So tone deaf.... The President of a gaming company should at least know about gaming.
she said a lot of words that meant nothing
Read her wiki
Oh, she knows. She's just a professional question dodger.
she's not the president of gaming, she's the president of the entertainment division of a trillion dollar conglomerate company.
There's a nifty difference there, her role is not ensuring you have fun, her role is ensuring this division is profitable
They threw her to the wolves. This should have been Phil or the CEO since he's the one who demanded the studio closures
what a soulless corporate PR robot, no empathy, dodging questions
Ladies and gentlemen, these are the same people who said they "needed smaller, award winning games"
So more "cinematic" games.
Emphasis on the cinema, less on the game.
hahaha now we can finally say Playstation>Xbox this person looks like she doesn't even know what a platinum trophy is just going to push her agenda on xbox games subliminally what a joke. Go woke go broke mfs haha looks like all xbox players are all now feminist activists
And that was said by Matt Booty, head of Xbox studios, just ONE DAY after announcing Tango Gameworks' closing. Incredibly tone deaf
She talked, talked, talked and said absolutely NOTHING.
She did, but it seems you’re not capable of understanding them
i am internally screaming because all of it was just random words that meant nothing.
@@zeals936 Enlighten me then, cuz she objectively did not answer any of the questions properly. All she did was waffle.
I mean she addressed ai use in gaming, why the studios were shut down, cloud gaming, future game releases. how they are branching off into mobile gaming and the upcoming games they are releasing this year. But yeah sure she said nothing okay.
@@littellgameras a president of a big company, she is in charge of giving persuading answers to try to dodge the questions. If she does that, she can assure that you won’t hear what u want to hear. Specially like hiding from the big mistake of closing down certain studios, she’s a coward.
Not so smart strategy, that brings hatred from consumers, unfortunately
There is something truly distasteful about someone working at such a high position who doesn't even care about the industry she's in.
Her job isn't to care about the industry, her job is to make money for Microsoft.
@@tehSunBro That kind of short sighted vision on how to run a business is how you lose a lot of revenue..and perhaps even destroy Xbox all together.
If Xbox doesn't make money why would any of the investors or shareholders care about them existing.
Also that is not how you lose money, because evidently, Microsoft made 20 billion profit.
You make revenue by cutting off what doesn't make money.
If you think that Microsoft would feel losing Xbox, it's probly a good thing you are not responsible for corporate finances. @@MrBreakthompson
It's how all industries are. Nestle isn't run by chefs or food scientists. Why would those managing videogames CARE about them?
@@tehSunBro You don't do that by pissing off the user base.
This has not aged well. And Its only been a day...
lol
This interview is an insult to Tango, Arkane and all of their fans. It shouldn't be hard to clear the air regarding these issues but instead she just worms her way through the questions with complete non answers. Despicable behavior.
hahaha now we can finally say Playstation>Xbox this person looks like she doesn't even know what a platinum trophy is just going to push her agenda on xbox games subliminally what a joke. Go woke go broke mfs haha looks like all xbox players are all now feminist activists
Average corporate sociopath
She's the xbox president? Rest in peace xbox.
Have a feeling she's not really in charge.
@@Tonycaveman why
@@austinjoseph2881 It's the higher ups at Microsoft pulling the strings
@@austinjoseph2881cuz she’s black if she were white both of these racist would say a thing 🤦♂️
@@Tonycaveman in charge is technically still Phill Spencer which is CEO of Microsoft gaming.
After they bought Activision they made MS gaming, that have underdivisions Xbox, Bethesda, Activision and King.
So she have not reall impact on all studios (especially in term of closing studios there should be Bethesda CEO) but still she have impact on old Xbox studios and future hardware and software.
Interviewer: "Why did you close Tango?, they just made a hit game"
Sarah: "You know, videogames, because we love art, yeah, we like games".
Me: ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!
me - adorably no vr, no gyro, no adaptive triggers, no haptics. TWO machines every dev hates. fk xbox.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
She got into this position by not answering questions directly. Its a skill and why they put her in front of Congress. 😂
Well, it wasn't a hit game because nobody bought it and it didn't receive as many downloads. It was a phenomenal game but it didn't make enough money.
