 02:01:20,600 I will say you know, like like I've I've had my own issues with 2383 02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:23,240 mad booty. Most most all due to the tango 2384 02:01:23,240 --> 02:01:25,560 game works closure. That's the only thing that I'm 2385 02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:28,720 really like salty at him about. Maybe it wasn't even his 2386 02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:31,480 decision, but he was the face of it right, yeah, exactly. 2387 02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:34,560 Now I'm kind of turning around. I'm like, what if Matt Booty was 2388 02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:37,280 actually the secret weapon that they've just been, like, not 2389 02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:39,920 using this whole time? Like you, you see those FTC 2390 02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:42,120 emails and he's fucking blood thirsty. 2391 02:01:42,120 --> 02:01:43,880 Yeah. We can outspend them out of 2392 02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:46,280 business and shit like. That that's what they need, 2393 02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:49,240 that's what. They need and. 2394 02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:53,160 It's like, what, what if you let him off the leash? 2395 02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:56,320 What if you what, what if you do let him outspend Sony, You know, 2396 02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:57,920 like cuz you, cuz you can, you can. 2397 02:01:58,240 --> 02:02:00,840 This is why I said like, This is why I said This is why I said 2398 02:02:00,840 --> 02:02:02,240 you can't put the genie back in the bottle. 2399 02:02:02,240 --> 02:02:05,840 I never really believed that because anyone can do anything 2400 02:02:06,200 --> 02:02:08,840 like anyone can do anything. You can do anything. 2401 02:02:08,840 --> 02:02:12,400 You can do whatever you want in life, you know, just laws and, 2402 02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:15,440 and, and matters that are protecting us from from doing 2403 02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:17,520 anything, right.

There with you I'm there with 2471 02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:17,800 you at the same time, you know I I respect it. 2472 02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:20,440 I thought this is going to be I I said this could be the game of 2473 02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:24,000 of the Gen contender and then it just I I look at I ended up 2474 02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:25,320 playing the game and I'd scale it back. 2475 02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,240 I said this is not because you fundamentally just fucked up the 2476 02:05:28,240 --> 02:05:31,520 most important thing about this game, which is space travel and 2477 02:05:31,520 --> 02:05:35,080 you relegated it to fucking menus and you can't you can't 2478 02:05:35,080 --> 02:05:36,840 have that win. I have so many arguments about 2479 02:05:36,840 --> 02:05:39,120 people like that who are massively defensive about this 2480 02:05:39,120 --> 02:05:39,680 game. I'm like. 2481 02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:43,040 I do, I do think the I do think the space travel was fucked up. 2482 02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:47,960 I, I think people like I, I hate whenever people compare it to 2483 02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:51,160 Mass Effect. Mass. 2484 02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:54,880 Effect Mass Effect is not space game guys. 2485 02:05:54,880 --> 02:05:56,920 There's no travelling there. I thought you could just like 2486 02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:58,920 put like Jack Palladium from planets. 2487 02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:00,160 There's no space. There's no space. 2488 02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:03,280 Mass Effect never was a space. Mass Effect 1 was the closest 2489 02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,280 thing and guess what they get? They got rid of all that shit 2490 02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:08,400 for the rest of the trilogy. It's just a third person hall 2491 02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:10,880 hallway shooter with some dialogue toys. 2492 02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:12,760 That's. It and a menu that. 2493 02:06:12,760 --> 02:06:15,120 Lets you feel like. Pro planets, which is not even a 2494 02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:15,640 planet. You could. 