Major Nelson decides to leave Xbox after 20 years

He expressed his gratitude on Twitter to everyone who followed him on his journey: “After 20 incredible years, I have decided to step back and work on the next chapter of my career. As I take a moment to think about everything we’ve done together, I want to thank the millions of gamers around the world who have made me part of their lives.”
