Real Honest conversation. Fair play to Kindafunny and Phil
Fair play to Phil? That there’s part of your problem as a customer.
It wasn’t honest phill was told to say these things he is in way over his head phill did this interview the day after redfall released it was damage control
Yes admitting that it is over for them
I don’t like lobbying for anyone to lose their lively hood… BUT Phil… C’mon SON..
respect to phil indeed
Congratulations for both the interviewers and Phil. This was a monster and honest interview, extremely informative and without hiding. Kudos to you all
Despite everything, I gotta salute Phil for still coming onto the show and answering tough questions.
What a great episode, with even better conversation. Kudos to everyone here, KF bringing the questions and concerns and Phil, for honestly answering them.
Mike absolutely crushed hosting that interview with Phil Spenser. I mean that was some of the best interviewing talent I’ve seen in years. Was incredibly respectful but did ask all the perfect hard hitting questions we all were thinking and even having follow up questions the moment they popped into our heads as long as the timing was right.
Also gathering a great amount of information from Phil when he looked like he was about to cry yet never once came off rude or in any way a bad person was so great!
The amount of information we all know because of this X-Cast is weeks if not months of material (if I cared to do so).
Anyways you gained my respect SnowBikeMike. That was great!
This should get some kind of award for honesty and just being a good interview! Hats off XCAST crew!
really impressed with everyone at not shying away from tough questions. great job KF
Somebody should’ve at least brought up 343i and that whole debacle. I don’t think Phil ever said anything about that situation.
True
@Faksakesobviously he didn’t and that’s not really relevant here. They are moving on and will have protections in place to prevent a reoccurrence
Why didn’t they ask him if he played the game before release? Most obvious thing to ask.
Props to all 4 men involved. Clearly not easy to do this week but as stated throughout the interview, transparency is always respected in hard times. Still looking forward to the showcase! *cough* Bring BANJO *cough*
This is yhe kind of interviews we expect as fans who are watching media interviews with big company execs .
Quality was high .
Lots of appreciation to the entire xcast team.
Really well done KF XCast team. The questions got straight to the heart of what Xgamers wanted to know and Phil’s responses and taking responsibility were appreciated
