Xbox Live Helped Me Get Dream Job

MarcelJoffe · May 5, 2017

Just a few months ago I was playing xbox live with a friend I have never met. We had been playing on and off for a little over 4 years until he asked me if I was interested in aerospace insurance, there was a spot open for an underwriter. I was working as
an airport manager then and thought, why not try, I probably won't get the job. It was a win-win, I still had a pretty nice career anyways. However I ended up getting an interview and it led all the way up to being interviewed by the entire office in the conference
room. Real scary by the way, I had no clue what kind of job I was getting myself in to. When it came down to how I found out about the job, I had mentioned it was through xbox live. Eyebrows raise and I had never been so mortified, but it was just amazing
to realize that all it took was to just send in my resume to a random xbox friend. Anyways all I can say is thank you xbox for changing my life. I am now out of honky tonk north carolina and now living in Chicago. Always and forever xbox.

I would say "okay guys, enough with the games, let´s make the UNSC and Halo Spartans "

Then I would enter my spaceship and fly to my the death star where I play all the kind of video games we can´t have right now

I was just being honest. If I took over at the helm of Xbox I probably wouldn't care much at all about pleasing gamers, just my bottom line.

Besides, if anyone was to replace this guy do you really think he/she would try to devise ways to make Xbox better for gamers? Or, do you think he/she would find a way to make more money for shareholders? Methinks it would be the latter.

Of course it would be great if LIVE were free or sold at a reduced rate but MS has learned that it has a steady stream of customers paying for this service so where is the motivation to stop charging for it? Look at all the people who stayed with this platform
after the massive failure rate of the early 360 consoles! That right there is a clear indicator to MS that they do not have to chase us because we are firmly attached to their ballsack.

Next generation? The formula will probably have to change because we all have the choice to start fresh with a new company. Right now many of us are locked in to Xbox simply because of building up a library of games over the years.

[/quote]Nice post and i agree with most of it, especially the last sentence.
