Don Matterick quits Ms/ xbox
So, the guy who changed ms xbox divisions fortunes (turned loss into profit) has quit, not long after being the main launch dude for xbox one. Hes moved to zynga, the company who made Farmville.
Weird move, and VERY strange timing.

Was reading a article a few days ago about zynga saying that their not doing too well so he's probably the right man to change that for them

I'm not surprised they aren't doing well. All they do is peddle shite and annoy the fuck out of me with people sending me requests to games they sit on their arse all day playing, because the dole office is closed...

$50m salary could separate me from a lot as well!

Thats a ridiculous money to be paid, I think I'd be dead in a year earning that much . . . .

That is an insane amount, I suppose he thinks that he has turned one business around so now it's time to do that to the next, more about achieving something and moving on than just staying at the same place.
I don't see how companies like Zynga make their money though.

Advertisement home slice.. With the amount of people who will play their games an hour, companies will pay top dolla for advertising on them!
