I love how, since the last episode, Matt has gone from complete pushover to putting PlayStation and Xbox in their place. He’s mirroring the anger gamers are feeling towards AAA publishers lately and I’m here for it. GO MATT!!!!
OMG, this was both unhinged and hilarious. How did Jes/XBox keep it together in that first half. Please throw some of those outtakes on YT sometime again!!!!!
Damn I love how relevant this is, great job guys! Matt you did a great job conveying the frustration it is to be a passionate gamer right now 😅 Everybody else was evil and I hated them so BRILLIANT acting lmaoo
The buying of studios reminds me of the GAME retail store in how they could not beat their competitor called Gamestation so they bought them to take over, completely screw the brand up then closed them down
The funny thing is that the person who nuked his camp did not do it as retaliation it just lined up that way, he did nuke Phills camp on purposes but it was more the player was in post/end game play and was doing it for fun
pretty much accurate. Only Microsoft is a TRILLION dollar corporation. THREE TRILLION actually. not a billion dollar one.. big difference. they didn't have to shut down anything... not until at least they gave those companies the ability to finish what they were working on.
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't revise that line. Microsoft has been a trillion dollar company since 2019 and literally just hit 3 trillion. Microsoft keeps making ridiculous money, which is why the gaming division for them is peanuts. They can buy up both Nintendo and Sony if they really wanted too, which is why it's kinda absurd when people say they might get out of the console business. They have so much money that they can handle any loss that votes their way. That $70 billion for Activsion was pennies, which is why they are building a whole new studio to rival Naughty Dog, Insomniac etc
I can try to understand why they took down Arkane Austin but taking down Tango Gameworks was a really shitty move. That studio produced such a great games, and also gave Xbox a great 1st party game that won multiple awards and has been and still is highly popular upon the gamers. What made me truly upset about that was that they planned to make a sequel to that awesome game and then these fuckers nuked them >:(
That game got awards but didn't get big sales. Xbox only cares how much money it won for them. The problem is Game Pass though. A game like that isn't a big name that everyone wants to play. It wouldn't have great engagement on Game Pass or bring more subscribers. I bet you even people that liked the game might wasted more time trying to built ships on Starfield than playing it even though they might feel Starfield is a worse game. Now if you could only get it by buying it, it might have made some people buy it since it had good reviews but when is just easily accessible on Game Pass then it brings very little subscriptions or engagement. So Game Pass is really killing such games.
Probably because they pushed out Shinji Mikami, to the point where after Hi Fi Rush was done, he left the company to make his own company. Wouldn't be surprised if Phil got upset at that and just decided to axe the company
Guys guys guys, this was one of the funniest skits you’ve done since the PC skit lol I love when you guys lean into the meta commentary and you’ve got a tun to work with these days. as an OG gamer with time on his hands you really hit the nail on the head. Please keep it going!! Xbox is the best thing to happen to this channel in a while ❤❤❤❤
Nice work! I would like to imagine what "Phil Spencer" would sound like if he had Elton John's voice; he totally looked like him here. Also, while the '76 part is witty, the real story is that the real bomber did it for fun, and not for vengeance...allegedly. Hopefully Microsoft will learn QUICK how they should take care of their babies and the parents that made them. Relinquishing Xbox and letting it be an independent console maker may be a great move in the future if it continues to be seen that Microsoft has lost the way of what made the platform great, especially during the 360 era.
WHY?!? The guy playing Phile Spencer sounds *SO* much like Chuck, the Evil Sandwich Making Guy from the animated series Word Girl. That was a hit of nostalgia. 🤣😂
They kind of have to though. Sony is doing nothing and has no announcements so "no news is good news" while MS are trying to stay quiet about their good stuff until not e3 but are also still doing the bad stuff. So PlayStation has nothing good and nothing bad so there's nothing to see. Microsoft has nothing good but they do have bad stuff so unless you want to talk about another quarter of Nintendo quietly releasing more good but not great games and just printing money, is all you can talk about in the console space. It feels like that's the last 2 generations. Sony and Microsoft fighting each other while Nintendo whistles in the corner, flying low enough under the radar to not get heat but releasing high enough quality to keep printing money hand over fist. And she pretends to be so sweet...
