Trusting Sarah Bond with video games is like trusting the fox to guard the henhouse.
I dont know anything about her resume
@@julienmelnick She worked at T-Mobile before joining Xbox. She sells scrips and services, not games.
@@julienmelnick I do. She worked at T-Mobile before joining Xbox.
She has a background in fashion. That's why her outfits are so nice. Msoft never was an actual gaming company so it makes since they hire ppl who know nothing about the gaming industry. Msoft is a talentless, inhumane company.
Wi-Fi rush didnt have enough microtransactions and wasn't live service.
It was a trash game. That's why it wasn't released when it was done by Bethesda. Msoft had them release that garbage. Similar to that goofy Bleeding Azz game Ninja Theory knew would never do well.
@@east00 pony lol jk but people did like the game it didnt do as well as xbox wanted that is all
no the reason was the game didnt do as well as xbox wanted they see the numbers like playtime and who is finishing the game or not and who is sharing clips and stuff and everything else
The problem with these companies is that they want line to forever go up. Must make profits year over end. Profiting isn't just enough. It has to be more than the year before even if they didn't lose any money that year. This is big companies just being greedy. They always need more.
💯
This is capitalism….for good, or for bad… but if you’re not growing, you’re falling behind. Thats why corporations thrive in this environment, and small businesses struggle.
2 notes, 1st, you can tell what questions made Sarah Bond really nervous because she blinks really fast during the answer
2nd, why do we have so many bad journalist who let people dodge the questions and never really answer them, you can say "that's interesting but didn't answer the question, please answer the question"
Face it. Game streaming and loot boxes is where we’re headed whether we like it or not. I hate it. Retro forever for me dawg
loot boxes are incredible
I know the eu is getting loot boxes band since it’s gambling for kids I think government needs to get more involved when it comes to technology. The eu has already done amazing things, including forcing Apple to be more consumer friendly. I understand the government is filled with older people who may not fully understand the internet as a whole but games being focused on addiction strategies and manipulation of the players to spend their money, I think that’s when government needs to step in and say no. Microtransactions, and loot boxes will never make a game good. If companies need to be forced to make money by making a good game and not finding the best way to drain your wallet after you’ve bought into the game
I am certainly going back to that more
They shouldn’t have hired her in the first place she lack emotion, warmt and talk robotic-like.
emotion would make it worse people would call her crocadile tears and trying to gain sympathy point
29:48 Steam already does this and has been doing this for years. There is even a slider you can move around to give you suggestions of more or less niche titles. It actually works pretty well.
if steam does it does it mean no one should wow i think it is good to use old ideas to innovate and there might be more things that xbox has in mind this is only a pitch not a highly detailed breakdown of the plans
@@johnydomestudios I wasn't saying they couldn't or shouldn't use it. Merely pointing out that it is something that is already done on Steam. Julien seems to think its a bad idea. It is something that can be a useful tool.
@@johnydomestudios I never meant that Xbox couldn't do it. Julien is making it out to be some terrible thing that Xbox is doing something similar. I am pointing out that it has been done before and actually works pretty well.
The statement the triggered me was the announcement of mobile playstore so we can play candy crush. They shutdown those studios just to focus on that🤦♂️
not just to focus on that. you are trying to connect reasons that dont exist lol they shut down them because they werent bringing in the gametime and over all popularity and stuff
Also I will say, the interviewee did ask good questions. The answers were all over the place but she asked the questions everyone wanted.
This was rough to watch. It's like The View version of gaming 💀.
When the PS5 came out I got one asap only for demon souls remake and became a SONY fanboy and after watching this video, I don’t regret it. PS5 and steam deck can’t go wrong.
what happens is you get business people in positons like she's in. they are business first, know very little about games. they aren't boots on the ground folks. they have other business folks report to them who get info from the actual game folks. when you have a system like that, this is what you get. also "trends", my lord do I despise that. something hits for 3 months and others just want to copy that. 3 months of massive profits to them is all that matters. what have you done for me now. once that 3 months fades, they make cuts, start panicking.
Hi, How the Broken Hero shirts fits?
Loose and comfy
Really feels like Microsoft is trying to become the Facebook of gaming and I don’t like it.
you mean the netflix of gaming
It may have been "flat" for MS and Xbox, but other parts of the industry did really well and released some banger games. From what I have seen, MS seems to have a real issue understanding the gaming industry, which is why they continue to throw money at anything that moves and pivots when anything doesn't sell like hot cakes. Personally, I have not seen too much brand pushing from them (I see tons of Nintendo and Sony ads), which I really feel is one of the underlying issues why that have such a problem with getting customer buy-in for their platform and gamepass.
thats what I thought
Or maybe because games are $70+ and they aren't even finished. No one wants to spend money anymore we all caught and are tired of getting scammed
Yup and inflation is hurting ppl.
