      It’s a month old account.

      But the biggest redflag is she’s never worked for a gaming company before, she went from AI exec to Xbox CEO…

      She literally has no idea how any of it works

        This is the fundamental problem in the game industry. It became so profitable over the years it attracted the worst kind of people to lead creative endeavors.

        Of course I‘m talking about scum from the finance world and big tech that we‘ve all grown to despise over the years. They don‘t know the consumer or the product. They‘re in it for the money and we can see that in mass layoffs, predatory monetization practices that make other entertainment industries blush and insanely bloated budgets for projects with no vision.

        They‘re disgusting parasites. They‘re killing games and that‘s why I play so much more indie and retro games than AAA.

    Wow she made her first MCC achievement on january 15 of this year. Wtf? 18 hours in Infinite. I have like 200 and i despite this game. How can one be the CEO of a gaming division, when your not a gamer? Every news from Xbox is just evolving from bad to worse.