@@ViridianFlow PlayStation does have good stuff though. They've been having some decent games such as Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth, and maybe something else I'm not thinking of. And they do bad things as well. Let's not forget the Hell Divers 2 region locking... but in comparison to what Microsoft is doing, that's small... well medium, potatoes. People are upset at Sony because people want to PLAY their games. Microsoft barely has anything to play period and seem to be destroying the companies making the games people WOULD be wanting to play. Meanwhile, Nintendo just makes fun stuff. Who cares if it's not 4K, it's enjoyable and you don't need to be online and you can play it anywhere.
Funny how this episode came out right before they finally announce Black Ops 6 was coming to Gamepass day one. The episode that comes after the June showcase is gonna be lit
This really summed up Microsoft's business model in a nutshell: they have so much unlimited F you money that they can literally buy and sell whoever they want no matter who's negatively affected 🤣🤣🤣🤣. imagine if the real daddy Phil saw this video 👀👀👀👀💀💀💀💀... yikes 😬😬😬😬
PlayStation closes London Studio, one of their oldest studios ever with some of the coolest games in the PS2 gen, Xbox closes 4 studios in one day immediately after spending $80+ BILLION with a capital B, releases that stupid controller tagline “feel the burn” and to further add to that burn announces that Activision is opening a new studio. Gaming is cooked right now 😭 but at least we got Matty, and the Console Gals to keep us entertained for years to come…..no chance of them being acquired by Bill Bencer…..right……RIGHT?!? 😏
Hell yeah!! Been waiting for this!! GOOD JOB!! I could see much thought put into this video. I'm glad you guys showed no mercy to Microsoft. They need to see how much damage their bad decisions have caused.😁😎✌️❤️
Lol this is such a creepy vid, but it's funny, guess ppl forget that those studios weren't financially doing it at the time, Tango games sadly wasn't the same studio after the studio had left.
Well done for pointing out the situation guys. Uncle Phil made a huge mistake and even made PS boys / girls angry with such maleficent schemes . Keep up the good work guys, you are awesome. ❤
3:14 I will preface this with "I love Phil Spencer"... But he DOESN'T have a board room to answer to, that's why it was such a big deal when Phil was promoted to "Executive Vice President of Gaming" at Microsoft, the ONLY person he actually is held responsible to is Satya Nadella. And after all the talk of Xbox investing into the Japanese market, he closes his best Japanese studio. Total BS.
It is pretty simple really: 1. Buy up small, successful developers while they are small and inexpensive. 2. Make back whatever money they cost you as quickly as possible. 3. Disband the developer who (due to non-compete clauses) are effectively out of the industry for good. 4. Nobody can ever rise to the level of Microsoft to compete with them. It is effectively a monopoly through acquisition/destruction rather than oppression. Still technically illegal, but anti-trust laws haven't really been enforced for decades. The only good news is that unless the FTC decision gets overturned by the Supreme Court, non-competes are officially illegal in most industries on August 21, 2024.
What game would you be most PISSED off about if it got thrown into the void? ⬇⬇⬇
Zelda!
@@mattygron OF COURSE
The transformers games, mainly fall of Cybertron.🤖
gta6... which is supposed to come out of the void
Portal or Bioshock
I love how, since the last episode, Matt has gone from complete pushover to putting PlayStation and Xbox in their place. He’s mirroring the anger gamers are feeling towards AAA publishers lately and I’m here for it. GO MATT!!!!
Jess went full dark lord on this one, outstanding.
🤣🤣🤣
Gamey - Jess just kicked the entire Evil Within franchise out the door.
(by the look of the Laura doll hehe.)
I kinda enjoy gamie kicks ahd flying.
There's NO way Phil has a bigger nuke than me!!!!
🔥
Phill would just acquire a bigger nuke and still not use it. He’s got no chance.
@@Linklex7 😂😂😂
"i like your smaller nuke" - what she said
it has never been about the size of the making tool its about the outcome not acting like a fool
Jess needs her own show. As xbox girl popping into random gamers lives. Then leaves
🤣🤣🤣
This is how i get my gaming news now
Yahoo!
@3:53, "Because I like to spend money, okay? It's fun". Best....line...ever....delivered, especially with the facial expression. Everyone can relate.
As a Trillion dollar corporation we can not afford your salaries which dont even show up on our excel spreadsheet unless you scroll down 10000 lines.
Phil vs. Couch Guy - most epic duel ever! 😆🤣
Hell yeah!
Don't cross the streams! 🫢
Couch Guy raking Phil Spencer over the coals gives me life.
Hahahaha!
OMG, this was both unhinged and hilarious. How did Jes/XBox keep it together in that first half. Please throw some of those outtakes on YT sometime again!!!!!
Everything Xbox Girl said was probably said in the investors call.
Damn I love how relevant this is, great job guys! Matt you did a great job conveying the frustration it is to be a passionate gamer right now 😅 Everybody else was evil and I hated them so BRILLIANT acting lmaoo
Thanks so much, glad you liked this one!
Honestly; fuck Xbox for killing tango gameworks
Yeah 😏fuck Xbox.
Now we will never get The Evil Within 3 😭😭😭😭
Dude I’m not even sure the 2nd one sold even 1M copies so it’s not sustainable for a studio to make games that people don’t play
First was great though.
The buying of studios reminds me of the GAME retail store in how they could not beat their competitor called Gamestation so they bought them to take over, completely screw the brand up then closed them down

