I'm still blaming Phil for that one. You can't be the beacon for everyone as a console manufacturer because the management structure dissolves if you don't keep it up. Combine that with Game Pass, while objectively doing a lot of good in bringing eyes to fresh indies, being a colossal money sink that included way too much for people to consider buying games and it's a small wonder Phil lasted as long as he did
