Fallout 76 player explains why they nuked Phil Spencer\u2019s camp BethesdaAfter Phil Spencer\u2019s camp in Fallout 76 was nuked by another player, many speculated this was done out of protest to Xbox\u2019s closing of multiple studios and laying off employees. However, that may not have been the case. The closure of studios such as Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin hasn\u2019t sat well with a lot of fans since the announcement, and the head of Xbox has come under fire for the decision. So when Spencer\u2019s camp in Fallout 76 was nuked, it led many to believe it could be in response to the event. One player on the game\u2019s subreddit joked that it could be an example of review bombing \u201cevolving\u201d as a way to campaign against Xbox. This was amplified when the culprit, who goes by real1090jake, posted on X to say that they made Xbox boss pay for how he \u201churt\u201d the employees who had lost their jobs. Made that boy Phil pay for how he hurt my Xbox brothers and sisters.. pic.twitter.com\/4Z7I0j4cZw \u2014 Joe Grizzly Bitch\ud83d\udd2a (@real1090jake) May 9, 2024 While this made many believe it truly was an act of defiance, real1090jake did eventually explain that it was not the true intention behind the act. Speaking to Kotaku, they detail their reasoning behind dropping the massive explosion on Spencer\u2019s camp, saying they\u2019ve been \u201cplanning to catch him for awhile.\u201d They went on to explain: \u201cTrying to take him down was just a personal goal for me after I finished the main questline.\u201d It seems that real1090jake just wanted to have a one-on-one fight with Phil, but when he was finally able to catch him alone, he was just greeted with a wave instead of fighting back. They say that their mention of getting back about the layoffs was a joke, but it was planned for weeks beforehand. While the intentions behind the nuking may not be about the recent controversy, it\u2019s clear that Fallout 76 fans will use this event for meme fodder for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