@@SpeakerBoxXx805 You know that because microsoft/xbox transparently shared the cost of making the game and how much money they got from sales?.
Because since microsoft/xbox doesn't share transparent info, I assume we can't know, just guess.
Crazy that this lady gets paid millions just to be absolutely clueless
Welcome to corporations in the 21st.
I bet she can't even complete Cuphead's tutorial.
Deep burn.
😂 best take
Her answers were randomly generated by AI.
She entirely generated by AI.
Too bad even for an AI
This woman will receive millions of dollars by the end of this year while hundreds of devs will lose their jobs. Fck this shit!
Phil Spencer hiding while she's taking the bullets, pathetic.
you mad get a better job and also this is a hobby area, so I don't feel sorry for you or anyone else.
Well she is the president of Xbox so it's her job to do interviews, also she's no angel either, and layoffs are a normal thing that happens not just in video games but also in life, welcome to reality buddy, life is hard, get a helmet.
How dare you. She’s a woman and black.
@@joshuamoore553 That Microsoft dick must taste very good huh?
Shoulda asked her "What's your favorite Mario game on Xbox"
smoke comes out of her head lmao
"we love creativity in video games, also have you seen the fallout show its so good!,"
We build? Bond and Spencer haven't ever built shit. Tango did and they canned them. Xbox is f****d.
They didn't build Rare, Minecraft, Candy Crush, Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, Fallout (even Bethesda didn't build Fallout), Doom, Hellblade, Psychonauts, or just about anything they are trying to be known for at this point. Talentless hacks gotta buy it once others already did the hard part of making it, and look how quickly it turns to shit the moment they have to own the management decisions. They just wanted to pocket the money and the IP, they have no idea how to actually run a studio. The closest they came to the Sony or Nintendo approach was with Halo and Gears of War, and those studios turned tail as soon as they were able... Microsoft is absolutely repulsive, and not just to us gamers/customers, but to their talent and business partners as well
hahaha now we can finally say Playstation>Xbox this person looks like she doesn't even know what a platinum trophy is just going to push her agenda on xbox games subliminally what a joke. Go woke go broke mfs haha looks like all xbox players are all now feminist activists
@@cosmosofinfinity yes, and nintendo and sony are repulsive for different but similar reasons. the power wielded by companies that own walled gardens is a guaranteed betrayal in the end. this is why you don't let power accrete. even if the dictator seems like a good guy today (ahem VALVE), they WILL turn you into a product and the enshittification WILL happen as soon as they run out of market to saturate. Since these companies are pushed to grow as fast as the GDP, emerging markets, and emergent properties of new tech will bear, that saturation will happen sooner rather than later. they're burning the candle, and there will be an end.
@@cosmosofinfinityBethesda just grabbed fallout and put it through the shitter lol
She can't contain her excitement about videogames.
She just loves videogames so much, bros.
*Sarcasm
she's great at giving non-answers
Yep, that's basic apologetics tactics.
Also it's Bloomberg media so corporate media don't press too hard on corporate execs either.
She's gotta get better at lying though, she needs to study Phil a bit more, that guy is an excellent liar.
She could be the vice president.
She’s actually bad when it’s this obvious. I wonder if she has ever said the phrase “I don’t know” in her life.
That's why she is the President at Xbox 😜
Get rid of her. Fire her she can't even deliver a real response.
Just like Phil Spencer. He's nothing more than a HYPE MAN.
He's another shade of Don Mattrick.
She's of a certain colour .....never getting fired , the optics wouldn't look good
@@mccleandazza4618 Nobody would be upset if they got rid of her. She's the face to direct anger towards regarding this whole mess
@@mccleandazza4618 You can be upset with someone for poor decisions without blaming it on their ethnic background, buddy.
@@nichoudha that’s not the point he was making “buddy” and you know it
unbelievably poor journalism to let her just non-answer her way through the HiFi Rush question without pushing her at all with a followup question! You’re not their PR team bloomberg!!
Its bloomberg. Unless the person being interviewed has this (R) at the end of their name it’s not an interview its PR.
Well journalist? I suppose the term has been devalued enough to use it for this interviewer :D.
After all journalist is basically a pejorative now so in that sense it's fitting. Professional teleprompt reader.
@@Gringosaurusboo hoo poor republicans :(

