Rand playing suicide squad and now saying he will play the banishers but still not touching cyberpunk kind of support jez's theory that he is a trending gamer
Trendy/hipster gamer
You've just triggered him and next podcast we will get a 5 minute RandRant about how he's not a trending gamer.
lol. Rand always the trending hipster!
Ha Trending hipster camera shy podcaster that's still the best lol

As always, you're the true hero
@@dbcooper409ty mate
I am one of the games pass subscribers and I don't care what you thunk of 34 million subscribers 34 million is not a drop in the bucket
Those are not all gamepass subscribers. They are gamepass core which is Xbox live gold. That’s pretty bad
They are all players on Xbox…which is pretty good.
@@Amearie Even if all of those subscribers were Core paying $10/moth, thats $4.08b/year. With supposedly 12m of those 34m subscribers being core and the other 22m being GPU members, thats $6,192,000,000 that GP is generating every year. There is no way to spin that to where those are bad numbers.
@@jubei20111 You realise that means they haven’t had any increase in subscribers for 2 years then since they last reported their subscriber number in 2022. That is abysmal I’m sorry. If you have ever worked for a company, you know they don’t accept flat or declining growth.
@@Amearie Subscription revenue increased by double digits last quarter. If you've ever worked for a company the most important metric is the money something is generating.
With the rising costs of games and shrinking margins we will see a future where either there are no true exclusives or games will be $100-$150. I think timed exclusivity will more and more start to replace actual exclusivity. We already see Sony not being happy with the status quo and they are the "market leader".
"Rand are you clean or trimmed" lmao Manscaped quote of the year.
When someone says "it is being considered" and then it doesn't happen, then he is not necessarily wrong.
I straight up don’t understand Jez saying for them to buy more publishers when their house is already on fire with Bethesda and ABK
they're clearly just dipping their toe in the water with these four games but the writing is on the wall for the future.
Yep, and the future is bright for gaming all around
Yeah not just for Xbox. Xbox is looking great to invest in now
Phil stated not to take this move as a hint to the future of what they will do with other games.
@@RinzlerAkiraPhil says a lot. If you still believe his lies that's on you.
Colin was going round congratulating himself prior to the podcast about Gamepass having to change and not being sustainable and lo and behold, no changes to Gamepass at all and ABK games coming day one.
Nice camera next week!! Finally!! Thanks rand thanks jez!!
As long as i have a box to play on i don't care about cross platform gaming. I only have time for 1 or 2 hours a day to play i work way to much
Jez! Ignore the haters, we love you 🙂
Good to hear a xbox podcast be critical, open & truthful about the current state of Xbox. Unlike some of the other Xbox centric podcasts
03:09:48 Hue does want Gyro - thanks 😂
Nintendo are Xbox friends in that they aren’t actively looking to lock 3rd party games or content away from Xbox like PlayStation do
Basically, Phil saying "When everybody plays, we all win" was not Kumbaya. It's his destination.
I a old man but all these stupid companies should have put games every wear back in the 80s
It’s funny all these leaks came out right after Microsoft laid off so many people. It’s a good chance that a disgruntled employee started to spew information.
leaks from where? Nate the drake .. xbox era quoting Nate the drake whoever he quoted.. that means the employee did that? THERE WAS DISGRUNTLED employees.. and also employees that were fired but MOVED to other parts of Microsoft.
Let me finish you, this.... A disgruntled woman that worked at MS did a twitter post, I need to look it up again, she said STOP pushing me. I hate that I got fired, but I am not hating on xbox. SO your theory of a employee who knew there is HUGE changes coming with MS+abk deal... they got MOVED and now they want to attack the #1 brand with MOST companies...
Exclusive is the reason I have a PS5, If I could have all those games on Xbox then I wouldn't need it.
Exclusive can't go away at console level, certainly can go PC ethier day one or some time after.
What's harder:
- Making room for a PS5?
- Setting up a webcam?
Phil did say that the fundamental exclusive buisness model hasn’t changed for them.
He also gave criteria for games that could go to other consoles.
Older(more than a year)
Growth potential has stopped(no one is playing HiFi or Pentiment anymore)
Community based games(Grounded and Sea of Thieves)
I think if we get all these games in Game Pass day 1 on Xbox/PC and if some smaller titles need some more sales(for studio cash flow) or some multiplayer(not Halo/Gears/Forza) games could use a community boost for growth.
I have no problem with that happening for 1+ year old games.
It did change though. 4 Xbox games are going to Nintendo and PlayStation. Stop falling for Phil’s corporate speak. Gullible af.
@@cchhen21it did not, bc I bet you doom and elderscrolls 6 will be exclusive. Colin pony man said it wouldn’t before this update.
