Exactly as I speculated the other day. There's a difference between being allowed the right to self-publish, which likely has consequences for revenue sharing and the legalities of IP ownership, versus executive entitlement to every facet of publishing decisions.

Uncle Phil with all the guns

He’s taking about their back catalog of games in regards to Game Pass: “it’s whatever Phil wants to do.”

Focus of the interview is GamePass, GamePass, GamePass.

The slayer is coming is confirmed you have to adjust the brightness or something. At work no time find a pic.

"The slayer is coming"? What? How is that a hidden message? Because you can build the sentence out of letters in the text? When "The" and "is coming" are all complete words? Please, tell me how this works, logically, as an encoded message.

I'm someone who only believes in the hidden messages when there is undeniable coding. For example, when the first letter of each word spells out an entire phrase, or the the first letter of the first word in each sentence, or the last letter of every fourth word, or the whole words along the left margin, etc.

Listen up everybody! Out of all the months this year, this has definitely been the most eventful. On top of the announce of EA Play and cloud gaming (Beta), there's even more news coming your way. Keep reading for more details.

Better get excited. Everyone's gonna go crazy when they hear what I'm about to tell you. Low and behold, [REDACTED] is coming to the service very soon!

Of course, this needs to remain a secret. We need to resist the temptation of dropping hints for followers."

Talk soon,
Melissa


The thing that jumped out at me reading that was the error, "Low and Behold". It's "Lo and Behold". There is another grammatical error with "announce" instead of "announcement". Perhaps the fact "ment" is missing is meant to be a hint.

Hearing "behold" definitely makes me think of "Beholders", the old D&D monster, which appeared in DOOM, I'm just confused by this "The slayer is coming" hidden message assertion.

Its apparently hidden in the white space beneath her name

Lol, of course the actual quote and context is getting ignored. There you have it...

lol.. what do you not get from "it's whatever wants Phil to do".

Whether that be putting the backlog on Gamepass, which makes it clear Microsoft have control of the IP's.

I posted the actual interview with context. He’s taking about their back catalog and how that fits into GamePass.

It says absolutely nothing about what’s happening going forward except for GamePass.

“There you have it” lol.

Exactly my take on it. He’s just using what happens with their back catalog as an example of a decision that Phil gets to make, not suggesting that’s the extent of Phil’s power.

Dizzy’s stuck at denial or bargaining

You chart didn’t really land yesterday, either.

 

[Dizzy]

None of this news is posted anywhere other than some Microsoft simp with 11 likes on his tweet. Wonder why.

I’m confused though. If Microsoft owns zenimax how wouldn’t they have the right to decide where the game goes? They own the company how could Someone else in that company supersede their decisions.

We’re talking about publishing rights. Bethesda has maintained those for their in house games.

 

[Dizzy]

Fallout and TES will be on PS5.

Anyone is welcome to bet me.

 

[LuchaBear]

They should make a deal to use each other's exclusives. Doom and Elder Scrolls for Demon Souls and Spiderman.

Hines defers and literally points to Phil to how the back catalogue is handled, when and were.. yet we are to believe he has no control.

Ok.

 

[Deadwing88]

Fallout and TES will be on PS5.

I mean its literally going to be 4-5 years until any info about Elder Scrolls comes to light.. so that's a long ass bet. lol.

What's your view on potential Starfield exclusivity ?

The bet will gain interest then.

Seriously though, I don’t know anything about Starfield. My thoughts going forward is that they will have new IP’s exclusive to Xbox/PC but that a lot of their established ones will see wider releases.
