    I still remember the internet glazing this new CEO a couple months ago cause they lowered prices.

    Like, cmon people. It’s a CEO. They’re all delusional. That’s how they got the job.

    I’m guessing she is the new Ellen Pao for x-box? Xbox is cratering and they need some good scapegoat to push through some more nonsense, so they put her there and once shits really on fire, they can just point at her

    RTGame on YouTube has started doing a yearly watch-along of the major game conferences of 20 years ago. Xbox of 2005/2006 also had “1 billion” as a goal back then- they seriously claimed to be able to sell a billion Xbox 360s way back in the day.

    (Also, obligatorily “-and Mario will never start shooting hookers.” Nintendo was crazy back then.)

    Maybe they’ll reach there by double counting people. If you play candy crush, play Minecraft on pc and watch a video on xbox, you get counted as three.

      “Do you guys not have phones?” - Blizzard in 2018 to a crowd of PC enthusiasts after selling PC games for nearly 30 years at the time.

      I just don’t think you can add mobile to an existing platform lile PC or Console. You are marketing to other demographics… the ones that dont play PC and Console games…

      Microsoft wants someone who continues to reach for unattainable growth in order to make their stocks keep going up. The problem is they would have to reduce cost to get more products in more hands and they know they won’t do that. It’s all just BS for investors

    Growth while laying people off like stupid. How is that supposed to work?

      Hire people to create the illusion of growth, fire them to create the illusion that you know what you’re doing. The cycle of life!

    public kpi: outlandish - probably never will happen internal kpi (during annual review time): got somewhere close to the steam numbers (but nothing really competed with it)
