Pretty obvious that Spencer was forced out and Bond (who was being groomed to take over from Spencer) was passed over, hence the resignation. At least the new XBox boss brings a lot of gaming experience from her previous role at....Instacart.
She's one of the primary culprits in Microsoft behind Copilot being abso-fucking-lutely everywhere and meaning nothing, bringing no value to any of the places they try to put it. She is a primo example of the MBA class middle management enshittifying the world.
Good for her that she's making great paychecks, though.
Not a surprise, with how things have changed at Xbox over the last couple of years.
Sort of figured a shake up was coming with how things were going with the xbox and their game studios.
