Microsoft is hosting an "Xbox Pioneers" roundtable at 10AM PT/ 6PM UK. The roundtable will be moderated by Reggie Fils-Aimé

[SilverX]

Ah Reggie, the guy who put Xbox on the map!

 

[TheChrisGlass]

He's a giant man who used to work for Pizza Hut

 

[MistahS]

My body is ready

 

[P-MAC]

Edit: my bad

 

[CliveLH]

Peter Moore is always interesting to hear in any podcast/video/roundtable where he is.

 

[Montresor]

Bonnie Ross is an Xbox alumnus? Of course she works at 343, and that's not what Tom Warren means. But his tweet is written as if she's an alumnus of Xbox.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I like how we are going to get an interview with Xbox leads that has Reggie but not Don Mattrick lmao

 

[Prine]

Wow, some industry heavyweights there.

 

[Karateka]

No Peter moly!neaux? That's too bad.

 

[Faceless_Caesar]

Sounds like an interesting conversation.

 

[Goldenroad]

No J. Allard on this panel? Come on.

Still sounds pretty cool. Maybe I'll watch over my lunchbreak.

 

[pswii60]

Not really an Xbox Pioneer is he? Will be an awesome watch though

No he isn't, which is why he's the moderator.

It's a Hollywood "and".

 

[LilScooby77]

Will definitely give it a watch.

She's been making games at MS even before the conception of Xbox, she was definitely there.

 

[Brando]

Surprised Nintendo of Japan allowed him to do this. /s

My thought exactly.

She's been at Microsoft since 1994

 

[Grue]

Matt Booty ain't ready.

 

[blame space]

the table should be X-shaped

He also used to run the music channel, VH1, by turning it to a channel that plays anything but music.

Alumnus means someone who "used to" be there, not that's there currently. However there's an oxford comma which makes the sentence "alumni Robbie Bach, Ed Fries, Peter Moore," and also "Bonnie Ross".

Clearly don't understand why MS wants to distance itself from J, especially regarding his departure

Are you confused by his absence as well or are you hinting at something I'm not aware regarding Allard?

 

[Deleted member 202]

Betrayalton.

 

[DopeyFish]

man they're getting into a lot of philosophical questions

 

[Lowrys]

I love how they've given them Xbox controllers instead of drinks.

 

[Brrandon]

Lmao Peter Moore's story about how he took the servers offline for bridge, and then the next day he got a phone call from Bill Gates complaining because those were the servers he used to play bridge with Warren Buffet was amazing

 

[Rivanov]

Peter Moore's story with Ali! <3

 

[Irrotational]

I'll definitely watch, but if folks are interested then the one with the three heads of xbox has lots of interesting little tid-bits. Liken when they were designing the Xbox 360 they had post it notes with $100m written on them and they moved them around between different elements of hardware to work out how they wanted to spend their total budget.

 

[Bengraven]

Microsoft body is ready.

 

[DidactBRHU3]

That was awesome. Reggie is a great host.

 

[Ambient]

Would have loved to hear J Allard's view.

 

[TornadoDDT]

Reggie is living the retirement life

Is this a statement or a question? There is neither a "." or a "?" ;)

 

[Poison Jam]

Reggie? This has got to be the most divisive acquisition yet

 

[Neiteio]

This is amazing, lol

 

[KC-Slater]

I laughed.

 

[Daddy JeanPi]

What a crossover.

 

[The Iron Banana]

Maybe J Allard wasn't able to make it? He definitely should have been involved. Then again he might have declined since he's moved on.

 

[JuicyPlayer]

Will Reggie be on game pass day 1?

 

[Michilin]

Reggie straight up skipped Wii U lmao

 

[daTRUballin]

Any chance we could get a summary of all the topics/stories they covered? Or at least all the major or more interesting points?

 

[Jaymageck]

This video is fascinating. Watched the entire thing. Honestly if it had just been 40 minutes of Peter Moore telling anecdotes alone that would've sold me, but the whole panel was great.

Was there some drama that we all missed?

 

[Grue]

Fun watch. Always fun to hear inside baseball, especially when people at the top have a bit of distance, and can discuss things more openly.

Yeah, the Nextlander boys cited there was no way they'd have J Allard during the 20th Anniversary stream, even with Robbie Bach welcomed back.

Probably because it would be too cool

And they say that American Game Companies don't have culture. smh
