>it feels so similar to when people claimed Phil Spencer was going to save Xbox.
Well, he did. He bought up a ton of studios and focused on games again. in 2014 they were completely tonedeaf to the state of not just games, but media as a whole. Cable box subscriptions even in 2014 for their 8th generation console was just horrible optics.
Now, is it his fault directly that the game development per studio is slow, or the releases uneven? He's probably not blameless, but MS isn't really known to intervene nor micromanage their studios. IMO that's a much bigger issue than any single MS studio.