I love how the interviewer doesn't even care if her questions are answered :)
Bought and paid son
im sure she was told not to press any of her answers she got. fuck both of them
Yeah, couldn't imagine not having my questions answered and just moving on like that
If you press these people to answer hard questions, they will never come back on your program ever again.
Interviewer is softballing
She's completely defeated. She has no answers.
She’s not suppose to. It’s very scripted. Looks like she’s mentally resetting after every sentence.
Phil Spencer and the rest of Xbox leadership need to be fired. 10 years of total failure, Xbox needs a new vision badly.
She looks stressed!!
@nixy.. I get it. But she's supposed to say SOMETHING to reassure fans and she's definitely not doing that.
@@pedrorivera2308 Entirely their own doing.
She is a text-book example of a sociopath. She is not in the position she's in because she likes gaming. She is where she is because she loves power - like all sociopaths do.
bingo. sociopaths run the corpos.
and she probably bullied nerds back in high school
She strikes me as a diversity hire
Thats not what a sociopath is. It's literally impossible to make that distinction over a publicity interview
She's a dei hire ..her colour and lack of a 🍆 got her the job
This is the most painful and laboured interview I have ever seen. She doesn’t know what she is talking about, deflecting questions, thinking about what was her written prepared response which said nothing. What an insult to intelligence:
Bond gave the most meaningless non-answer to the decision to shut down Tango Gameworks. Just embarrassing and hard to watch.
What did you want her to say? Say something to hurt the brand or her job? It's obviously a decision above her.
@@Isayus1yeah! How dare we expect a spine from corporate mouthpieces! Now let's get back to accepting the sorry state of affairs in the corporate world in silence and as a natural law! Nothing can be done people just need to accept that everything is shitty all the time!
I agree but also it’s Matt Booty and Phil in charge of making decisions about studios, she’s just responsible for the platform.
@@PartisanGamerDEexpecting someone to risk their livelyhood just to make people feel better online is beyond stupid, the people making a big fuss about this don't give a fuck. They will still buy Microsoft games. Also, who would ever hire you at this level if you do that and for what? So some randoms can respect you? Please some folks have families. You hate this? Don't support it in any form going forward. If you do, then shut up and stop expecting others to lose their jobs when you don't even have it in you to stop buying a product.
The consumer is the problem? The consumer didn't layoff the devs. Bootlicker. @@Isayus1
Cancelled my xbox gamepass just now.
Oh wow what will Microsoft do now ? You shouldn't have payed for it in the first place
Good work son.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Franku40keksyou still trying to save Xbox huh, smh face reality bro they’re doomed
Almost forgot to cancel my game pass. Thanks Bloomberg!
Why cancel?
Shocked they left the comments on 🍿
The way she responded to the question of Tango Gameworks being shut down is how a middle schooler sounds after being caught cheating on the test and making up excuses
Imagine saying that an app store with a download button is an "experience"
nothing annoys gamers more than seeing people who don't play games or even CARE ABOUT them, try to figure out why charging 70 for unfinished garbage, is leading to stagnation.
"we're charging 70 dollars for a games now that are half done and not as good as games from a decade ago, but we can't figure out why the industry isnt growing >:("
is what shouldve been the conclusion here.
It's like watching two toasters talking... thank you Bloomberg for this riveting journalism.
Entire Leadership needs to be fired.
100%
No It's about money get over yourself and learn how to run a company
@@joshuamoore553no they cry about it and act like something bad is going on
@@joshuamoore553 My biggest issue is the lies and mixed messaging. If Satya and other big wigs are making decisions now, then they should have never purchased ABK. I really think they are jumping the gun here. I mean they don't have ABK library on GP yet, and there are a pile of upcoming games. Why they can't wait a year to see how things shake up is baffling. If Nintendo gave up after the WiiU they wouldn't have the Switch. This was Xbox best chance to get some market momentum back their way with Sony's troubles.
No Xbox just needs to leave the industry.
This is one of the worst interviews I've ever listened to. Her body language said everything her non answers were avoiding. Say what you will about Xbox, these "leaders" they entrusted the brand with are nothing short of terrible. As a fan, this really hurts to hear...
say what we want? adorably no vr, no gyro, no adaptive triggers, no haptics. TWO machines every dev hates. fk xbox.
Well said!
@joejoe2658 vr is a gimmick and the psvr2 didn't sell
DEI is in full bloom. Enjoy.
You're missing the larger point: Corporate PR speak is painfully out of date. No one can ever make a real point. Just talk in circles around truth. That's what these companies want in their figure heads.
“Why did you close these studios with hit games?”
“BECAUSE WE LOVE GAMES”
An ordinary gamer can do a better job than the xbox president
right!? like its not hard, just make good games with good story telling... sell games then repeat.
Interviewer: Talk about why you closed four videogame studios
Xbox boss: QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM
Xbox boss:
Well look at the mess Sony are in due to ever increasing costs vs profit, they last released a First Party AAA exclusive in 2023(one for the whole year) their next AAA First Party title dosent release until at least March 2025.
We have 4 AAA Xbox First Party exclusives coming this year, thank you very much for your question.

