RELEASE THE MUSH!!!

Oh. ....That's not good.

ooooh n-

they're fucked :')

It's never been more over smh

Remember back when Xbox and Playstation got SEGA's 1st party status killed? Wonder if something similar will happen here.

Shame there's no E3.

Microsoft slopBox?🤔

I'm not a console wars person, but the words "replaced" and "AI" don't sound good...

Microslop continuing to be Microslop as usual.

Fuck Microsoft

We will always remember him for his "wall of sound" production style.

Lmaooo Xbox is so fucked.

Who are they going to get to run the gaming division into the ground now?

Now we really entering the AI slop era... amazing

At first I thought they replaced the CEO with AI, which might have indicated we finally found the one good use for AI. Alas.

@alexelcapoyt.bsky.social has visto esto?

Slopbox

Say what you want about Phil, but least he was a gamer, who tried his to please everyone. Unlike Don what's his face.

Thank god!!

“…As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop. Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us."” I wonder how long that will last.

Ai

Well this can’t be good for the industry 😭

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

Satya drives around in his car talking to an AI chatbot about podcasts he didn't listen to. Dude is AI-pilled.

1) Owch. 😅😅👏🏻👏🏻 2) I got the chance to dip my toes at some COBOL around 2011. Very basic Mainframe script editing.

Your first sentence is the mistake. They HAVE money, so people assume they understand money, but having something and understanding it are not the same. I have a car, but doesn't mean I understand all the engineering in it, but it's like everyone saw that and brought me their cars for repair anyway.

It’s the French Nobility in the Palace at Versailles all over again.

Satya is AI-brained. Just absolutely cooked. He is huffing all of the farts inflating this bubble

Can’t wait for copilot to pop up after I get downed in Arc Raiders.

bsky.app/profile/noga...

Good luck with that. AI has also ruined the PC world with RAM and GPU prices beyond the reach of many folks.

My biggest takeaway from this is we're never getting that new hexen game phil kept promising to make

What? 😮

I have had an Xbox since the first version. I will never play an AI game.

What?!?

Goodbye @xbox.com. It's been an okay ride.

Every time I think the Xbox brand cannot get more dead they find a way to surprise me

Real talk. There are many of us who have invested a lot of money in the Xbox eco system since the beginning. If this is signs of the end, we're fucked.

Don't care, not giving Microslop money ever

Damn, how dirty did they do Sarah? No email no thanx, just GONE. Only person to mention her was Phil.

A really good job at doing a terrible job

Phil promised a lot of things and never delivered for years and years. He absolutely did not do a good job.

He did an absolutely terrible job.

Phil did a terrible job

Microsoft has always had a magic knack for selling stuff that nobody really wants

@stopskeletons.bsky.social The Xbox story is ongoing... but I wonder for how long?

I cancelled auto renew on my Game Pass Ultimate about 3 months ago. On September it runs out. I will not be renewing. I am down to PC, Ps5, and Switch. I may cancel PlayStation Plus next. The gaming industry is cooked.

It’s over folks.

the begining of the end was Don Mattrick. it somehow managed to become even more over repeatedly since then!

This jumble brought to you by autocorrect.

Microsoft would never name a product something as straightforward as “Microsoft AI Exec”

It is

Give it a few days

I thought this was The Onion upon reading the headline like that.

Ooof - there have been plenty of mistakes over the years but I see no way that this makes things better.

why not just crown the AI as the CEO. It'll save them more money.

The end of Xbox.

Playstation now has the chance to do the funniest thing...

That's the typical MS advancement path. Stay any longer in one position/group and you are not "career-orieinted." Quoth the spouse of a MS alumni, who was formerly in the hierachy of what used to be "Microsoft Press" until they RIF'd the entire division.

most of this stuff has been marketing-driven for a while now so it's not a big surprise

I mean, seriously, at ths point? I'm not only looking for non-AI-infected tools for writing and publishing but am actively avoiding platforms that enable it by defalt if I am unable to disable it. (And I absolutelhy loathe that I am more or less forced to engage with Meta & Alphabet.)

Good bye xbox developers, hello copilot developer

Over invested in AI that no one asked for and sank their gaming brand at the same time. Round of applause (again) for MS for continuing to make smart, user friendly decisions 🙄 /s

Probably not good for consoles or their AI position

people play xbox?

Here's a product name that'll make you puke but has a chance of actually happening: Xbox Copilot Controller

man

Nintendo drunkenly stumbled back into supremacy.

Seems Bad

So… this took an unexpected turn.

Absolutely insane Microsoft forced them out and handed the reigns to an AI pusher who worked at Home Depot only four years ago

The lack of RAM due to AI is killing the Steam Machine, they are overdue to announce price estimates because there are no parts

Lmao!!!!! I just woke up! Wtf is happening?

well it's official: xbox is dead. had a good run. i guess I better beat all the games in my backlog and sell my series x before it turns into a doorstop

Fucking hell can we just hit reset on this week

Yikes.

Exactly what Xbox needs - someone even more into AI.

Quick! Better re-release Skyrim!

WELCOME TO 2026 GAMING IS OVER!

RIP XBOX

bond knows what a glass cliff looks like

2001 - 2026. The Xbox had a quarter century run. It was a good time. But now, it's over. Just one more good thing annihilated by the unquenchable greed of the AI bros.

I would - either I save the ship and take all the credit, or the ship sinks and I take 0 blame cuz it was already sinking

Says right there in the article that retirement transition started last fall. Probably right about Bond though.

Let me get this straight… the guy in charge of the product line nobody wants is now in charge of the product line Microsoft has lost all interest in? Man, I’d love a job where there was literally no way to succeed but I’d be paid stupid money all day long.

Microslop doing Microslop things.

Of fucking hell, Xbox just keeps getting worse and worse

lol, may the company rest in piss

Phil Spencer is gone now... we'll see what the new hellscape looks like.

It's easy! Just take your head and shove it deep in your own anus.

It can't be taught. It's more art than science.

It can always get worse.

Replacing a passionate but ill-equipped executive with an incompetent AI shill will make what you think is rock bottom look like paradise It absolutely can be worse than Phil and it will 100% get worse. Good luck

It's about to get WAY worse. At least Phil kinda cared about games. Now the slop factory is about to go ham.

RIP Xbox.

Microsoft is going down the shitter I see

Just when you think Xbox couldn't get worse...

Next on Unlocked!…

Seems bad

The new CEO of Microsoft Gaming
