Last week ended with shocking news from Microsoft. Phil Spencer, CEO of the gaming division, announced his departure. After 38 years with the company, the businessman said he wanted to retire.
However, rumors suggest that his departure may have been forced. During the Kinda Funny Games podcast, host Greg Miller claimed to have obtained evidence that Phil Spencer was fired rather than resigning.
“I’m not going to read it, but I’ve been given something that confirms once again that it wasn’t planned.”*
It should be noted that Sarah Bond, who was president of Xbox, has also resigned. The new CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Asha Sharma, takes office on Monday, February 23.
