Xbox CEO commits to console first future - sh.itjust.works

Xbox’s new CEO Asha Sharma says the company is “returning to Xbox” with a renewed focus on consoles, hardware, and protecting players’ long‑term investments.

Full size ads on startup and killing gold means its only on the business of staying in business. Xbox hasn’t been decent in over a decade and a non gamer won’t know how it actually worked. Plus they killed all their studios
@thirteene @DataBlade To be 100% fair, the 360 had ads, BUT sometimes said ads benefited the player. Like "watch ad to recieve free avatar items". I got some cool stuff that way. And I do think that a non-gamer CAN turn Xbox around, it's just pretty unlikely.
I did the same, but looking back it feels like the added the rewards so people accepted them, and once they normalised having adds in the system they removed the rewards.
