Larson-Green is a twenty-year veteran of Microsoft. She is also the newly appointed head of Xbox development, or more specifically, she is now the executive in charge of the Devices and Studio Engineering Group which oversees the Xbox.
Over at N4G, a sampling of comments which were noticed by Lauren Cartwright said “Now their (sic) will be apps dedicated to baking and knitting,” “A woman… lol,” and “But dem botox lips . . . clearly the best person for the job.”
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
I really don't think this is a sexist thing to be perfectly honest. It's really more an unfair and immature reaction to not knowing just how she'll handle the division as a non gamer. They fear she's going to lead them astray or lose focus. WHich, it could be argued that the people who were in charge and WERE gamers had veered off course to a certain degree losing focus of what's important to gamers.
Let's give the lady a chance is what I say.
It's not sexist, I don't care if this was a guy taking over, if he hadd the same work history I would be against it still.
She is not a gamer, and she will likely lead the system even more astray, thaat said I have no choice but to hope she does good. Which I wish her luck.
Non-gamer and Xbox go hand in hand. LOL
Kincet, TV, Smartglass, more TV, Kincet 2.0, even more TV.. Useless apps!!!!!.. Did I mention it may also possibly play games.. And lets not forget the most important thing about the next Xbox gaming console, you can watch TV connected to the Xbox and it looks WAY better with the power of cloud!!!
Not like it could get worse.. Or could it?
Only time will tell, if she was the correct candidate for the job. Also, never thought I'd see N4G comments snipped into a post.
don't approve this poorly researched article, we already had enough from the one from Yahoo.
