Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - Great Rumbler - 14th January 2004 Quote:The man credited with getting Microsoft into the game business and launching the Xbox has resigned from the company over differences in management. He served as vice president of games publishing and has been with Microsoft for 18 years. Not only did he oversee the Xbox, but PC games as well. His resignation comes after layoffs of about 100 of Microsoft's 1,200 game developers, of which he says, did not effect the decision. That'd be crazy if he got a job at Nintendo. Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - OB1 - 14th January 2004 Especially considering how much he bashed Nintendo. But they all do that. That's what they get paid for. Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - A Black Falcon - 14th January 2004 Stranger things have happened... :) Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - Great Rumbler - 14th January 2004 Remember Ken Lobb? He would always talk about how great Nintendo was and then when he got a job at MS he turned around and started bashing Nintendo and praising Microsoft. Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - A Black Falcon - 14th January 2004 You've got to say things like that when you work for one of the hardware manufacturers... Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - OB1 - 14th January 2004 Keb Lobb is an ass. Wipe. Ed Fries leaves Microsoft - Great Rumbler - 14th January 2004 What a sell-out. |
