After Phil Spencer’s Fallout 76 base was nuked, it looks like the Xbox CEO is planning his revenge with one key step

Xbox’s Phil Spencer could be about to outsmart Fallout 76 players, as his achievements reveal the start of a potential revenge scheme.

Spotted by Xbox reporter 'Rebs Gaming' on social media, Spencer has returned to Bethesda's massive online RPG game, despite seeing his base reduced to nothing but ash. Digging deeper into Spencer's Xbox profile reveals that he recently completed the Fallout 76 quest Officer On Deck, a quest that enables players to well…launch their own nuclear weapons.

It's no easy feat, either, considering how grindy the apocalyptic multiplayer game can be. With the quest done and dusted for Spencer, all eyes are on his next move within the wasteland. The feud between Spencer and one player in particular, 'real1090snake', began on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, and it could be about to receive an enthralling next chapter. In an interview with Kotaku, the player expresses that battling Spencer is part of a larger goal.

Good on Phil Spencer for doing the necessary grinding to progress in Fallout 76 to unlock nukes. I really hope he has a nice week-end and that he can take revenge against those who nuked his camp.

edit: bruh i'm making light of this situation to show that he put people in the unemployment line while happily playing fallout 76 and remaining radio silent on the situation

This doesn't really seem like news to me. If it's a normal progression quest you do just through normal play, it feels like people seeing what they want to see and then a game writer editorializing about it.

At least they nuked an ingame base, unlike Phil nuking entire studios

I think it's a bit weird to be tracking what he's doing in the game like this tbh.

How symbolic. A cutthroat exec that's convinced people "he's just like us" set to gain back trust by acquiring nukes.

Did he really complete the quest or did he ask a Dev to flip a switch on his account?

Feels weird to have an article that's ultimate endgoal is "look Phil's still as gamer as he's ever been, he's just like us!" after this week.

MVG's recent video was right. The parasocial relationship with Phil and the other Xbox execs needs to stop.

Hasn't he been playing the game for a long time though?

Let me put it another way. If the CEO of XB is so emotionally fragile that he devotes significant time and energy to counter-nuking some guy who nuked him in-game, Xbox has much bigger problems to worry about.

I think it's just a very funny coincidence. That's all.

Shouldn't we know what Phil is doing when he fired hundreds of devs and playing radio silent?

Oh no, exec of corporation that closed multiple studios this week is still pursuing his hobby, whatever we'll do. Guy should obviously spend all his time thinking about his work and atoning for all the mistakes he made. Shame on you - no fun, only work.

Glad to learn that Phil is enjoying himself while other people are struggling. Maybe we were too negative and should put in perspective all the crap of the past week I guess, then.

Weird title for the article but I guess at least it mentions the studio closures near the end.

So what is he supposed to do? Go home, lay down, and cry? We all had terrible days at work, does that mean we're not allowed to do things in our actual lives? Spencer might be a terrible CEO, but that has nothing to do with what he does in his free time.

Is Exophase a reliable source for gaming hours? I can't believe someone like Phil Spencer with all those responsibilities played more than 11,000 hours on Xbox and PC in these years!
He played Redfall for about 33 hours too, as a game that needs 12 hours for main story, 19 hours for main + sides and 31 hours for completing 100%.

Don't turn this into some "cute" constant update thing please. Dude is on his way to tanking an entire console division and wiping out decades of developer talent while getting paid millions a year to just play Fallout and seem like he's part of the zeitgeist.

Yeah, everyone should be committed to their job 24/7. Literally what is wrong with you if you use your free time for anything else than work.
