End of an era. Dude's 65 and worked his ass off for 20 straight years, right in the spotlight the whole time, without drama or scandal that I'm aware of. May he have a long and comfortable retirement.

He’s 65?! Geez, I thought he was in his early/mid 50s. Well deserved retirement.
Never thought this day would come, he's earned a long a happy retirement. Hopefully they replace him with someone who is equally as into the space as he was.
Fond farewell to an absolute legend. Dude's been synonymous with Xbox for me for basically the entire time I've owned one.
Yeah, I mean, he's old. 65 is not a young age. I am surprised he didn't step down 15 years ago, to be honest. I can only hope that the replacement person isn't annoying.
Gonna miss this guy. One of the reasons I really took that next level into gaming during the 360 years. He’s kinda wind down his involvement for a few years but still sad to see him go.
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.
