You can say many things about Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb (AKA Major Nelson), but not that he takes himself too seriously or that he isn’t capable of self irony. He previously went on record stating that Microsoft couldn’t just “flip the switch” on its DRM policies, and now that the “switch” has been very dramatically and publicly flipped, he's trying to be a good sport.
This week's episode of Xbox Podcast talks Battlefield 2042 Portal, Death's Door, and more!
In a Reddit post, Xbox's Larry Major Nelson Hyrb said that mixer won't just change to Facebook Gaming on Console.
If I was Facebook I would drop the branding as it is now associated with a failed streaming service.
Two companies that have been scrutinized for data collection practices, Facebook being the worst of the two. This is a partnership MS should have stayed away from.
I don’t know. His wording was cleverly typed. It feels like he’s saying it won’t be integrated for now.... Or get built into the OS someway or another.
Sounds like this was all just a way to kill off Mixer and endorse an alternative that isn't Twitch or Youtube.
Larry Hryb talks with Jason Ronald about Xbox Series X.
Hey dont hate on major nelson hes a great guy and besides at least he admits when he was wrong unlike half of those PR people in the industry.
he's doing his job nothing wrong with that it's not like he is going to say yah we can have an offline console but we are going to screw you over with it.
If you make a mistake, the best way to deal with it is to own it and turn it into a joke. Nelson is owning it. Good on him.
He's so awesome...not