2495 02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:18,280 Speak, There are like a million things in Starfield you can do 2496 02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:19,720 that you can't fucking do in Mass Effect. 2497 02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:24,640 But oh, but but you get a girlfriend or whatever like that 2498 02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:27,440 and like the sex scene isn't as nice or whatever like that. 2499 02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:29,840 Well, can you hear what you're fucking saying? 2500 02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:32,720 Oh, the sex scene is nice in the game. 2501 02:06:33,040 --> 02:06:34,440 That's what you're complaining about. 2502 02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:37,760 And also people are like, oh, well, I can't talk to aliens. 2503 02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:42,680 And it's like Elite dangers is the most advanced Star Citizen 2504 02:06:42,680 --> 02:06:45,200 too, right? Elite Dangerous is probably like 2505 02:06:45,200 --> 02:06:47,280 the wires ranging space him out there. 2506 02:06:47,280 --> 02:06:49,880 Guess what? No fucking aliens in there too. 2507 02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:52,000 Well, actually there are aliens now. 2508 02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:54,520 They're called the forgot the name of them, but you get 2509 02:06:54,520 --> 02:06:55,640 interdicted. But they don't talk. 2510 02:06:55,640 --> 02:06:57,440 They don't talk back though. They're not like a society or 2511 02:06:57,440 --> 02:06:59,880 anything like that, you know? But I do think they were missing 2512 02:06:59,880 --> 02:07:00,480 a trick there. But they. 2513 02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:02,560 Aren't aliens a Star World? You shoot them, they don't talk 2514 02:07:02,560 --> 02:07:04,880 back either, you know? That's true, That's true. 2515 02:07:05,200 --> 02:07:06,920 But intelligent. People want it to be like Star 2516 02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:08,840 Trek or like or, or like fucking BioWare. 2517 02:07:08,840 --> 02:07:11,800 It was like, dude, Mass Effect was fucking 12 years ago. 2518 02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:13,800 And guess what? Mass Effect didn't even sell 2519 02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:15,720 that well. Go look at the Mass Effect 2520 02:07:15,720 --> 02:07:17,800 sales. If you really think Mass Effect 2521 02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:20,040 was that big of a deal, really go look at the Mass Effect sales 2522 02:07:20,040 --> 02:07:21,280 right now. It wasn't that big. 2523 02:07:21,280 --> 02:07:23,320 What do you mean didn't sell that much? 2524 02:07:23,800 --> 02:07:25,120 Didn't sell that much? Go look at it right now. 2525 02:07:25,120 --> 02:07:27,000 Go look it right now. Mass Effect. 2526 02:07:27,840 --> 02:07:29,280 See. You you think that they sold a 2527 02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:31,120 lot too see. I thought, I thought it was a 2528 02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:33,160 fucking. Was it how much they sell? 2529 02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:40,280 Not that much. 3.5 million. Yeah, Oh. 2530 02:07:41,520 --> 02:07:47,800 Nah, that's gonna be right. Yeah, come on. 07 million 2531 02:07:47,800 --> 02:07:52,040 copies. Yeah, guess what Resident Evil 9 2532 02:07:52,040 --> 02:07:53,760 made? Made almost as much in three 2533 02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:55,400 days or five or five days, right? 2534 02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:58,280 Crimson Desert just sold just as much in three. 2535 02:07:58,280 --> 02:08:02,880 Weeks 5 Original Master only sold sold 2 and Dromedon sold 5 2536 02:08:02,880 --> 02:08:06,160 as well. Oh but it was a different time 2537 02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:08,280 gene. The gaming wasn't that big. 2538 02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:10,200 It was 360 Gen. I thought those are good numbers 2539 02:08:10,200 --> 02:08:12,880 for the 360 Gen surely? I mean Final Fantasy? 2540 02:08:13,000 --> 02:08:14,200 Final Fantasy? Which one? 2541 02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:18,240 Final Fantasy 7 remit. One of them sold about 5 million 2542 02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:19,720 as well. I thought that that wasn't that 2543 02:08:19,720 --> 02:08:23,120 much final. That's not that much either. 2544 02:08:23,720 --> 02:08:26,960 Yeah, well, Final Final Fantasy 7 originally sold way more than 2545 02:08:26,960 --> 02:08:29,840 that on PlayStation One. Grant. 