She completed Firewatch to 100% on January 20. Titles like What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, and A Short Hike also had higher completion ratings, indicating Sharma may have a preference for emotionally charged narrative games.

I don't know what your takes are, but these are some of the best games in their genres that she completed, I wouldn’t say no to more of that, especially a bigger "A Short Hike" game.

Obviously she's not into bigger gaming timesinks, but different people have different preferences, I'd give her the benefit of doubt, because I don't know much about her managerial skills. And that should matter more about her job than what your free time preferences are.

I've never cared for Xbox but at least it had a personality before Xbox One. An annoying, idiotic personality that I thoroughly disliked, but it had a personality nonetheless. It was the "fratbro" of the pack.

Ever since Xbox One though, the fratbro graduated and suddenly became the most bland and boring corporate guy you've ever heard of. And as every corporate guy nowadays, he now has caught the AI brain rot.

Who cares

Former Xbox leadership Phil Spencer, whom Sharma was succeeding, was a prolific collector of achievements with a rich gamercard that was a popular subject of discussion among Xbox communities.

Scrolling to the bottom, Sharma's very first achievement was unlocked in The Master Chief Collection and was the aptly titled "Your Journey Begins" on January 15 of this year

It's like they sought out the person who would most precisely piss off Asmongold.

It’s hard to do much worse than Spencer but I’m sure she’ll manage.

A nongamer leading a console/studio company..... More corporate trash coming our way.

If you're offered the job, take it I guess because no one expects you to succeed. If the internal expectations are to focus on the following: Minecraft, CoD, Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, Candy Crush, then maybe this person will excel in that direction. Also all those being video games that found success before Microsoft

Actually trying to make Xbox a success, it's been nearly 13 years of trying to course correct and probably a good amount north of 100 billion dollars and still no strong consistent lineup of new releases. Fable can knock it out the park but that would just be one single player AAA game hit for Xbox after 13 years. So I imagine her expectations are going to be in managing what's proven profitable and winding down what's been proven to be outside of what they're good at

On the one hand I see the reason for criticism, when a person that apparently never touched a video game becomes a XBOX CEO, on the other hand does her account really read like a real one, and I think this is great. I think there is nothing easier for an Xbox CEO than to have a fake account created going back 20 years and showing thousands of hours of gaming or have somebody game for you Elon Musk style.

This reads like someone that is actually preparing for the new role she has to fill and making her own gaming experiences and listening to community feedback.

Is it as good as having someone as CEO with a long history in gaming? Probably not. But I think this might be the next best thing.

Wow she made her first MCC achievement on january 15 of this year. Wtf? 18 hours in Infinite. I have like 200 and i despite this game. How can one be the CEO of a gaming division, when your not a gamer? Every news from Xbox is just evolving from bad to worse.

I'm not a fan of a company having a CEO with no clue about their product either. But how much worse than Spencer can she really be? Maybe he should have focused more on his job than his gamer reputation.
