Microsoft’s New CEO “A Good Supporter of Studios and Xbox” – Spencer

Corporate VP for Microsoft Games Studios also talks free to play titles on Xbox One.

05th, Feb. 2014 | Posted In News | By Ravi Sinha| Follow This Author @splitscreener

Corporate VP of Microsoft Games Studios Phil Spencer congratulated Satya Nadella on becoming the new CEO of Microsoft on Twitter. In between, Spencer also made sure to mention that Nadella supports both the game studios and the Xbox brand – something which many feared would be in danger if Nokia’s Stephen Elop took over as CEO.

“Yes, I know Satya. He’s been a good supporter of Studios and XBOX.” Spencer did make sure to add that Elop understands how important Xbox is to the company.

Spencer also made sure to talk about free to play titles on the Xbox One, stating that there would be something down the line. “I agree. Want to support 360 first but obviously looking down the road at XB1.”

Satya Nadella was originally in charge of Microsoft adapting Cloud computing for its various services. He was selected as the CEO of Microsoft, effective immediately, yesterday. Stay tuned for more.

I know many of you worried Xbox lovers were in "hysteria" and heavily making threads about Xbox doom.

Worry no more and 2014 and 15 are looking the best for MS out of the competition.

Elop is bad for any company no matter if he wants it fail or not. He can do it even without trying.

@duplicate thread

This is actually new info so it's not a dupe



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

No matter it's still the same subject... It's like the tf thread or any other game we don't need 20 threads... Just post your new content and ask the OP to update.... Like we do in Xbox nation... It would be way easier and cleaner for readers imo....

This is about Satya and Spencer assurance on the Xbox brand continuity. Also, it's a clarification on an unfounded rumor believed here on VGC.

It can't be easier and cleaner than this...