@@cchhen21 they putting indie and kiddy games on PS. who cares. meanwhile we get an expensive sony AAA game on gamepass day 1(MLB) while you donkey's have to play full price. also marathon and all future bungie games going to xbox. have fun playing grounded and sea of piss. at least you may finally have a decent game on ps(hifi rush)
@@jhowlett1264 You’re delusional if you think it stops at just 4 games. Keep riding Phil’s nuts and believing everything he says.
That's true, but he also confirmed by saying "smaller" games... and year(s) later.... and when asked about the bigger games he said NO. NO.. and then said AGAIN " please don't use this as a speculation that MORE BIG GAMES are coming" he said DON'T use this as speculation..
You can believe Nate the drake or not.. you can believe XBOX 3 PRESIDENTS or not.. but I will believe them a bit for now... 2024-2025, no BIG games.. my take.. 2026 around there MAYBE 1 or 2 medium-big games that means NOTHING like what was said.. XBOX DYING NOW,, ALL GAMES MOVING NOW..
I think they won't start with forza gears halo..? WHY? those are doing INSANE only on Xbox brand and GROWING... they don't need to take those out first.. maybe bigger exclusives that aren't GROWING.. like REDFALL.... not Forza halo infinite or starfield which all are still growing and GREAT incentives to buy xbox.. ALONGSIDE 2024 INDy jones (exclusive brand) Avowed + Hellblade 2 and most likely Gears 6/collection and/or Fable next gen needs to launch soon. Phil said if any game is read to show and LAUNCH in 2022 was FABLE.
For me this issue has highlighted the divide within the Xbox community. Those who play on console and those who don't. Those genuinely care about the fate of the console and those who don't. In my opinion PC players aren't Xbox players.
Wwe raw is coming to Netflix,
The network is there for live events for free. They don't show raw/smackdown live because fox and USA network have 4 week exclusivity.
Oh yeah... the problem was the rumors didn't fit peoples narratives. That was totally the problem.
"Im sorry". Is not that hard.
Listen, it was great playing ps5 even though I wasn't but this is xbox's year x1000 and they have to know it. I think they're not only going to dominate this year, I think they're going to change their image completely.
2:22:54 um Jez...Playstation Plus
To hear jez talk about skull and bones while knowing ign gave it a 7 make me wonder… is all 7 rated evenly? Would you guys see a 7 and feel like these two games are just as good as the other
No bc no one listens to ign
Is this comment satire on how illiterate most gamers are?
Starfield is 3 times better than Skull and Bones. I played Starfield over 80 hours and Skull and Bones over 20 hours. I'd give Skull and Bones a 3/10 and Starfield an 8.
I’ve been a Xbox, PS, and PC gamer since 1976 when my mom dropped a TRS-80 onto the dining room table and announced, “I don’t know what to do with it but it is the future.” We programmed a simple game similar to missile command.
It’s never been about the hardware for me, just the games. I have invested a lot of time and fun into Xbox. Over the past ten days the controversy over hardware hurt it’s brand for no reason. I am checking out each Xbox podcast to see if each of the “boys who cried wolf” would apologize, not deflect or rationalize. Unfortunately most of the Xbot podcasters have chosen the latter two. 😢
Agreed. Xbox took such a bad public relations hit from these leaks, they had to change thier schedule, & called for an emergency podcast to stop the bleeding. How somebody isnt getting thier ass sued into oblivion is beyond me. Sony would not tolerate this stuff & Nintendo damn sure wouldn't put up with it.
Do we have any Update on gears 6? Almost 5 years since Gears 5 and nothing official Till now
Nick/xboxera getting it right about Sonys state of play doesn’t equal they know business plans of high execs lol getting info from TH-cam backend isn’t the same.
Thought they would get more console gamers during Covid but they just didn't? What is Jez talking about, there was a console shortage for most of Covid. The current consoles are dead narrative is BS. Even with the console shortage for a year or so and a bad economy, PS5 has sold as many as PS4 in same amount of time. And switch is set to become the best selling console of all time. Console sales are cyclical just like the economy, they are not going anywhere. Especially, if we start to see more powerful portable/dockable style consoles.
Pirates Legend of Black Kat is still the best pirate game.
I wonder how PlayStation will play this. They either help the games from Microsoft flourish showing ftc/cma that the games should come to their platform or don’t and if Microsoft buy another publisher, maybe in Japan, Microsoft can point to the fact Sony don’t want Microsoft to succeed at all cost.
At no point was their a narrative that Skull and Bones was going to be great and usurp Sea of Thieves. Why does Rand need to make things up when there’s so many real reasons to roast Skull and Bones.
There definitely was around the time of the announcement. I've seen plenty of posts online mocking them this week.
@@MalarcusXD I’m sure there were a few individuals that were optimistic about the game but the vast, vast majority were negative on it from the moment it was revealed.
Timestamps might as well be, Start... Finish
Game Pass Ultimate and WOW subscription will merge to increase Game Pass Ultimate subscriber member count.