1:13 Things get.. dark. Dark? That was black hole level. That poor baby.
Crazy ENDING but deserved. Well done guys, you guys are AWESOME ;)
Hahahaha!
Why does Phil Spencer and xboxgirl remind me of Henry Salt and Veronica salt. Look what happened to them. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
These studio shutdowns gave me different feelings of what Xbox actually is..
A unreliable company saying one thing and doing the total opposite.
pretty much accurate. Only Microsoft is a TRILLION dollar corporation. THREE TRILLION actually. not a billion dollar one.. big difference. they didn't have to shut down anything... not until at least they gave those companies the ability to finish what they were working on.
Yes they do, how else they gonna increase their profit by 0.1% ? Are you crazy ?
Bless you guys for making a video on this! Was hoping for that!
Awesome, glad you liked it!
1:48 You missed your opportunity to say ""Trillion" Dollar Corporation".
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't revise that line. Microsoft has been a trillion dollar company since 2019 and literally just hit 3 trillion.
Microsoft keeps making ridiculous money, which is why the gaming division for them is peanuts. They can buy up both Nintendo and Sony if they really wanted too, which is why it's kinda absurd when people say they might get out of the console business.

If only you could summon Phil instantly on demand...

She completely nails that corporate "you stupid gamers" tone. I'm also playing 76 while watching this. 😅
Daddy Phil went full savage bringing Hook into the fight. You know he's gonna pull a "you just got Rufio'd" after couch guys settlement gets nuked.

Just recently subbed to the channel due to always seeing these on Facebook. These folks know amazing comedic timing with current gaming news.😂
Amazing, thanks so much for subbing - much appreciated! :)))

I loved when couch guy was like "I have. Integrity and can't be bought... That's a lot of zeros, I'm officially bought😂"
He caved real quick
Yeah you guys should now make a skit where couch guy is under the control of Phil Spencer that'd be funny to see or something in those lines
😂😂😂
idk why they don’t just put the workers in these studios into other areas of xbox
You could be on to something with the bikes-that-are-so-soft thing 😁
Another fantastic video, with plenty of lines that were pure gold.
Thank You as always to everyone involved.
Thank you so much!
I’m not gonna lie I almost fell off my futon laughing at the nuke talk and ending 😂😂
Was wondering when this video would come out.
Hope you liked it!

Yoooo I love the Phil Spencer he always makes me laugh so much. Shoutout to him for making an appearance 😂

Jesse does, psycho avatar of a gaming machine and company to an exceptional level.
This was an amazing allegory and commentary for games acquisition. Plus the quotes, just wow!

@ViRiXDreamcore ps has 3 ganes so far and xbox has 2 for this half of the year. But xbox has alot more in the 2nd half compared to ps
xbox was always the villian. its never meant to be a game console, just a gateway into your living room and a way to cockblock Sony Hardware.
"This baby gotta go..." 😅😅😅

Couch Guy: the hero we didn't know we needed... GG dude. I swear Xbox is low key evil, you can't tell me otherwise.

You mentioned how Xbox is a billion dollar company, is that implying that Xbox is separate from Microsoft, which is a multi-trillion dollar company?
Couch Guy was spitting hard facts! It's nice to see him stand up for himself against Xbox Girls tyranny.
Lmfaoooo love how you brought the nuke phil 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Wait a minute.. Was Phil Spencer supposed to be Bill Gates there? Hehe, you boys and girls are funny 😀
Bring back Bill Bencer he seems like a nice guy
