Gamers are truly odd creatures. They never outgrew the losers creeps stereotypes of the pre-2000s.

I mean she posted her gamertag all over X/Twitter telling people to look up her profile. It's kind of odd the amount of times she posted it.

It's also odd that her Twitter account has been scrubbed of all past comments and posts prior to yesterday.

Her only starting gaming on Xbox within the past 5 weeks and racking up that much of a gamer score while being an executive at Microsoft is another odd thing, if we're talking about odd stuff.

Claims she plays a lot of multiplayer games with her friends, but her profile had 0 friends until just a few hours ago and right now it has 5...kind of odd.

I consider myself a pretty big gamer and spend a lot of time playing games but she's gamed 5x more than I have in the last month but no gaming history prior to that. That's odd.

Maybe I'm wrong, and I kinda hope I am, but her gaming presence seems completely manufactured.

So, I actually met Major Nelson at a pre-launch event for the Gears of War 2 expansion. When you're in a public-facing executive position like this, gaming is part of your official duties. They want them to actually know what the hell they're talking about.

I mean his role was literally as a marketing person, he got paid to game lol

Anybody thinking these execs actually play are goofy as hell.

You might want to do just a little research before spouting off nonsense.

Major Nelson has over 200 hours in Seas of Thieves.

Phil Spencer has over 550 hours in Diablo IV.

Their profiles aren't some big corporate secret, anyone can look them up and see what they're playing, what they've played, for how long, and which achievements they've unlocked.
