@XBrassa Boa tarde, gostaria de replicar seu artigo, devidamente creditado e linkado ao seu X, no meu projeto de site brasileiro sobre games, com ênfase no PC. pcismogamer.com.br. Me permite faze-lo?

Thanks for the suggestion and for taking the time to comment! 👍 I'm currently working on a bigger article about the double standards in gaming press between Xbox and PlayStation. I'll be covering each journalist and outlet individually over the next few days, including Tom Henderson and Insider Gaming. Stay tuned, more posts coming very soon!

@XBrassa You should add tom Henderson and insider gaming to the list

Good morning! Today I’m writing an article about the double standard in specialized video game journalism when it comes to Sony/PlayStation and Xbox/Microsoft. These are the outlets I know and have had direct contact with: International:IGN, GameSpot, Digital Foundry, Polygon, Kotaku, Eurogamer, and Geoff Keighley (The Game Awards) Brazilian:Flow Games Spanish:3DJuegos, Vandal, Hobby Consolas In the coming days I’ll go through them case by case with concrete examples. This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a pattern many people have been pointing out for years, and it deserves to be addressed with facts. Stay tuned — the article will be published today throughout the day.

Sony PlayStation and Its Anti-Consumer Practices: What Many Players Can No Longer Tolerate I’m spending today putting together an article on Sony PlayStation’s anti-consumer practices. We’re going to talk about the things that have been bothering a lot of players for years — with clear examples. Be honest: What’s the one Sony/PlayStation practice that pisses you off the most right now? Comment below👇.Full article dropping later today.

This game’s art style is unreal — that neon and rust color palette hits different. Only a few hours into REPLACED so far but I’m already invested. Let’s see where the story takes me 👀

Hey Jen, I totally agree. It’s genuinely hard to say anything good about Booty at this point. He feels like a man stuck in the past. If Xbox really wants to turn things around and find success again, they shouldn’t have him managing the internal studios anymore. His leadership has been nothing but arrogance and opacity, and the results speak for themselves.

@XBrassa @JezCorden I feel like I never hear good things about Booty. He’s either really arrogant (from those leaked emails) or opaque.

Hi @JezCorden, I’m a long-time Xbox fan and follower of your coverage. I wanted to share some honest community feedback regarding the current leadership situation. Asha Sharma’s arrival as Xbox CEO created real hope. She spoke about returning to Xbox’s roots, focusing on hardware, core console fans, fixing fundamentals, affordability, and delivering great first-party games. Her early memos and statements acknowledged player frustrations and promised a clearer direction. It felt like a much-needed reset. However, Matt Booty (now EVP and Chief Content Officer) continues to send confusing, ambiguous messages that dilute that momentum. His comments about “nothing is off the table” regarding exclusivity, multiplatform releases, windowing, and other topics create mixed signals right after Asha’s promising start. This leaves fans uncertain about Xbox’s true direction: Are we doubling down on console identity and strong exclusives, or continuing with broader dilution? Booty has valuable experience, but his history with studio closures, cancellations, and past strategies (like aggressive Game Pass pushes) makes his current role in shaping the narrative problematic at this critical transition. The community needs clear, unified messaging — not ambiguity that erodes trust. Asha has the chance to define a new era. Allowing mixed signals from Booty risks weakening her strong opening. Xbox deserves aligned leadership that speaks with one clear, confident voice focused on players and the platform’s identity. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this dynamic. Keep up the great reporting. Best regards,

Thank you so much Andreas, I really appreciate it 🙏 Glad you liked the post and shared it. At this crucial turning point with Asha Sharma leading, we’re only asking for one clear and unique vision for Xbox. Everyone inside the company should be aligned with that same vision and work as a truly united team. Nothing more. We don’t want to keep seeing daily contradictions from people who should already be part of the past. Hopefully this time things will finally be different. Thanks again for the support 💚

@XBrassa @JezCorden This is an good read. I´ve shared your opinion. 💚

Only Asha and Matthew Ball should be the official voices giving interviews and communicating Xbox’s strategy. Matt Booty is creating more confusion than clarity with this so-called “new reboot.” He represents the past — that old management style that has been synonymous with inefficiency, canceled projects, broken promises, and erratic direction at Xbox Game Studios for years. It’s time to leave that era behind. Seeing Matthew Ball speak clearly about the need for a steady flow of exclusive games and positioning titles like Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution as the first real steps is exactly the kind of coherent and hopeful message the community has been waiting for. Booty belongs to the problem era. Ball seems focused on actual solutions. We don’t need more noise or contradictory interviews that end up confusing players. We need consistency, and right now only Asha and Matthew Ball are delivering that. The rest should stay in the background and let the people who actually understand where Xbox needs to go do the talking.#XBOX💚

Just let this one @ballmatthew talk. That’s it. This is the ANTI Booty . This is the biggest XBOX weapon. Common motherfucking sense.

@IdleSloth84_ Wow, he made it as clear as mud.

@JezCorden Thanks Jez, appreciate the reply! Totally agree, the mixed signals are really annoying. Hoping for clearer leadership soon. Thanks for the coverage! 💚

@XBrassa I agree the mixed signals are annoying

Asha Sharma chegou com força: prometeu voltar às raízes da Xbox, priorizar hardware, grandes jogos e consertar os problemas que os fãs tanto sentem. Foi um ótimo começo. Infelizmente, Matt Booty segue mandando mensagens confusas e ambíguas sobre exclusividade e o futuro da marca. Depois de anos em cargos importantes e várias decisões questionáveis, ele está enfraquecendo esse novo momento. Xbox precisa de clareza, não de mais dúvida. Asha merece um time alinhado para liderar de verdade. Chega de mensagens mistas que só geram frustração.

Pessoal, acabei de ler o relatório sobre a estratégia de jogos exclusivos no Xbox e, sinceramente, fiquei inseguro. 🫤 Nós, fãs, já estamos cansados dessa história de "caso a caso". Não adianta o Reset XBOX se continuar com essa velha estratégia de fortace a Concorrência. @XBOX

Matt Booty should no longer represent Xbox. He represents the past and the old ‘case by case’ approach that caused so much confusion. His messages are not consistent with Asha Sharma’s clear vision of returning to the essentials: strong hardware and exclusives that give real reasons to choose Xbox. Instead of helping, he’s confusing the community. It’s time for a unified and consistent message.

Let me simplify this to its simplest form. Everyone that’s a XBOX fan or someone who potentially can come to XBOX wants XBOX to either be all in about XBOX and SP exclusives vs sometimes in sometimes out wishy washy Booty talk. People like security and concrete know what you are getting message. How MATT doesn’t know this at this point goes to show you that he suffers from that eerie disconnect that was prevalent under Phil’s leadership.
