The foundation that Phil Spencer, boss of Xbox, built in Fallout 76 has been destroyed. But this is not a political act to protest Microsoft’s recent decisions.
Phil Spencer lost his base in Fallout 76, a video game which has regained some color since the series was broadcast on Amazon. In a tweet published on May 9, we discover that it was destroyed by a player who took responsibility for his act. “ Guilty », replied Joe Grizzly Bitch, with a capture where we see him crossing paths with Phil Spencer in the game (his nickname is P3) and https://twitter.com/real1090jake/status/1788424371825975360/video/1.
Is this slightly terrorist act linked to recent decisions by Microsoft, which has just closed studios, for example? We could have believed it given the timing. But it’s just a coincidence of timing, Joe Grizzly Bitch told Kotaku on May 9: “ This has been my mission for several weeks now. It was a calculated attack and I have nothing against Phil. Phil is cool. Fallout 76 is cool. »
Phil Spencer no longer has a base in Fallout 76
Joe Grizzly Bitch’s real goal was to fight Phil Spencer after challenging him to a duel. “ I wanted a confrontation, but he didn’t attack me, he waved and sent me hearts when I met him “, he explains. He adds : ” He was the final boss in my eyes. In an RPG, I prefer to be the bad guy. »
Proof that it was something premeditated for a while, the person concerned showed https://twitter.com/real1090jake/status/1788534482091282454dating from April and accompanied by a capture where we see Phil Spencer in Fallout 76. He stated at the time: “ The great general, Phil, don’t let me catch him. » He set this goal in mind after completing the main campaign of Fallout 76. So it was nothing more than a huge role-playing game.
Since the start of the year, Microsoft has made a series of controversial decisions, between massive layoffs and even a murky editorial strategy (releasing its exclusives outside the Xbox ecosystem). It was entirely possible to see this destruction as a punishment against the face of the brand – knowing that Phil Spencer plays a lot between two meetings at the top (https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/1734661463242068097/history). Alas, Joe Grizzly Bitch’s quest has no political flavor.