2546 02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:31,760 Theresa sold more than that. Yeah, that shit, man. 2547 02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,880 Fucking hell. Yeah, so people, people get it 2548 02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:36,880 in their heads on the go. Why aren't you like Mass Effect? 2549 02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:38,760 Mass Effect was huge. Mass Effect wasn't that big. 2550 02:08:39,480 --> 02:08:40,880 Guess what was bigger? Skyrim. 2551 02:08:41,160 --> 02:08:42,400 Guess what was bigger? Fallout. 2552 02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:45,840 Oh shit, no, it was a formula. So that's why I defend Bethesda. 2553 02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:47,960 There's nobody out there in the space making games like 2554 02:08:47,960 --> 02:08:50,400 Bethesda. I I hate that people are like, 2555 02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:51,960 Oh my God, Bethesda's so outdated. 2556 02:08:51,960 --> 02:08:53,640 It's like no one else is making games like them. 2557 02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:58,680 I will say though, Gene, I feel like the creation engine is 2558 02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:00,920 starting to show its age. I feel like. 2559 02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:04,520 Yeah, I mean. They they need I also think that 2560 02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:07,720 whole I like the bits like some bits I really like when you 2561 02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:10,720 leave a fucking body in the way it is a come back to that planet 2562 02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:12,440 10 days later and it's still there. 2563 02:09:12,440 --> 02:09:14,480 All the shit is there. I love that stuff. 2564 02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:18,280 But at the same time, I feel like that game engine needs to 2565 02:09:18,280 --> 02:09:21,120 evolve. And I really question whether I 2566 02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:25,000 know Elder Scrolls at the next Elder Scrolls game is going to 2567 02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:27,480 have a lot of people just fucking glazing over it just 2568 02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:30,760 because it's Elder Scrolls. But I question whether or not 2569 02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:35,080 they will make the necessary jump in their gameplay model 2570 02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:37,160 that I feel like it needs to evolve. 2571 02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:38,880 I feel like they're playing a bit too close. 2572 02:09:39,640 --> 02:09:41,360 I'll tell you why, Jane. Because when I play Starfield, 2573 02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:43,960 then I go to fucking Cyberpunk. I'm like fuck it I'll Cyberpunk 2574 02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:47,720 shits all over Starfield. Well, here's the thing, like 2575 02:09:47,800 --> 02:09:50,520 like that irritates me because it's like I like cyberpunk way 2576 02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:52,280 more than Starfield. Star Cyberpunk is like a top 10 2577 02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:55,000 game for me of all time, right, like just period, right, like 2578 02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:56,360 one of the best games of all time for me. 2579 02:09:57,120 --> 02:09:59,960 But it's like I I'm doing different things in Starfield 2580 02:09:59,960 --> 02:10:03,480 than I care to do in cyberpunk. You know, I think that they are 2581 02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:05,080 two fundamentally different games. 2582 02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:06,840 Obviously cyberpunk looks a lot better. 2583 02:10:07,240 --> 02:10:09,680 You know, our direction is better, but it's like I, I, I, 2584 02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:13,240 I'm, I, I'm, I have AI have a moon farm in Starfield. 2585 02:10:13,320 --> 02:10:15,040 You can't do that in Starfield, in Star Punk. 2586 02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:16,880 Yeah, that's true. That's true. 2587 02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:19,760 But but, but but your your point about engine, that goes back to 2588 02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:22,080 what I'm saying about fucking Crimson desert and their black 2589 02:10:22,080 --> 02:10:24,920 space engine. Whereas like that engine, you 2590 02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:26,640 know, I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about 2591 02:10:26,640 --> 02:10:29,840 engine or, or, or whatever, but whatever they got going on in 2592 02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:33,240 Pearl Abyss to be able to just be like, oh, the players want to 2593 02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:35,200 ride the legendary wolf. Oh, we should have thought about 2594 02:10:35,200 --> 02:10:36,800 that. OK, well let's take a few days 2595 02:10:37,040 --> 02:10:39,400 and let's do that. Versus the Creation Engine is 2596 02:10:39,400 --> 02:10:42,960 like, Oh well, we can't do anything without making Fallout 2597 02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:45,680 4 literally worse, which they do every single fucking. 