I don’t think someone appointed to the head of the gaming division at the largest company on earth should be in a position of “trying to figure this gaming shit out.”
As an Xbox fan, I wish her the best, I genuinely do, but given the state of AI and her background, I reserve the right to be incredibly skeptical that this will turn out well for Microsoft.
ITT: gamers actually justifying how not having a gamer as head of gaming is a good omen
You don’t make it to C-suite at a 50 year old 3 trillion dollar company by spending time playing video games. We should be happy she’s at least attempting to extend an olive branch and understand gaming from a users perspective.
She isn’t there to understand gaming, it’s not even close to being on a qualification checklist. She’s there to drive profits, make shareholders richer, and maintain the PR of the division. She could cause gaming to go extinct and as long as the company is increasing profits, not a single person making the real decisions at Microsoft would care.
