Xbox Boss Says More Industry Execs Should Play Games

July 8, 2015

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer believes the industry would benefit if more high-ranking industry execs would actually play video games.

The Xbox boss is a self-proclaimed gamer and his Xbox Live Gamerscore is evidence to that claim. Do you agree with his sentiment that more decision making execs in the industry should dedicate time to playing games?
