The staging came to light when everyone started screaming with joy and clapping when the head of Microsoft Gaming spoke about layoffs and the closure of the Tango Gameworks studio
The IGN portal recently interviewed Phil Spencer, during which the head of Microsoft's gaming division was asked about Xbox and the closure of studios.
Users found it strange that those present in the hall were too actively rejoicing at Spencer’s statements and began to applaud when he did not give a clear answer to the question of why Microsoft closed several studios at once, including Tango Gameworks.
“Sometimes I have to make difficult decisions that I’m not happy with. We will continue to move forward, we will continue to invest in our projects to build a better business and be able to continue to put on shows like this [Xbox Games Showcase 2024]”,” Spencer said.
As it turned out, the organizers asked people to shout, rejoice and clap, promising valuable prizes like gaming headsets to the most active ones. Bruno Rodriguez, who was present at the event, noted that IGN regularly creates the appearance of interest and joy among viewers, and the case of Phil Spencer cannot be considered unique.
