Veteran or not, the man did horrible job at representing the xbox brand and MS (on the year of the reveal, not sure about before then) with some of the stupid shit he pulled out, most noticeably, the buy a 360 crap.

One bad day, putting his head on the line saying things the company agreed on forfeits his entire history in the industry?

Mattrick was just a scapegoat, he was representing the beliefs of the Xbox brand at the time, but people seem to think his dismisal meant Xbox is going in a new direction.

It was Xbox who said "Don't have internet, buy a 360." Mattrick was just the messenger.

They knew he was going to Zynga so he was the scapegoat. You still have the friggen ceo flat out saying its non essential, any one with any knownledge of how PR works knows thats the equivalent of saying its not important to us/ we don't care about it.

Nobody put a gun to his head. If he is a veteran, with any sense of intelligence and experience, he should have known how pissy we gamers are and even thinking about saying something like that should have been a red flag. 

He represents a company and brand, sure, but he is his own damn man. Have some balls and admit to mistakes or answers questions outside of the script. Also, the original Xbox One policies and stuff was awful and he had no problem just spewing all that crooked philosophy of how this is the evolution of gaming, blah blah blah. Right there, I knew, he did not have the best intentions for gamers (aside from the supposed family sharing feature)

I don't respect puppets and apparently, that's what you consider him to be.