It was a good year for gaming if you’re not publishing big AAA games… I’ve gotten more pleasure playing smaller indie games. If I play a big AAA game lately, it’s been an older title I revisit
Whoa, I’m early 😮 keep up the good work and great content man!
Thanks! Will do!
I feel like this is very simple - make great games, don’t try to milk us for every penny we have, and leave modern politics out of it. Simple strategy for success.
I agree
Wow! Just seeing this video now and man, it is worse than I thought. They are going to disintegrate every studio that don’t create mobile games. It is like the TV, TV, TV from 2013, but Mobile, Mobile, Mobile. It is the same disconnect from reality 😵💫
wow you are asuming so much they shut down studios that dont bring in the numbers playtime and amount of people that finshed the game and talk about it and everything like that
In regard to the industry being flat for the past year. While I agree with you there were some great thing UA-cam is full of creators that made videos in the past year about what happpened to gaming or why it’s not fun anymore or similar titles and I believe you have even made similar content and I would say that would suggest that to some extent there is a industry issue not just Xbox
Trouble is the younger games won't ever know how good we had it so they will just accept the in game purchase and loot box model. Unfortunately I think the game industry is doomed to this type of model unless we just refuse to buy that rubbish.
She's hasn't got a clue she cone from T Mobile what dies that say..
Type that again, I didn't get it. She is from T Mobile?
Glade I switched to pc
Man this interview was hard to watch... She gives the impression that she never a played a videogame in her life (maybe just played mobile games, since keeps talking about it) . And that whole thing she says about hi-fi rush not being successful is just heartbreaking. Thanks for the reaction video 👍
Listen to KingThrash Gaming. He makes many accurate predictions. He said Sarah was there to focus mostly on mobile gaming since she worked for T Mobile.
@@east00 that's a shame. Mobile gaming just plainly sucks in my opinion
She sounds like she doesn't really know. This response answers nothing because they don't know. This was for just pomp and circumstance.
Quit going for that esg score and you’ll probably sell more
Honestly, I would have had a similar response to yours in the past. But recently, I after doing more research I tend to agree Sarah on alot of things. "Gamer enthusiasts" don't really dictate the market. Games like hifi rush get plenty of praise, but only have a 7% completion rate. The big titles of 2023 see a big base at launch and then the player base falls off. The big long lasting games now are esports. Roblox, counter strike, Minecraft, fortnite. These are the games with stay power now. I also think the broader market shows mobile is huge, it dominates the global market in terms of sales numbers. But has become the preference in the Asian market. I came to grips that I'm a casual player. I'm a 36 yr old dad that doesn't have time to dedicate to gaming. I like the direction xbox is heading that allows me for the flexibility to play where ever, when ever. I also think that's one of the huge strengths of something like the SteamDeck.
I agree with U but u r forgetting that Xbox is the main thing I think they r focusing to much on other stuff
I don't think much of this business talk. It's just talking around problems and everything is talked up. I don't care about the opinions of these companies any more than they care about how we gamers feel about the current situation.
Hi fi rush was not a commercial success. I dont understand why people cant understand this. The only proof of success was a tweet that 3 million people played it. Not bought it.
It was tweeted by xbox marketing.
9:04 i actually think they mean xbox is seeing the playtime and how many people are actually finishing the game and stuff yes sales are important but so is how the game helps gamepass as a whole we dont know the numbers microsoft has how hi fi rush is being talked about and maybe just maybe it went to playstation because the game wasnt doing well enough so they add it to more places to make it do better.
What is she talking about? It’s like a question is asked then she just randomly talked about something that has nothing to do with the question 😂
I think this is all very simple. The Xbox team and Microsoft aren't on the same page as far as strategy goes. Microsoft trumps Xbox easily... This is NOT an Xbox decision my friends, this is Microsoft. It's all about the money and AI. From the reports floating around, there's even more layoffs coming.
Is she even a gamer?
that is a question i guess but why ask it lol
The really sad part is that with owning a large company like Activision in Bethesda, what Microsoft and Xbox are supposed to be doing is using that funding to create a broader variety of titles through smaller development, teams and larger teams, but they’re going about it the wrong way thinking that every single title has to be call of duty grand theft auto auto auto auto And not a lot of people need another platform to play those titles they can be played all over the place so at the end of the day where it’s on special place in the market it doesn’t it’s losing its variety and it’s losing its diversity by letting go of quality teams just really bad and it takes away from the overall picture significantlyI believe and I think has the right idea when it comes to acquiring and getting that variety but when he has people like Sarah and Matt , I just don’t think they deliver
It’s Microsoft games. Now !
JD, this lady has no idea. Xbox has no idea.
ok i guess lol
Julien, you were actually why I ended up back on Xbox with the series S and eventually the series X. I actually love the little series S and I use it in my bedroom to game just for fun with my girlfriend when we’re having downtime at night. It got me back into gaming. Thank you for that.
