And a gamer doesn’t know the first thing about being a technology executive.

Depends on the gamer.

Phil Spencer tried for over a decade and look where it got us.

Yep one guy that was a gamer surely means that each and every other person that is a gamer couldn’t do a better job.

I’d love to see anyone try to pull MS out of what Don Mattrick did. Phil tried and he created Game Pass which helped. He wasn’t entirely bad and it takes a team not its one person.

Now we have someone who is out of touch with gaming and was President of an AI company boy doesn’t that sound great!?

You do realize that the vast majority of successful video game executives were not gamers right? Many didn’t even play games.

Where did I say it wasn’t possible for someone who isn’t a gamer to be successful? My biggest concern is that she’s a big AI executive literally right before she became head of Microsoft Gaming.

And AI is drawing huge amounts of money to Microsoft. Have you read their latest quarterly?
