Word on the street was that Mattrick was in line for greater roles/responsibilities at Microsoft, which is presently getting ready for some mega reorg by Ballmer.
Not sure what it means for Zynga, but I think this is a big deal to Microsoft.
- georgemcbay 13y agoI don't follow "the street" very closely, but as a gamer I know he became the very public face of Xbox One and everything about that product that caused the huge backlash against that product post-E3. The fact that they had to publicly back out of a lot of the early decisions he made suggests Microsoft saw some real numbers on how negatively the Xbox One backlash was hurting them (eg. PS4 vs Xbox One preorder numbers).
- lawnchair_larry 13y agoOr perhaps in light of the brand damage caused surrounding Xbox One, this is the result of said reorg by Ballmer.
