Won’t be missed. Xbox sucks at marketing in this industry. This is badly needed.

I see Xbox stuff everywhere. On cereal boxes, toasters and fridges.. Xbox just sucks.

This. Marketing isn't the issue. He's just fleeing the sinking ship.

Unfortunately, Xbox has not done great with marketing this generation. One thing I found odd is that he is leaving Xbox for Roblox. I'm not sure how big Roblox is in comparison to Xbox but I can't imagine him getting better compensation from there. Perhaps he was forced out?

It's simple, Roblox is profitable.

DivineHand1253h ago

@fr0sty Would you leave your place of employment to work somewhere else for less pay just because that business is profitable?

You would have to be a special person to be ok with that.

That, or he is pulling an Elop.

Xbox marketing has mostly been trash for a decade. Shake it up as much as you can.

Marketing is not the issue at XBOX. Production and its leadership have screwed up royally. XBOX studios, wth are you doing managing these developers?!

Returnal was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing what these folks create with Sony in the future.

jznrpg8h ago

They make some fun arcade styles games. Returnal is one of the best games so far this generation. I wonder what is next

amobius7h ago

returnal is easily one of the most underrated games this gen. a lot of people with ps5s dont know it exists.

fr0sty6h ago

And it exists for free if you subscribe to PS+ Extra or Premium.

Kornholic13m ago

For free? 12 months of PS Plus Extra costs 130 € and Premium is 160 €.

Where I live you can buy Returnal for as little as 15 € if you buy it used. Even at full price it is nowhere near the cost of PS Plus Extra or Premium.

So how on earth can you se that it exists for free if you subscribe to those paid subscription services?
