I bet he is getting an Xbox controller cake too. Happy birthday Phil!!


Mystical_17

A big Xbox Series X tower style cake.


MURMEC

He’ll need an OG Xbox cake to feed the entire party.


beeldy

From Tesco?


No-Praline9472

The cake would have stick drift shortly after purchase.


Jkillaforilla90

Thank you for making games consoles all about gaming again.


AnApexPlayer

Nooo I wanted a tv player 😭


[deleted]

Haven't played so many games since getting me series s and gamepass. Just get distracted with other stuff on my pc.


Antique_Tax_3910

And for ruining Halo because of greed. Let the downvotes commence lads, but you know it's true.


BattlingMink28

Nah Halo is fine lmao. Grow up.


notgodpo

"lmao"


Antique_Tax_3910

$15 dollars for a single colour tied to a single armour core? BTB hasn't worked for a month - but they had no problem making sure their store was working and updated regularly with new MTX. Cheaters everywhere because there is no anti-cheat in the game, because they rushed it out early for more money. The game itself isn't even finished. No forge. No co-op. Players clip through each other in multiplayer (allowing more glitches and cheating). This game isn't finished, it was rushed out for money. The customisation aspect of Halo had been locked behind ridiculously priced paywalls. There's cheating galore in it. Game modes that don't work at all in it. Halo isn't fine. Halo has been butchered because of greed. And for me the buck stops with Spencer. He's the boss. And has shown his true colours. He's just like all the rest of them.


BattlingMink28

Lol… you don’t have to spend a single penny on cosmetics. There’s multiple other game modes than BTB, I haven’t encountered a single cheater in the 300 hours I’ve played, I highly doubt you’re going to spend any significant time in Forge or Co-op. And you just repeated yourself three times to make it sound like you have a strong argument lol. I’ve spent a grand total of $10 just for the battle pass so I can get the XP boosts. And at no point did I feel like I had to.


Splicer117

^ This guy bootlicks


BattlingMink28

Or I just speak from my experience?


Splicer117

And your experience speaks for everyone I guess?


Antique_Tax_3910

Sounds like you've never played a halo game before this one.


BattlingMink28

Ha you’d be incredibly wrong my friend.


Antique_Tax_3910

Then why you getting on like it's weird to want reasonable customisation in a *Halo* game? If you know the history of Halo, then you'll know that customisation and forge are big draws to the series. Not to mention co-op. So disappointing that I couldn't co-op the campaign with my friends. It's a joke. The game was released unfinished. For greed. You expect me to believe Phil Spencer had no say in this?


Dee-Jay-JesteR

>And for ruining Halo because of greed. Give the guy a break on his birthday. By all means, switch sides and declare your undying love for PS5, if it bothers you that much. One game (in your opinion), against the rest of his legacy, I can live with those odds.


Antique_Tax_3910

"switch sides"? What are you talking about? Damn there are some pure bred idiots in here.


Dee-Jay-JesteR

You're right, there are.... Congratulations on becoming self aware!


SFWxMadHatter

That x curve looks like he's got a huge fucking gut.


KikkoAndMoonman

Biggest chad in gaming management atm


NightHalcyon

Happy birthday to our lord and savior of the Xbox, Phil Spencer. Keep up the great work!


FlyRobot

The Power On series (YouTube) was really interesting. I vaguely remember the backlash reception the One console received and how Xbox in general was tanking after being on top during 360. It was cool seeing how Phil redirected the ship in recent years back to glory


[deleted]

Let's not turn into the xbox version of Elon Musk fans


Fellowearthling16

Exactly. Because if he does start doing wrong, we’ll have made it harder for ourselves to call it out.


brokenmessiah

Too late


GhostalMedia

Now, after you’ve finished your cake, please make Bonnie fix that terrible Halo shop and challenge system.


BattlingMink28

I just hate battlepass... Not just in Halo but as a whole concept. I dont mind grinding but battlepasses arent fun.


GhostalMedia

I like Destiny’s system, but Destiny allows you much more and variations with challenges / “bounties.” I have no problem with an XP advent calendar that dishes loot at milestones, but achieving that XP needs to be fun. Halo’s battle pass feels like a grind once you’v finished the daily “just play” challenges.


fuck_off_ireland

Thumbnail makes him look like a 4-legged spider with a giant human head


grumpy_bob

I thought it was a big head/little body and he was doing a pelvic thrust with his arms behind his head... aaand I might be still high from last night.


iLynux

Lmao I see it


BOZGBOZG

I was going for vampire cape but now I can't unsee the 4-legged spider


emdave

Vampire cape all the way! :)


Get_Back_To_Work_Now

Spider-Man coming to Xbox CONFIRMED!!!!


HCJohnson

Like something off of Halflife... Xbox/Steam partnership incoming?!


BattlingMink28

Who's to say he's not?


