Ryggraden om att Phil Spencer ska l\u00e4mna Xbox har cirkulerat p\u00e5 sociala medier, startad av n\u00e5gon k\u00e4nd som GhostOfHope. Men Microsoft s\u00e4ger att detta inte \u00e4r sant \u2013 minst inte just nu. Kari Perez, Xbox:s kommunikationschef, bekr\u00e4ftade f\u00f6r The Verge uttryckligen att Spencer har inga planer p\u00e5 att g\u00e5 i pension. D\u00e4remot ser det ut som om han navigerar en av de sv\u00e5raste perioderna i Xbox:s historia. N\u00e5gra ifr\u00e5gas\u00e4tter om det \u00e4r ett bra id\u00e9 att ha honom kvar, d\u00e5 kostnaderna kan bli h\u00f6ga. Sedan 2014 har Phil Spencer varit ansikte p\u00e5 Xbox:s \u00e5teruppst\u00e5ndelse \u2013 lanserande Series X|S, byggande upp Game Pass, k\u00f6p av stora f\u00f6retag som ZeniMax och Activision Blizzard, till och med \u00f6ppnandet f\u00f6r konkurrerande plattformar som PlayStation och Switch. P\u00e5 papper verkar det allt utom bra. Men bakom den korporata ber\u00e4ttelsen finns mycket sm\u00e4rta. Xbox g\u00e5r genom en ovanligt h\u00e5rd kris: tusentals avsked, st\u00e4ngda studior (The Initiative), inst\u00e4llda spel (Perfect Dark, Everwild, Blackbird) och l\u00e5g anda bland anst\u00e4llda. Med allt detta p\u00e5 g\u00e5ngen ser det inte ut som att ha Spencer i spetsen \u00e4r ett tecken p\u00e5 stabilitet; ist\u00e4llet ser det ut mer som en system som v\u00e4grar ta en h\u00e5rd titt p\u00e5 sig sj\u00e4lv.<\/p>\n
Microsofts officiella uttalande \u00e4r kortv\u00e4xtigt. Det utmanar inte ryggraden (om att Xbox l\u00e4mnar efter n\u00e4sta spelkonsol), det bara s\u00e4ger ”inte \u00e4nnu”. Det handlar d\u00e4rf\u00f6r inte om avg\u00e5ng, men det finns inget v\u00e4gledningsprogram och ingen information om Xboxes nuvarande status. Phil Spencer \u00e4r inte i pension, men han styr en Xbox som verkar som om den \u00e4ts sig sj\u00e4lv \u2013 studior och anst\u00e4llda avskedas f\u00f6r integrering, tillv\u00e4xt och ”prioritering av m\u00f6jligheter”. Det k\u00e4nns ut som ett skepp utan kompass, d\u00e4r \u00e4ven markevents avskrivs med ingen varning. Skall vi skaka p\u00e5 sig f\u00f6r att Spencer stannar? Os\u00e4kerhet. Tyv\u00e4rr s\u00e5 ser det ut mer som om det \u00e4r en system som v\u00e4grar ta en h\u00e5rd titt p\u00e5 sig sj\u00e4lv. Det kan k\u00e4nnas lite som en eldsv\u00e5da i Xbox-huvudkontoret, men just nu s\u00e4ger brandchefen inte att han planerat att sl\u00e4cka elden… Ouch.<\/p>\n
Xbox HQ \u00e4r eldande (Ablaze) – den verkar utseende sv\u00e5rare \u00e4n vanligt. H\u00e4r har en stor del av personalen f\u00f6rts bort, flera spel \u00e4r inst\u00e4llda och andan hos anst\u00e4llda \u00e4r l\u00e5g. Trots allt forts\u00e4tter Phil Spencer som chef. Han kallas f\u00f6r huvudet p\u00e5 Xbox:s omvandling (modern Xbox model). Detta har varit en framg\u00e5ngsrik ombyggnad, men nu verkar den att g\u00e5 ut av steget. Det \u00e4r os\u00e4kert hur de kommande \u00e5ren ska se ut f\u00f6r Xbox, men just nu verkar det som om det finns mycket sm\u00e4rta bakom korporata ber\u00e4ttelsen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