they're like politicians. Not answering and diverting blame.
Be skeptical of all people in power. They seek it out, which is why so many sociopaths make it to CEO and congress
They're all psychopaths that don't know how to feel emotions so they try to imitate them and then this is what the outcome is. Artificial looking robots, they think they're blending in but from our side they stand out.
Shes done nothing but prove the incredibly large disconnect between their customers and the suits. She didn't answer any questions directly, which actually pisses me off.
Fans: We want more games!
Sarah Bond: Say less. Here’s a mobile store app so you can play candy crush while we closed down 4 studios for xbox
Oh boy, you mean the same Candy Crush I could already play? Since like a decade? And maybe some other shit ass mobile turn-your-brain-off time-wasting scams too? I really should get it on the Microsoft platform... why, exactly?
So bad. The entire Xbox Senior Leadership team should resign. Creatively bankrupt. No vision. No strategy. Xbox has no credibility anymore.
And no balls!
Probably will get bonuses and raises instead.
So bad XBox now looks at least as dumb as Ubisoft and as toxic as EA.
Nah you guys get to enjoy the DEI hellhole you all cheered on. Enjoy the crop you helped sow.
took 10 seconds to see the problem lmfao
Call them out for the shittiness of their character and their total moral bankrupcy.
But if you think something else is the problem, say it with your chest.
This interview makes me wonder if AI taking over everyone's job at Microsoft would be an improvement. Or maybe it did already...
23 studios, 4 were just shut down, 5 months into the year, and they released 0 games
3 shut down, 1 absorbed but yeah. I share the sentiment.
It especially angered me when she gleefully mentioned that Xbox has always allowed their games on other platforms, and proceeds to list out games that were on released on other platforms before MS bought their studios out.
Brooo, that really pissed me off, when she mentioned Minecraft and COD, I was like wtf Sarah
yea, this answer is a little weird. she should've said, psychonauts 2, ori 1 and 2, etc... or even bring out pc steam as a multiplatform example.
Yeah I was hoping the interviewer would push back on that response but alas.. here I am in the comments looking for others that relate with me lol.
She has no clue what she is talking about, she could have been a lot more prepared particularly as a top executive at Xbox.
So what? They didn’t have to support said games after buying them so it’s still valid.
4:21 Translation: Despite Hi-Fi Rush being a success and making bank, the profit was just not enough for us so we shut the studio down (also the failure of Redfall sealed Arkane Austin's fate)
Props to the editing team removing the dial-up tone each time Sarah paused to think.
Xbox and Microsoft love to deflect. They take no responsibility for their own failures and mismanagement and instead blame it on the market. What a joke
thats what most bog corporations do, they never take accountability until OOPS happens then they apologize and pivot. its all bullshit theater. bizarre that theyre talking about mobile games in 2024 as if anyone gives a fuck LOL embarrassing day to be a gamer. while nintendo and valve keep printing money, I'm glad I talked my brother out of getting an xbox and instead we got Meta Quest 3 headsets and also own PCs, I used to be a huge fan of the 360 and OG Xbox, this is absolutely sad. moving on from xbox from now on. PC/VR games future seem bright, Good luck everyone.
Failures? It’s crazy how randoms on the internet don’t know about business but talk like they do 🤦🏾♂️