None of the core Xbox games will go to PlayStation, that’s what I got from the Xbox podcast. Smaller games and creator service games is a possibility. I would like it if we could stop speculate on whatever game is going to other platforms until Xbox announce it.
I don't really care that much about exclusivity. What I was worried about was the health and viability of Xbox as a platform. Putting all of Xbox big games on PlayStation and Nintendo would completely undermine the idea of Xbox as a platform. It's common sense, who would buy an Xbox if you could get all Xbox games and PlayStation games on one box? The platform would start to shrink and would likely mean less developers would release games for Xbox. That's what I cared about. Now, if you're talking about Starfield coming to PS5 in like 2028, WHO CARES? At that point the game will be 5 years old and with all the stuff Xbox has in development, nobody will be thinking about Starfield as a big console seller.
How do we know that some ppl who didn't want any games to go to other platforms. But after the podcast they realized that its out of their control. They barked and clawed to hopefully discourage xbox to not do that, but xbox told them "Hey we are doing it, sorry not sorry, but it isn't starfielf or Indiana" So what's the better of the 2 evils now ? Kick and scream on def ears forever or chill out a bit now because you did what you could, but that's all you can do. 🤷♂️ just saying
Did you really watch the Xbox Podcast Rand, Phil Spencer said he would start with ABK news, but because of all the rumors he wanted to tackle the exclusivity question first. Your reasoning doesn’t make sense. They wouldn’t jump right into the games going to other platforms. 🤦♀️
Dunnt Nod?
You all make a very good point, I bet being more multiplatform means Obsidian is one step closer to making a New Vegas 2
Haven’t watched wrestling since the Attitude era. When Stone Cold left, I stopped watching. There is no one more popular than Stone Cold
damn I thought that Skull and Bones was adding Pirate to Pirate combat, with Assassins creed style combat, and thats why there were so many extra delays.
If Xbox wants to release games on their competitor's platform and not expect their fans to instead buy all their games on that platform then give them a reason. How about Xbox games cost Sony prices? Just charge Sony double what they charge Xbox players and then no one feels betrayed. It's not like Playstation users haven't been gouged for years already, they can handle it.
Microsoft should change call of duty so you need an Xbox account instead of Blizzard.
Killer Instinct should not go Anywhere!!!
I think it's Grounded too but State of Decay 2 also makes sense. Get that on PS5, launch 3 on Xbox within six months or a year. Grounded could go later?
Here’s to the Alex Jones podcast of gaming podcasts.
Thank you for the free laughs and entertainment
Colin Moriarty is a massive unapologetic Playstation fanboy, eager to jump on anything negative toward Xbox and blind to the failings and struggles of his prized pony.
Yes he's a fanboy. But he will also criticize Sony plenty as well.
Actually I agree with jez, rand you have bad taste in games. I'm utterly shocked that you thought suicide squad was better than diabolo 4 😂🤦♂️
If you don't think eventually all Xbox games will be released on PlayStation you're delusional. This is the exact same PR statement Phil made with PC releases. They left the door open which should tell you everything.
Ran I have a ps 5 and I am not going to sub to play the game he'll diver's it won't be that big a game and wen did steam become the yard stick for how well a game is
Are you okay?
4 games to start the end of console gaming.
The end of XBOX console gaming.
@cchhen21 will be bigger than that by the end my friend.
@@cchhen21 If you think Sony isn't looking at the future of the console and seeing how its slowing dying, then you're not paying attention.
@@UndisputedNerd Yes, Microsoft will be the biggest 3rd party publisher in gaming.
@@RinzlerAkira Maybe, but we know for sure the Xbox is dying a lot quicker.
No no rand I'm sorry but suicide squad is worst kind of woke dog shit! It is a disgrace and has absolutely nothing to do with the batman trilogy. What they did to the justice league in suicide squad was down right disgusting 😒
It is very clearly 4 small games _for now_ . It takes very little reading between the lines to understand this is just the first batch of likely many more to come (depending on how it goes, as Jez said). I like their plan overall though. I think it makes sense given the state of the industry.
(Hope a game like Halo Infinite's multiplayer is in the second batch).
It won’t be.
"There'll be coverage coming soon to the website" excuse me.... Why the hell would anyone care about coverage coming to a website. Literally all of gaming journalism is built on absolute lies. You lost all credibility this past week, and you will never regain it.
Phil Spencer and Microsoft played y’all Xbox fans lmao. Y’all should be embarrassed. 😂😂😂
Redfall is better than halo, how sad is that.
?
No it's really not tho 😂
Where you get that from..by no metric is Redfall better than Halo...
Halo MCC is a thing and doing great..
Halo tv show is garbage imo..but normies seem to like it..
Infinite is in a good place..in terms of content..
Whats even sadder is ps fanboys want redfall because they have no exclusive first person shooters
@@IlIiliIliIlno, the game is booming on Xbox. Steam numbers are no where near similar to Xbox numbers