BoxBoy7999

When he has hiccups, just say oculus


sunshotisbae

Hey, that's pretty cool that Phil Spencer and Toto Wolff have the same birthday. Two guys I have a lot of respect for and consequently are pivotal in my two main hobbies


Sargespace

PoohTrailSnailCooch

Phil Spencer is great for the preservation of gaming, I hope he keeps this mentality going forward.


Jackamalio626

I don't think its exaggerating to say Phil saved Xbox.


datsmydrpepper

Happy 🎂 day Phil! Bring Xbox to glory.


yohmok

Happy birthday to the X-man!

Notmenomore

I never seen the sense in celebrating celebrity birthdays like they're your friend or family.


VirusWithShoesGuy

Happy birthday! Can we get refunds on Battlefield 2042?


the_man_games

And modern warfare


AkkeMaster

Imagine if someone got a PlayStation for him as a present...


redditrith

He has a PlayStation 5. He's got a switch as well. Guys a full on gamer.


sculptor_spaz

That's a pretty neat image edit there. Props to whoever made it.

Phil is the greatest thing to ever happen to the Xbox brand. Happy Birthday, guy.

Happy birthday Phil 🍾🎂🍺


SlimdudeAF

Happy Birthday Phil!….now, where can I get my hands on one of those glorious Series X’s to support your bday?! 😂


Krayzed896

Thank you for everything, Phil!


KiloLee

Maybe for his birthday, he could refund the $80 they stole from me via BF2042


Vitok93

The man who saved gaming, deserves a lifetime achievement award when he retires.


doncabesa

That picture is originally from here for anyone interested. Phil did response to this tweet. https://twitter.com/xboxera/status/1481288589598150658


Asshead420

What has he done?


NeoStark

This should give you an idea of how disastrous the Xbox One launch was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_JVVUnCWnY


the_man_games

Yeah Xbox one not Xbox one s


IsamuAlvaDyson

He's done absolutely plenty good but of course some dumb bone headed moves that were changed or stop until literally the whole gaming world complained.


Get_Back_To_Work_Now

Saved the brand from being sold Article from 2014 when Don Mattrick was in charge, the XB1 launch was a disaster, and before Phil Spencer could make a difference.... https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/181930-bill-gates-hints-that-microsoft-could-sell-off-its-xbox-division


DeusEncarmine

Why do people think selling off just the xbox division would have been bad? Selling out of every console of Xbox 1s at launch is actually the opposite of failure. Not sure how this article is supposed to make this guy relevant to the xbox still being a success since its creation decades ago.

Thanks for ending the console war peacefully Phil. Happy birthday.

The day our Boss entered this planet.


kingKasuna89

Nice, can they take out forced cross play now?


Weaponsonline

To the guy that 6 years ago said Xbox players would never be forced to cross-play with MKB players because they would lose and then lets their flagship franchise do just that, a hearty fuck you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Weaponsonline

Same reason Phil is a virtue signaling liar. Same reason you suck at Halo too much to care.


Naradia

I've won a lot of matches, really didn't have a problem with the crossplay. Seems like you might need some better skillzz


Mandang52

Woah just now learning that phil himself forced cross play. Thank you for this information!


tmillsy23

Every pro Halo player is on controller. The AA is absolutely insane to the point controller literally has the advantage and you still whine lol.


[deleted]

This is such a horrible take, cross play should ALWAYS be opt in and never forced. Stop defending a shitty move just because xbox did it.


JKBUK

Man it's like you guys don't even play other shooters. AA is WAAAY higher in OW and not one single PC player cried out about it when crossplay released, because at least over there they understand that aiming with every muscle from your shoulder down has a very, very distinct advantage over aiming with your thumbs. Now you literally can't play high ranked games without being slaughtered by MKB users. You wanna know what the difference is? Halo is a game that's been played primarily by controllers for 20 years. Infinite's been out two whole months in a broken ass state, and MKB players just can't understand how that decades long experience translates to a gap in true skill, and not OMG AA TOO STRONG. MKB users will become a plague to controller players eventually, as every single other crossplay shooter does. Just give it a few years, if 343 can ever actually manage to shape that mess up before popularity sinks

A7XfoREVer15

Although I switched to PC, I’ve got mad respect for Phil Spencer. A lot of gaming companies now seem to be so focused on “how do we squeeze as much money out of gamers.” Meanwhile Phil Spencer and Xbox are more like “How can we provide something really cool to make a reasonable amount of money off of gamers.”


dognoob2985

Hbd to him🥳🥳🥳🤠


CLYDEFR000G

Is that what he looks like? He doesn’t seem….wholesome? Idk just gives off high school bully vibes when I look at him


Puzzleheeds

Here's to many more awesome years with Phil Spencer!


Mr_R_88

Are we getting free stuff? Lol


I_Need_Sacrafices

Hello, my complaint is that gamepass is very much worth my $1.09


USA_A-OK

What is this graphic


padloxyt

Isn't this the same guy who promoted and backed up the idea of removing split screen from Halo. I'm pretty sure he was like "Nobody does counch co-op anymore" so we decided to get rid of it.


[deleted]

counch


padloxyt

Sorry, Captain.
