But now we’re seeing the real costs: layoffs, closures, and fewer games. Spencer was always serving the company.

@parismarx Xbox business was in demise and waiting in line to thrown out to the lions/shareholders, then into the MS graveyard when Spencer arrived.

I won’t say he is a hero, and while I agree he’s another wolf in suits, Xbox would have long gone without him.
