Microsoft's new company reorganization promotes Julie Larson-Green, a 19-year company veteran, to head up Xbox—a position recently left vacant by Don Mattrick—a move that has a lot of gamers very, very upset because she's a woman, who supposedly has no gaming experience. Oh and also, she's hot. When the news hit the social gaming news site N4G, commenters were quick to point out her shortcomings.
Codemasters has unveiled a series of massive changes to the Career Mode in F1 24. Players will finally be able to play as a current superstar.
Bandai Namco have announced a console and PC game of the Tensura series - that of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles.
Wrath: Aeon of Ruin has come about via some old classical inspiration. If you liked Quake, DOOM, Hexen or the like, then you're going to love this as it blasts onto Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
I think it also has more to do that she was the head of the Windows 8 division.
Don apparently was a gamer and look what he was like (a waking train wreck), now we are getting someone who probably hasn't touched a game in her life. It's kind of worrying.
Anyway look at that...N4G is famous :D
Who cares if she's a woman. Why are people hyping-up her gender? Bottom line: She has NO gaming experience. Seriously, why was it given to her if she has no experience?
It makes me sick when people give positions to less qualified people just because of gender or race. HOW is it that after all these years of Xbox being around, that she is the most qualified for the position, when she never once worked in the gaming division before. Plus she already has a ton of other responsibilities there which will detract from the focus that Xbox desperately needs (gaming-wise).
But whatever, Xbox has been downhill for years. Now they give it to someone with ZERO game industry experience. LOL, i'll just sit back, grab some popcorn, play my PS4 and see what happens.
Who cares Xbox is a media box and gaming is a small portion of TV experience
I'm sure some aren't comfortable with her because of gender, but I'd say most don't like the looks of her resume.
What? I'm kind of offended by this generalizing shitty statement. Gamers have always been absolutely fine with female lead roles in the game industry. i didn't hear any complaints when Assassins creed, Uncharted, and Journey made it publicly known that they had female leads on their games.
