Back in 2019 Sarah Bond started coming up within Xbox & Microsoft with lots of potential and building Game Pass Ultimate. If the reports are true, looking back at Bond’s legacy in 2026 she did more damage to Xbox than Don Mattrick did in 2013.

Nadella has been on the record for saying he has no love for exclusivities He's also the one who ultimately greenlit the 'This is an Xbox' marketing I think it's really easy to blame Bond since she left

She did not have the power to make these changes to Xbox alone. So how is she being scapegoated as the mastermind of the downfall? That’s all on Phil’s head.

Better question: why did Sarah Bond have such unilateral authority over the brand and platform? She was at best the third in charge yet she somehow destroyed the brand yet somehow inflicted all this damage completely unresisted?

She did damage, huh?

Wow , yall realy let urself played like fiddle , no suprise there , as good lil corp slaves. Multiplat idea was already mentioned by Phil before Sarah did. Even now yall dont speak up , yall not xbox fans , yall dont care. All u care is attention on social media , cuz ur lonely ?

Of course it was Project latitude and everything is an xbox damaged the brand so bad they didn't let Phil get a retirement tour

Gamepass is not the issue and the best thing we've gotten from Xbox period

But yet… y’all christened her as the next coming for the Xbox.

You all loved her and defended her every step of the way. Anyone said anything about her and you all chased them to the ends of the earth. Now all of you want back exclusives and you hate her for the decisions she made, out of the blue because of a report. Fickle xbox fanbase.

The difference is Don Mattrick built Xbox up to its peak then dropped it on its head to its lowest point.

You Xbox fanboys are the most gullible people in X

Renting games for $30 a month lmao

No you can buy into fully what article wrote which I think isn’t accurate but nothing is worst than Matrick! Xbox is still better off than when he left!

No. Don Mattrick kills Xbox.

How the fuck do yall go from don to bond. And not look at the horrible leader Phil. Yall let that man play yall twitter fanboys like a fiddle. since 2015 he's been saying this is xbox year and yall just kept eating his shit. he was a liar and terrible fit for xbox.

Not buying that article for one minute.

SHUT THE FUCK UP DUMB ASS

Like I said. @asha_shar needs to fight for exclusive games. I don’t care if the consoles dies. Die with some pride. I’m getting ready to trade my xbox right now for the ps5 pro. At Best Buy. Xbox has 0 exclusives so why tf would I want it?

Game Pass/game Pass Ultimate is not a bad thing for me. Even some of the added benefits are really good like Fortnite Crew.

Bro since that video they took away Gold and doubled the price LOL

No way. There is no way she even came close to Mattrick.

BS she didn't have the power to make all these decisions that belongs to Phil Satya and Amy Hood before Sarah but sure blame her.

Don Mattrick is the reason everything else happened. If it wasn't for the weaker hardware, horrendous presentation and higher price the gap between PS4 and Xbox One (a proper name might have helped too) would have been small. There were good (time) exclusives on that console.

Nah that’s crazy Donny did way worse damage, Xbox still struggling after that fight in 2013 😬

Sarah bond has become the worst Xbox executive of history , no matter what people think of Don mattrick , he grew the 360 to high marks it was the Xbox one launch that fumbled

capping then or now? lol

Let’s be real. There was good and bad. No 1 person sank it. Phil, Satya, Sarah, Matt, Amy etc all had their parts. Lots of opinion and conclusions flying around. Unless you are in those rooms, you likely will never know the truth of what was going on.

Objectively wrong

Believing Tom Warren was your first mistake, the guys a hack who always makes shit up.

Done more damage to Xbox but Phil Spencer was in charge for all of Xbox and the decisions being done to Xbox was given by the CEO and Phil Spencer had to execute that decision on behalf of shareholders. Jfc you guys don't think too far into this and already blame Sarah Bond.

Nedella Failed They Thought Everybody Run To Gp But That Not Happen PS Plus Had Way More Variety