@@willlloyd6637How are you even defending this lady and her awful mismanagement of people's time and effort, they are the richest company in the world and have near an infinite amount to fund the games they make but yet they still fail massively compared to PlayStation and Nintendo.
They are sh*t as business, just cause you wear a suit and pretend you're better than everyone else doesn't mean you understand basic management more than anyone else here ya goof. You're prolly defending her avoidant attitude just cause she's black, if she was any other skin colour you would've jumped on criticising her, face it, you're a rascist.
I mean what do you expect if people don't like to buy games and just go on gamepass
Way to not answer the questions
“We’re gonna start mobile gaming on the web”, “I’m excited about it”, she sounds very excited about a stupid idea
"Most of the industry has been flat"... No, no it hasn't. Just Xbox has been "flat", more appropriate word would be trash.
Her responses make this even worse. When you think the ship couldn't sink any lower
Why did you close Tango Gameworks?

Microsoft strategy: Buy studios then destroy studios...

They're just playing off EA's playbook.
The fans don't just hate Sarah Bond, but the idea that Sarah Bond could exist. That someone with no love or knowledge in gaming could be appointed to power in an artistic industry. The fans hate that someone could be Sarah Bond. The outrage isn't against her, but the idea of her, what her mistakes symbolize for the industry. The fans want to make sure there are no more Sarah Bonds forever.
Wow, awful. All these people fired, potential games cancelled, and you are talking about mobile, cloud and pointless talk.
They don't know what they're doing.
It's completely clear.
This was a whole lot of nothing.
Yeah. A trillon dólar corporation has no clue what to do with it? Are you kidding me, They know what they are doing and if they need to close more studios to be able to get their vision going they will.
@pacojaviersg they bought Activision blizzard and are just NOW debating whether or not COD should go onto gamepass.
The people running xbox have no clue what they are doing
@@rewpertcone8243I personally think they’re debating the decision because it’s basically a hit or miss for cod revenue if it does make it. I don’t see cod breaking billion revenue if they launch this on game pass. Like at all.

Can’t believe anyone thought this was a good idea.
More corporate bullshit about increased costs and targets and “tough decisions.”
Entire leadership team needs to go. ASAP.
Yeah, I don't understand how the industry has gone backwards while technology has moved forwards.

We haven't a single answer here... It's incredible how Sarah just walk around the topics and avoid to say a thing that make sense. The cloud gaming growths answers were hard to watch... She clearly don't have a clue about the numbers and just said that it's "good".

