Or for those who prefer to see it from a war perspective, they switch sides. <strong>People don&#8217;t exist just as figures to sell products and ensure that a certain brand has a presence on social media and in the minds of consumers.<\/strong> They also have a life. People must make the best decisions for their own existence. That&#8217;s why, from time to time, we see shocking situations where a historical figure goes from the position we&#8217;ve always known them to have to a completely different one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This occurred with Larry Hryb, better known as Major Nelson. <strong>Host of the Official Xbox Podcast and also known for posting Xbox information on his official Twitter account, he was the company&#8217;s official hype man on social media<\/strong>. The public face of the Xbox brand for many years, since its first console. But last year, in 2023, Hryb confirmed he was leaving the company to pursue new job opportunities. And now, finally, we know where he&#8217;s landed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Monday, June 17th, on his LinkedIn, he listed his new job as Community Director at Unity. <strong>A job that seems to be some kind of brand ambassador for the famous game engine<\/strong>, which is currently not going through its best moment of credibility towards users. Or creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Official Xbox Podcast - LIVE\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bTmkOxWa6FE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems Hryb wanted to highlight Unity&#8217;s mission to &#8220;empower creativity and success in the businesses of creators around the world in video games, applications, and experiences that align with my vital passion for innovation and community building.&#8221; <strong>His statement confirms that he will work as a brand ambassador, building community and improving Unity&#8217;s brand image<\/strong>. Which is not experiencing its best moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unity certainly needs this kind of clear and inspiring communication, and Hryb is an expert at that. <strong>After last year, the company managed not just to anger the entire community of video game developers, but to cause an exodus of many of them; its credibility has been greatly damaged.<\/strong> In addition, it hasn&#8217;t helped that, among the wave of layoffs in recent years, Unity has recently laid off 25% of its workforce as recently as last January. Therefore, as much as we appreciate Major Nelson, we fear that Hryb has a very, very difficult challenge ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Unity Web Player\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/f034a76a-96d1-11e6-b20c-00163ed833e7\/1448728549\/unity-web-player-Unity%20Web%20Player.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Unity Web Player<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/unity-web-player.en.softonic.com\/?ex=RAMP-2046.2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--3.30\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"3.30\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"3.3\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">3.3<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\">Unity Web Player is a browser plugin, which allows you to play a wide range of games and watch loads of 3D content developed on the Unity game engine<\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/unity-web-player.en.softonic.com\/?ex=RAMP-2046.2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Larry Hryb, m\u00e1s conocido como Major Nelson, renunci\u00f3 el a\u00f1o pasado a su trabajo en Microsoft y ahora por fin sabemos cu\u00e1l es su destino: Unity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9268,"featured_media":283559,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":2},"categories":[1018,1015],"tags":[6690,6691,1990],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-283557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","category-news","tag-larry-hryb","tag-major-nelson","tag-unity"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9268"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":312664,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283557\/revisions\/312664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283557"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=283557"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=283557"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=283557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