2598 02:10:45,760 --> 02:10:47,880 Time. Every single time they update 2599 02:10:47,880 --> 02:10:50,360 Fallout 4, they they just make it worse. 2600 02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:53,120 And it's like, how are you? How are you updating the game to 2601 02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:55,160 make it better? And it's like there's more bugs. 2602 02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:57,840 You're breaking all the mods, you're breaking all the the, the 2603 02:10:57,840 --> 02:11:02,320 creation mods that that we have. And it's exhausting. 2604 02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:05,760 And it's like, but does I want to defend you like 99% of the 2605 02:11:05,760 --> 02:11:08,920 time, but you but but you got you got it. 2606 02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:11,560 You got to, you got to lock it and and and and keep it together 2607 02:11:11,560 --> 02:11:13,640 and, and I mean, I mean. Starfield. 2608 02:11:13,720 --> 02:11:16,920 Starfield was wasn't that buggy, I'll be honest with you. 2609 02:11:16,920 --> 02:11:18,040 It actually seemed. It wasn't. 2610 02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:19,800 It wasn't. It was quite decent even at 2611 02:11:19,800 --> 02:11:21,480 launch. I thought that would year's 2612 02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:24,280 delay or whatever it was actually really helped them as 2613 02:11:24,280 --> 02:11:26,520 that was Microsoft's doing. But that's all ready to. 2614 02:11:26,640 --> 02:11:28,160 I know, but then. But then look at how long it 2615 02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:30,480 took them to even implement an in game map versus. 2616 02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:34,160 You know, yeah, I get it. Cruising. 2617 02:11:34,160 --> 02:11:36,240 Desert. We want to give it praise and 2618 02:11:36,240 --> 02:11:38,120 they're. Like oh you have a phoenix now, 2619 02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:42,680 You can just get a phoenix now as of yesterday, you know bro. 2620 02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:46,920 Bro, let's be honest, yeah, Far East Asian developers are more 2621 02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:48,640 talented. I'm sorry, but they. 2622 02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:51,760 But but the vast. Majority of them, are they? 2623 02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:54,200 Don't give a shit about crunch like like like we in the West do 2624 02:11:54,280 --> 02:11:59,160 you know, crunch, crunch, crunch as a concept is not like an 2625 02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:01,960 issue other than like if you die like at work or whatever. 2626 02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:04,160 That right? If you die, as long as you don't 2627 02:12:04,160 --> 02:12:07,560 die. It's like Koreans, Koreans at 2628 02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:09,200 school, like, like we don't get Saturday. 2629 02:12:09,200 --> 02:12:11,640 We don't get weekends off at school in Korea. 2630 02:12:11,680 --> 02:12:13,600 You know, like I didn't go to school in Korea, but Korean 2631 02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:15,640 students don't get weekends off. You get Sunday off. 2632 02:12:15,640 --> 02:12:17,040 That's it. Bro, I was watching your 2633 02:12:17,040 --> 02:12:19,880 documentary in Korean, fucking studied bro. 2634 02:12:19,880 --> 02:12:23,920 It is oppressive as fuck. It is so competitive and you 2635 02:12:23,920 --> 02:12:25,920 don't have a life. I was watching your documentary 2636 02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:28,040 and how fucking do it depressed. A lot of the kids work because 2637 02:12:28,040 --> 02:12:30,360 it's so competitive. You don't get any free times. 2638 02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:32,960 And I felt sorry for that. And I'm Asian as well, but not 2639 02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:34,240 Far East Asian. I'm still Asian. 2640 02:12:34,240 --> 02:12:37,000 I had strict parents and fucking they're just like bloody get 2641 02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:38,040 your fucking grades.

