Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, recently posted a thank you message addressed to Xbox and all its gamers. This set off alerts from some fans of the brand, who for a moment believed that the executive was saying goodbye to the company.
Fortunately this was not the case, as Spencer actually only shared a few words for the celebration of Thanksgiving, which was held yesterday. He did get a scare out of one Xbox fan who thought he was quitting.
Phil Spencer celebrated Thanksgiving and some gamers thought the worst
"I’m grateful for my family, friends, Xbox team, and the gaming community. You make the work meaningful and fun. Through ups and downs, I never forget how grateful I am for the opportunity and support that makes all of this possible. Thank you," Spencer wrote on X.
Many players thanked him for his words and took the opportunity to congratulate the manager for all his work. They also wished him a happy Thanksgiving celebration with his family.
However, some players were distressed when they read Spencer's post, as they were not aware of the festivities. For a moment, they thought Spencer was saying goodbye to Xbox and that it was time for him to retire.
As you can imagine, this happened to gamers in regions where Thanksgiving is not celebrated. There were also clueless fans who didn't remember the celebration and got a scare.
"For a moment I thought it was a farewell tweet, then I remembered it was Thanksgiving" and "Good Lord, I thought he was leaving for a second! We're thankful too, Phil!", are some of the messages that can be read on X.
