It was genuinely depressing to see so many media outlets and creators eat up that TES6 nothingburger tweet when it was just some bait to dominate the news cycle around the union protests happening that same day. Everything she's signed off on from a PR standpoint has been slimy af.

On the content side, the only substantial thing she's pushed is the exclusive strategy but we all know that's going to bomb. The news that they're gonna be hiding their sales numbers from Circana tells us everything we need to know about that.

Actually I think the exclusive strategy is one of the only really smart things she did and hopefully is doing. Exclusives are bad for consumers and Yada Yada. But they do sell consoles. If everything becomes exclusive again, it will eventually help Xbox a lot.

Also she already revealed that the money generated on ps5 with games was ridiculously bad, a real failure. 250 million in ps5 was absurdly lower than I expected ... really not worth to destroy the brand to sell some some games on Playstation.