And I love the fact that she'd 2656 02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:17,160 say it's very candid of her and I think it's fucking. 2657 02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:19,960 I think it's a it's a breath of fresh air. 2658 02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:22,320 Obviously it's very early days.

The whole publication and 2757 02:17:46,400 --> 02:17:49,680 they're like next to Trump, Iran, blah, blah, blah. 2758 02:17:49,680 --> 02:17:53,040 And they're like look, look at jeans review of Silent Hill F 2759 02:17:53,040 --> 02:17:55,959 which I which I wrote a month and a half later. 2760 02:17:56,480 --> 02:17:58,360 But they're like look at how many subscriptions he got. 2761 02:17:58,360 --> 02:18:01,760 Look at how many readers he got. So it's like, that's why I was 2762 02:18:01,760 --> 02:18:04,080 like, you know what, Like I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna review 2763 02:18:04,080 --> 02:18:06,440 Crimson Desert on embargo day. Fuck that. 2764 02:18:06,440 --> 02:18:07,840 You know, like this game is massive. 2765 02:18:07,840 --> 02:18:09,080 This game is 300 hours. Absolutely. 2766 02:18:09,320 --> 02:18:13,040 And I, and if I, if I did review on the 10 hours or so that I did 2767 02:18:13,040 --> 02:18:14,680 play it on, it would have been a bad review. 2768 02:18:14,680 --> 02:18:16,760 Yeah, I would have, I would have because I didn't like the game 2769 02:18:16,760 --> 02:18:18,680 that much at first. I thought it was a cool game, 2770 02:18:18,799 --> 02:18:20,799 you know, I. Saw your PD has changed quite a 2771 02:18:20,799 --> 02:18:23,920 bit on on some I love. The game now I, I, I think, I 2772 02:18:23,920 --> 02:18:27,400 think, I think like, like I think Elden Ring is a better 2773 02:18:27,400 --> 02:18:29,799 game. To be clear, Elden Ring is a 2774 02:18:29,799 --> 02:18:32,520 better game. It's a better design game. 2775 02:18:32,520 --> 02:18:35,120 It is peerless in terms of dungeon design. 2776 02:18:35,440 --> 02:18:38,520 The boss encounters are amazing, I love the characters and the 2777 02:18:38,520 --> 02:18:40,320 flexibility of the of the combat. 2778 02:18:40,719 --> 02:18:43,799 I like Crimson Desert better. Damn I'm. 2779 02:18:45,240 --> 02:18:47,719 Having more fun with Crimson Desert so. 2780 02:18:48,480 --> 02:18:50,200 Fonts. Stupid ass story. 2781 02:18:50,799 --> 02:18:52,160 Yeah, the story is supposed to be ass. 2782 02:18:52,320 --> 02:18:54,879 But but that's it just goes to show I I don't really care about 2783 02:18:54,879 --> 02:18:57,120 story that much in games, man, because you know what the story 2784 02:18:57,120 --> 02:18:59,959 that you play that that you make when you claim that's the that's 2785 02:18:59,959 --> 02:19:02,160 the important story. If the game gives you whatever 2786 02:19:02,160 --> 02:19:03,520 story. You're telling you yes, Yes. 2787 02:19:03,520 --> 02:19:07,080 If the game gives you that those that that agency, then it can 2788 02:19:07,080 --> 02:19:09,879 make up for any shitty story. If it doesn't have that agency, 2789 02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:11,719 then obviously you're going to be in the firing line. 2790 02:19:12,520 --> 02:19:15,120 But that's yeah, that's why I mean, like the star feel like 2791 02:19:15,120 --> 02:19:16,320 the story isn't that great, right? 2792 02:19:16,320 --> 02:19:18,440 Like like I, I, I the story was OK. 2793 02:19:18,559 --> 02:19:19,320 Right. That's right. 