After twenty years at Microsoft, one of the best-known executives of the Xbox brand leaves, leaving the brand without its most famous face.
Major Nelson, whose real name is Larry Hryb, is one of the most prominent figures in the gaming industry. As a key figure in the launch of Xbox Live, Xbox 360, and subsequent Microsoft consoles, he joined the Xbox division after being transferred from the MSN Music department following the release of the first console. Today, through his Twitter account, he has announced his departure from Microsoft.
After 20 years, following his vacation, he will be leaving his position at Xbox and Microsoft. He has not yet clarified what his next career move will be, but he did express that he believes Xbox has a bright future that he is eager to witness. As the man who consistently handled Microsoft’s communication and the most recognizable executive of the brand, this is a significant blow to Xbox, but also a well-deserved break for a man without whom it’s hard to imagine the console having achieved the same level of success.
