the funnest part about AAA game dev is having a small anxiety attack every time you have an unexpected meeting with an exec because it's a coin flip whether you're getting laid off or a raise

based on how today's xbox reshuffling played out and who's taking over, I doubt things are about to get better for xbox devs and fans any time soon. but phil spencer's departure, like that of great many video game execs, is long overdue
