"He's the real Big Boss", gamers are thrilled to see Phil Spencer in suit

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, became a trend on social networks for his answers to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the hearings for the purchase of Activision Blizzard. However, there was another detail that caught the attention of gamers: the executive's look.

Spencer usually appears in interviews and events in casual attire, where he regularly shows off video game-related T-shirts. For his meeting with the FTC, the executive dressed formally and gamers were delighted to see him in a suit and tie. Social networks were soon filled with memes about it and Spencer himself spoke about it.

Fans are fascinated with Phil Spencer's look

Images of Spencer in a suit and tie soon hit social media. Many gamers were surprised by the manager's appearance, as it is rare to see him in a suit at events and interviews.

The comments about his appearance were so many that even Spencer spoke on the subject. The executive reacted to a meme, where he is presented as if he were just another character from the Yakuza saga. Spencer assured that he has laughed a lot seeing the memes and comments from the community. He also revealed that it's weird for him to wear a suit and tie, so he was also amused to see himself in such attire.

"OK, that's pretty funny. I even laughed at myself in a coat and tie, you all should as well. Took me awhile to find these in the back of my closet," Spencer stated.

Other players said he looks like a real boss and that he is "the real Big Boss" because of the great job he did during the hearings. Jokingly, some of the community asked him if his look was a reference to Hitman and what he would do to the FTC during the hearings.

OK, that's pretty funny. I even laughed at myself in a coat and tie, you all should as well. Took me awhile to find these in the back of my closet :-)

Why does Phil Spencer in a suit fee so odd to me. Like I’m only supposed to see him in either a black T shirt or a zip up hoodie https://t.co/1g2wo3pEtV

Bien, eso es bastante divertido. Incluso me reí de mí mismo con saco y corbata, todos ustedes también deberían hacerlo. Me tomó un tiempo encontrar esto en el fondo de mi armario :-)
