Thought this was funny, at least spencer admits the corniness lol

To symbolize this commitment to players, Spencer and the leadership team at Xbox keep an empty chair at the leadership table to represent the customer. Spencer admits it's a bit corny, but it's a constant reminder to the leadership team who they're working for and what they want

Saw it because of this tweet Jason made

Eh I appreciate it. Considering everything they are doing with getting studios, GamePass, PC, Xcloud, etc, it seems to be working

It's a good constant reminder for them. Sure it's corny and even they admit it but it's a good gesture.

I mean it's kinda corny but he admits that himself. Also wasn't this covered in that other thread about that interview?

Unfortunately , we had to let "the customer" go, we had numerous reports of harassment and bullying

Corny. But it's a nice reminder that in many ways, WE the consumer are as much a part of the company's decision making as the Shareholders, and Board of Directors are. Customers aren't always right, but many buisnesses forget that their customers have a lot more power than they think.

Don't see the problem in this, good reminder that just because they like something that doesn't mean the general public will.

people will make a big deal out of this though.

I wonder if they rotate faces for the chair to represent different demographics of consumer groups...
