Xboxは昨年に引き続き東京ゲームショウに合わせて「Xbox Digital Broadcast」を配信した。XboxのボスであるMicrosoft Gaming CEOのフィル・スペンサー氏も来日し、Xboxコミュニティやパブリッシングパートナーと相次いで面会。一般公開日初日の23日には会場にも直接足を運び、日本のゲームファンとの交流を愉しんだ。ビジネスデイではなく、わざわざ一般公開日に訪れるのは、スペンサー氏がゲームファンと直接触れ合いたいからで、トラブルがないように対応するスタッフは大変だろうが、コミュニティを最も重視するスペンサー氏らしいこだわりだ。
Oh, I don’t know about that. He’s got this fascade of I’m just like you, but then goes and acts exactly like every other Microsoft exec from the past 30 years. I know you’ll want to compare him to Don Mattrick to excuse that. Oh, he’s a good guy… in comparison. Nope.
He is actively seeking to damage the industry as a whole to further his career ambitions inside Microsoft and to make Microsoft crazy money in 20 years. He’s a bully in the industry, and just like every other big tech disruption from the past decade and a half, from Uber to netflix, none of it is in favor of the consumer
This guy is that one puzzle guy where everything they say is a lie
I understand the reflexive hate for tech executives, but you can do a lot worse than Phil Spencer.

Currently? Not really, not one thing he has said has head of Xbox has turned out to be true.
He seems nice and is probably a gamer. But if Microsoft doesn’t profit enough on games I believe all the niceness will quickly disappear.
