I said something similar in another thread, but Phil is looking (and acting) more and more like an alien cockroach is inhabiting his skin lately.

Isn’t he always like this? Don’t really understand why he’s always protected by the community. He’s the head of xbox studio before xbox one released. Which is around the time xbox started to to have problems with their first party output

He’s well liked because he came from the trenches and has a good track record of knowing his shit. When compared with the likes of Kotick or Guillemot, it’s a breath of fresh air (despite being such a low bar). However as one of the highest execs in the entire gaming industry, this is the kind of stuff he does all year long.

Plus you know, his public-facing image is well curated and people like it.

Is Phil asking for more sugar in his water?

He looked much better after putting on a few pounds and beating the shit out of a blind lawyer
