Player in Fallout 76 Launches Nuclear Attack on Gaming Executive’s Camp After Xbox Disappointment

A video game Wasteland

The news around the Xbox is rather dark. There have been numerous studio closures, exclusive games being moved to other platforms, rumors of Game Pass price increases… in short, it's starting to mean a lot to some fans.

Microsoft seems to have been particularly quiet lately. Despite the imminent release of Hellblade 2, we don't hear much about the Ninja Theory title. Some players find that the American giant's marketing strategy, in general, is not sufficient. In addition, a new controller was announced on the same day as the studio closure announcement, which was unfortunate timing in terms of communications.. A coincidence that does not go down very well with the community. Needless to say, it's not easy to come to terms with being a fan of Xbox lately.

Obviously, with all these problems, it is Phil Spencer who is named as the culprit. Current head of gaming at Microsoft, he is the perfect scapegoat to explain the difficulties the company is encountering. One player in particular doesn't seem to want to give up his thirst for revenge against the American businessman and has decided to send him a nuclear bomb! In Fallout 76 Of course.

An X user shows an image of the game map Fallout 76, on which we see a radioactive red zone. We can read: “Lol someone bombed Phil Spencer's camp in Fallout 76”. Named “real1090jake”, the player has long wanted to compete against Phil Spencer in Bethesda's MMORPG, but never did. After several missteps on the part of the business manager, coupled with the brand's communication concerns, the player could not contain himself and pressed the red button. Social networks seem to be on their side, we hope that this bombing will not create more tension than there already is between society and the community.
