Exactly. I was just about to say this. People on GAF and Reddit were talking about 2017 as if this was the year we start seeing "the fruits of Phil's labor" in regards to games. Like, as if he was going to come out and announce a bunch of new studios with a bunch of exclusive first-party titles in development. Once again, they're left with him repeating the same old lines and using buzzwords to gloss over the fact that he doesn't have jack shame to sell them. His legacy at this point is nothing more than deconstructing what Mattrick built and signing timed exclusivity deals with third-party companies while allowing first-party to shrink into a shadow of itself and spitting out aging franchises on a constant basis as if Activision is a great model to follow.
Which according to Phil, is bad for the industry.  In a way I kinda feel bad for him, cause I know he's just talking for the higher ups, but still.
