Phil’s Presentation: “Bring Back the 32X, Buy Sega”

Phil starts with a bold plan:

Acquire Sega outright. He wants to resurrect the 32X, restore retro IPs, and integrate them into Game Pass, including PhilPass.

Pitching it as both nostalgia and market expansion: “Sega has legacy, brand power, and unique IPs we can leverage.”

Reiterates the importance of studio control, acquisition, and consolidation — Guerrilla Games, Kojima Productions, Ubisoft, EA.

Phil closes dramatically:

“If we own the past, we control the future. 32X isn’t dead. It’s waiting for Xbox.”

Internal chat notes say engineers are torn between awe and panic.

Todd’s Presentation: “Short But Wants Someone Tall”

Todd Howard takes the floor. He’s Short but commands attention. His proposal is precise:

Elder Scrolls VI: “Bethesda must start. We need someone Tall to tell them to move.”

Explains that verbal reminders, memos, and nudges haven’t worked — physical presence and authority are required.

Advocates incremental projects and smaller narrative experiments while Elder Scrolls VI is in development.

Todd’s phrasing becomes a running meme internally:

“I’m short, yes, but that doesn’t reduce the height of the problem. Bethesda needs a Tall Guy to push.”