But Sega was doing it to themselves.
MSFT is a weapon of ass destruction at this point. With their 100 billon dollar bullshit strategy. The fact this actually went through is beyond me. And we already see the face of MicroShit...... RIP gaming.
Sega realized that the DreamCast just couldn't compete with the PS2 and so the company quit selling consoles and instead focused on games and merchandise.
Conversely, Microsoft has become too risky adverse and creatively bankrupt.
Instead of investing in more first party titles to entice more players to buy Xboxes, they've instead started playing safe and have been gobbling up any studio they get their hands on. They've found success with Gamepass, but it doesn't seem like a very sustainable business model in the long run.
This woman makes me so excited about not gaming anymore. Thanks Xbox for killing games.
She's dancing around the ring like Mayweather avoiding answering those questions 😂

Yes kinda sad to see but that's what comes with the job during rough times. Hopefully things get better.
Agree with everything you said. I have been vocal against Microsoft and their leadership for years and frustrated at all the recent decisions but I still feel secondhand anxiety. I don't envy them right now.
@@Drstrange3000 hahah second hand anxiety. Man i know exactly what you mean. Must have been super tough for her to get those questions on the spot. I think any CEO or president would have struggled with those questions in the position they are in right now.

I just don’t know if it will be day and date for the new cod. What i did notice in tough positions they always throw a bone to fans. They did it last time where they then decided to announce Diablo 4 in gamepass and tried to do it now as well with saying that digital store front launch in the next couple months. Kinda weird.

You're part of the problem. You haven't played Hi Fi Rush yet?! People don't play Hi-Fi Rush, Price of Persia the lost crown, Banisters Ghost of new eden etc... Companys release these amazing games, but Pepole don't play them. Then they complain when they fire developers and shut down studios 🤦♂️
@@MrWar2050 Stop with this nonsense, Microsoft is the most valuable company in the world, they buy studios only to close them after a year, I played HiFi Rush and it was great, blaming the consumer is incredibly stupid
@@lucassaldanha8525 My point went way over your head...
@@MrWar2050 It was said that Hi-Fi Rush was a success by all metrics according to Microsoft. That means it definitely made enough money to keep the studio afloat, so Tango Gameworks was most certainly shut for other reasons. If I were to guess the reason, it'd be because Microsoft/Xbox wanted to save as much money as possible when choosing which studios to shutter and Tango weren't very far into development on their next game which means there wouldn't have been as large of a lost investment if that game were canned along with the studio. Hell, the common theme among these shuttered studios seems to be that they didn't have any big projects lined up or in full-scale production, so I'd guess that's the biggest deciding factor.
@@MrWar2050 bro im busy playing my massive backlog😭point is hi-fi rush was still a pretty big success for xbox so this decision is still so offputting
MOBILE GAMES?!!! 😳 you have to be kidding me 🤦🏾♂️
Exactly.
Have you seen how much Candy Crush makes? Obviously not, and own store means no cut to Apple or Google. And that was a huge reason they bought ABK because of Kings expertise in mobile industry. And just for final thoughts last I heard well over 70% of the gaming industry total revenue is from mobile gaming. This and PC the biggest growing sector in gaming
@@NinjaSquirrel30doesn’t make it any less lame
@@NinjaSquirrel30that just sounds like gaming Amageddon and MSFT being on the astroid's side....
A more fickle and cancerous form of video games than even live service games... It's like 90% sunset within a year or two. I could never bring to myself bother getting invested in even the one good mobile game in that sort of environment
They're going to can Rare next.
She says "um" alot.
remember the scene in shrek the third, when Pinocchio twist his answer in order to lie without lying.... same energy.
Lol, 1 Shrek was enough for my taste, but I dont even need to see the movie to get the point. And it makes so much sense 😂
Damn she so clueless and defeated.

After seeing this, it seems like the future of consoles will be Sony x Nintendo
I’ve never seen Sarah Bond so nervous.
Sarah looked good and as "Cool as the Other Side of the Pillow".
@@otherZinc what? maybe it's a country thing... but what does that mean?
@@AdelaideBen1 she doesn't look nervous, she looked unmoved. She kept eye contact, no Stuttering, no cracked voice... public speaking is not easy, especially after recent events.,.she did great imo.
@@DwaynedaGamer you are perhaps being ironic... Please tell me you're not serious.
@@AdelaideBen1 which way did she look "so nervous"?....she answered every question, maybe not to your liking, but what can she say?...where's Phil?...he's on the run...at least she ain't running.