But I digress. I’m curious to know how you would solve this problem if you were in charge? I’m actually asking you seriously. I trust you. What do you think they should do to turn everything around? And do you think they’re in any kind of trouble? I mean Microsoft is such a huge company. It’s hard to imagine them being in any real “trouble” but I do see them flailing. I want them to win!
This is just my two cents. But the vibe I got was that Microsoft isn't interested in making new games with the studios they've acquired. It feels like they want to take the games that the studios already have, and put it on their omni-platform games service. There is a big following for a lot of the games they've acquired. If they bring those fans into new service, then third party developers will follow. Making them essentially the new steam on every device.
Oh wow, I didn't think of it like that.
Bro,they can't just keep making passion projects,how can they keep studios when the top brass is leaving and still have confidence in that studio,and all those redundant positions had to be addressed,if you run a business you cant just keep people on payroll to make them happy,she said that they are helping the employees with transition so what more do they need to do,why would you also keep a studio with others that do the same job better.they had 4 studios in the Xbox one generation now we got like 30 I lost count now they have to streamline and become productive.bottom line is we need to stay out of Microsofts business and play games instead of playing UA-cam and twitter
Wow this lady is 1 dimensional
no mister game and watch is
Sooooooo what did this video really accomplish i dont understand
TRANSLATION: Game Makers... Avoid XBox discussions FOREVER!!!
Avoid them at all costs!!!
Why are our feelings mixed into those stuff? I love games too but damnnn. I actually don’t care. I just want Gears 6 or something… sheeeessshhh
I think gaming changed too much too fast and this is why this is happening. Studios stopped making games with very well developed characters and stories and instead focused too much on graphics, performance and releasing as many games as possible as fast as possible( hence the rise in broken games at launch with almost no replay ability). And we as gamers are partly to blame for that. Wanted more and more so fast. Just my 2 cents.
She is there to be thrown to the wolves, xbox messed up bad. Let's make the decisions we made look better to customers to make it not look as bad. We aren't stupid we see the economic down turn across the world, so while I love games and continue to grow my library almost weekly I do it at a deep discount. There are great games still coming out but they aren't from companies we used to love and respect, now they come from indies. I know the likes of xbox and sony see that indies are taking over and the era of AAA is dying at a rapid pace. They are scrambling to save money because their AAA's aren't panning out. The sad thing is instead of pushing for these indies to succeed they stay in the past and try and milk us for every dollar in our pockets.
The next hardware is probably going to be a gamepass handheld. Like it or not gamepass is the present and future of xbox, and i disagree that gamepass isn't what gamers want. Millions of causal gamers use it and a lot of people dont want to invest the 100s of dollars it takes to buy the hardware and games.
Not every decision a company makes has to cater to us, I get that you dont like how its going but acting like mobile and casual gamers arent a massive part of the industry is gate keeping.
Im not a gamepass or even an xbox user anymore becaue it doesnt make sense for me, but clearly Microsoft sees value in it, if you want to own your games and not worry about them working on next gen hardware then move to PC.
We need new game Xbox come on
I think she’s talking about the business side of video games being flat, but to your point I don’t think Nintendo was flat. I’m not sure that Play Station was flat. Xbox might’ve been flat, but that was because I think GamePass isn’t profitable and some of the triple A games didn’t do that well. So maybe Xbox was flat more so than the rest of the industry. It’s also hard when “the industry” is represented by 3 companies now that Microsoft has bought up a bunch of studios. Not much of an industry. I would wager she, and many Microsoft executives, don’t play video games.
Everytime Xbox have one of these events it feels like a business meeting rather than a Nintendo/Sony event which feels like it’s about games and gamers . All they talk about is growing the market/ making sure there profitable. Sony aren’t creating games as well as they used to do. Nintendo appear to be on a great position going into 2025 and steam with the deck is the other promising market .
This is actually a business event… it’s an interview with Bloomberg
DEI
the problem of xbox is none of the leadership knows how to make games
The Xbox and Playstation consoles serve no purpose in this day and age. Device's like the Switch and Steam deck are the future
This is what happens when you bypass a resume and hire someone solely on skin colour. She clearly has no idea what she’s doing.
Dont be racist, plenty of white get hired solely because they are white, when people like you realize color doesn't matter.
Only games I've played that I actually enjoyed the past 3 years were cod and horizon forbidden west. Everything else was pretty mid in my opinion.. I gotta say, she really lacks enthusiasm, I'm getting idc vibes from her. Corporate hands have destroyed xbox. Microsoft needs to let xbox be xbox again. The OG and 360 were simply amazing.
Phil was finally honest, genuine and correct when he said great games for Xbox could never help them beat Sony. The 360 had marketing deals and timed exclusive content for the biggest games 7th gen, COD and GTA and the PS3 still sold well over 200 million more games than what the 360 did. Even Nintendo could never outsell Sony in total games or beat them in marketshare value.
stocks are going down 📉 after seeing this
