After 20 incredible years, I have decided to take a step back and work on the next chapter of my career. As I take a moment and think about all we have done together, I want to thank the millions of gamers around the world who have included me as part of their lives. (1/3)

Also, thanks to Xbox team members for trusting me to have a direct dialogue with our customers. The future is bright for Xbox and as a gamer, I am excited to see the evolution.
Thank and I’ll see you online Larry Hryb (2/3)

P.S. The official Xbox Podcast will be taking a hiatus this Summer and will come back in a new format. (3/3)

I’m a bit out of the loop on this guy. Can anyone explain who he is and what he did for Xbox?

He was probably one of the best community managers for any company ever. He did a ton to connect Xbox as a brand with gamers, communicating as a two-way process and (seemingly) bringing about change with Xbox as a result of this process.

Whereas most community managers start strong with a couple of good blog posts and a promise to "listen more", Major Nelson actually kept this up... for the better part of two decades.
