Naturally, this email has ended up becoming public knowledge, and in it, you can see that the impact they&#8217;ve received is significant: &#8220;Today, numerous documents sent to the court related to our proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard were unintentionally published.<strong> I know this is disappointing<\/strong>, even though these documents are from a year ago, and our plans have evolved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I also know that we all take the confidentiality of our plans and our partners&#8217; information very seriously. This leak clearly means <strong>we haven&#8217;t lived up to those expectations<\/strong>. We will learn from what happened and be better in the future,&#8221; he states. &#8220;We all put a lot of passion and energy into our work, and this is never how we want that hard work to be shared with the community. That said, there is so much more to be excited about, and when we are ready, we will share the actual plans with our players.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We&#39;ve seen the conversation around old emails and documents. It is hard to see our team&#39;s work shared in this way because so much has changed and there&#39;s so much to be excited about right now, and in the future. We will share the real plans when we are ready.<\/p>&mdash; Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/XboxP3\/status\/1704233222752571842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To wrap up, I appreciate all the work you put into the Xbox team to surprise and delight our players. In the coming days and weeks, we will focus on what we can control: continuing the fantastic success of <strong>Starfield<\/strong>, with the upcoming launch of the incredible and accessible <strong>Forza Motorsport<\/strong>, and we will keep building games and devices that millions of players can enjoy,&#8221; he emphasizes as a final note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are tough days for the Xbox division, especially when you consider that all of this has been caused by something as simple and absurd as uploading documents to the wrong repository without proper censorship. As a curiosity, Spencer has also posted a tweet that can be seen in this very news.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Xbox Game Pass\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/8b773de5-0b20-429f-a535-c159557192df\/2791990695\/xbox-game-pass-Xbox%20Game%20Pass%20for%20PC-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Xbox Game Pass<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox-game-pass.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/xbox-game-pass.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Spencer regrets the leak and considers that everything has been &#8220;disappointing&#8221; and &#8220;not having lived up to the task&#8221; of the events that occurred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9091,"featured_media":250174,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":2},"categories":[1018,1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-250172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9091"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250172"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":317789,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250172\/revisions\/317789"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250172"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=250172"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=250172"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=250172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
