> Over the last two years at Microsoft, and previously as Chief Operating Officer at Instacart and a Vice President at Meta, Asha has helped build and scale services that reach billions of people and support thriving consumer and developer ecosystems
Experience in growing the exploitive gig economy and fucking Facebook (how’s that metaverse going?).
Makings of top quality gaming CEO, of course.
I’m not sold on it. She’s got a lot of muck to climb through to get back to the glory days of the Xbox 360.
Serious question, who would have been a better hire?
«Asha has helped build and scale services that reach billions of people and support thriving consumer and developer ecosystems.»
And there you have it. Microsoft is betting the farm, the house, and two spaceships on GaaS. Xbox is a dead body floating in the river. Dark times.
Indian hires Indian, welcome to the future of american tech
Is this a DEI thing? Because she seems grossly unqualified. Before you jump on me, please know that I myself am an Indian.
Gaming isn’t for gamers. It’s for the shareholders.
Already seeing alt right bot accounts attacking her because she is indian
putting someone in charge of a large gaming org that has literally no experience in the industry only ends in 1 way
it’s so laughable that they think instacart and ad tech is remotely comparable
Not even a gamer. Anyone remember OG Blizzard?
Gamer men and r**ists are going to completely normal about this
The ensh*tification of all things Xbox due to mismanagement by MSFT continues. It’s like Sony and they Spidey-Verse thinking all they needed was the IP, an actor, and a movie. 10 years later they have extremely valuable IP rotting and hoping to use another platform (MCU) to profit from that IP.
