Major Nelson Steps Away

I stopped following him a while ago, as his feed had turned into pretty much just ads for Xbox and giveaways.

I wonder if he is leaving MS?

He did mention, earlier this year, that he was working on some projects…what those are, I have no clue.

But his DMs are open, so one could just ask.



 
He’s not part of those, he actually does some back end stuff, but he’s been dropping hints for almost a year, it was kinda expected. But who knows, maybe he really does want to spend time with his family, pffft…. I think he’s been with ms longer than we’ve known h as major Nelson
How do you know?
 
Meh.

Guys done a lot but always came off as a bit of a nasty guy behind the scenes.
Hated the few Nelson podcasts I listened to mainly cause he wouldn't let a single guest get a sentence out without some sort of interruption.

Highlight was him getting caught saying some Sarcastic 'we better impress the new boss' or something along those lines after Spencer took over just before an E3 show(I think) not realising the mic was on.

An Xbox podcaster mentioned he was at E3 years ago and was taking a picture with Phil Spencer and Mike Ybarra. Major Nelson was standing nearby and he asked Nelson to jump in the pic, but Nelson just shook his head. Then Spencer basically told him to get in the picture.