2794 02:19:19,840 --> 02:19:22,200 But it's like I feel like I can make better stories on my own, 2795 02:19:22,200 --> 02:19:23,879 and I do. And that's why that's why I have 2796 02:19:23,879 --> 02:19:25,280 a lot of fun. And I think that's that. 2797 02:19:25,280 --> 02:19:29,400 That's a bridge, that's a a gap that like some people can't 2798 02:19:29,400 --> 02:19:32,600 make, you know, like like they they need to story fed to them. 2799 02:19:32,600 --> 02:19:34,559 And I'm not saying that that they're like, you know, like 2800 02:19:34,559 --> 02:19:36,879 lesser than or whatever. It's just their their brain 2801 02:19:36,879 --> 02:19:39,400 works differently or whatever, you know, or they can't they're 2802 02:19:39,400 --> 02:19:42,440 they're not really like self starters in terms of in terms of 2803 02:19:42,480 --> 02:19:44,959 in games, you know, they they need they need to start for 2804 02:19:44,959 --> 02:19:47,200 that. But yeah, if you. 2805 02:19:47,200 --> 02:19:50,160 Have a vivid imagination that your best stories are in your 2806 02:19:50,160 --> 02:19:51,520 head. And if you've tried DMT. 2807 02:19:51,520 --> 02:19:52,920 Exactly, exactly. That's me. 2808 02:19:52,920 --> 02:19:56,280 So yeah, look forward to my Crimson Desert review will come 2809 02:19:56,280 --> 02:19:57,960 in hopefully next week, maybe in the week after. 2810 02:19:57,960 --> 02:20:01,360 I also have another piece that I've been, I've been writing. 2811 02:20:01,360 --> 02:20:03,240 It's one of my longest pieces ever. 2812 02:20:03,240 --> 02:20:05,680 It's about Is video game writing bad? 2813 02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:08,320 Yes. Yeah. 2814 02:20:08,560 --> 02:20:11,800 It's a straightforward yes. But it's like, why is it bad 2815 02:20:11,800 --> 02:20:13,600 though? So I actually talked to a bunch 2816 02:20:13,600 --> 02:20:18,120 of video game writers and directors, including one who is 2817 02:20:18,120 --> 02:20:22,720 very famous, and talk a little bit about what makes video game 2818 02:20:22,720 --> 02:20:27,320 writing different from TV or books or film or anything so. 2819 02:20:27,520 --> 02:20:29,320 They're gonna feature in that piece as well. 2820 02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:31,040 They're gonna feature in that piece, too. 2821 02:20:31,120 --> 02:20:33,280 Yeah. So I talked to four different 2822 02:20:33,480 --> 02:20:36,280 video game writers and they're all quite prominent. 2823 02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:39,840 One of them is like really, really prominent, but but I'll 2824 02:20:39,840 --> 02:20:42,640 save that as his price. You've got some interesting news 2825 02:20:42,640 --> 02:20:45,520 to break too, so. Wow, that's a that's a very 2826 02:20:45,520 --> 02:20:46,760 interesting. You know, that's actually a 2827 02:20:46,760 --> 02:20:49,520 really good like the kind of topic I'll make a video on. 2828 02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:51,640 I have my own opinion on why it's it's bad. 2829 02:20:51,640 --> 02:20:54,960 I think it's seen that medium is sometimes seen as like a toy or 2830 02:20:54,960 --> 02:20:57,200 like an extent, not not as mature and people that the 2831 02:20:57,200 --> 02:21:00,720 writers are hired who don't maybe necessarily give it the 2832 02:21:00,720 --> 02:21:02,160 credence that it deserves better. 2833 02:21:02,600 --> 02:21:03,520 Seriously. Whatever. 2834 02:21:03,520 --> 02:21:04,280 Yeah. Yeah. 2835 02:21:04,360 --> 02:21:06,600 Sure, but oh, I'm looking forward to your pieces, man. 2836 02:21:06,600 --> 02:21:08,920 I'm subscribed to Washington Post and let's see the let's see 2837 02:21:08,920 --> 02:21:11,400 the dank memes.
