Xbox Boss’s Base Destroyed in Fallout 76 by Unknown Attacker

Phil Spencer lost his base in Fallout 76, a video game which has regained some color since the series was broadcast on Amazon. In a tweet published on May 9, we discover that it was destroyed by a player who took responsibility for his act. “ Guilty », replied Joe Grizzly Bitch, with a capture where we see him crossing paths with Phil Spencer in the game (his nickname is P3) and a clip of his misdeed.

Is this slightly terrorist act linked to recent decisions by Microsoft, which has just closed studios, for example? We could have believed it given the timing. But it's just a coincidence of timing, Joe Grizzly Bitch told Kotaku on May 9: “ This has been my mission for several weeks now. It was a calculated attack and I have nothing against Phil. Phil is cool. Fallout 76 is cool. »

Phil Spencer no longer has a base in Fallout 76

Joe Grizzly Bitch's real goal was to fight Phil Spencer after challenging him to a duel. “ I wanted a confrontation, but he didn't attack me, he waved and sent me hearts when I met him “, he explains. He adds : ” He was the final boss in my eyes. In an RPG, I prefer to be the bad guy. »

Proof that it was something premeditated for a while, the person concerned showed an old tweetdating from April and accompanied by a capture where we see Phil Spencer in Fallout 76. He stated at the time: “ The great general, Phil, don't let me catch him. » He set this goal in mind after completing the main campaign of Fallout 76. So it was nothing more than a huge role-playing game.

Since the start of the year, Microsoft has made a series of controversial decisions, between massive layoffs and even a murky editorial strategy (releasing its exclusives outside the Xbox ecosystem). It was entirely possible to see this destruction as a punishment against the face of the brand – knowing that Phil Spencer plays a lot between two meetings at the top (he exceeded 900 hours of play in 2023). Alas, Joe Grizzly Bitch's quest has no political flavor.
