A face we often see at the promotion of Xbox consoles, Major Nelson announced that he will leave Microsoft at the end of 20 full years.
Major Nelson is in our memories as a face we often see in the promotion of Microsoft’s Xbox consoles. We all have it Major Nelson even though we know it as his real name Larry Hrybis . Larry has announced that he will no longer work with Microsoft.
Major Nelson is leaving Microsoft after a long period of work says it’s time for vacation
In the statement made by Larry Hryb, it was said that after 20 years of working with Microsoft, it was time for a vacation. Hryb also said he will enjoy the warm seas of Seattle for the holidays and then return to the industry for new projects. This means that although Major Nelson has retired, Hryb will continue to work.
Hryb also thanked the players who brought Major Nelson to this point.
While giving his interview, Hryb also thanked the millions of players who made Major Nelson a part of their lives. It seems that we won’t be seeing Major Nelson again, as a character that players love and shake hands frequently at conferences and promotions in the 20-year Xbox adventure.
New adventures seem possible for Hryb after the holidays
Hryb also signaled that he could embark on new adventures after his vacation in Seattle. We don’t know exactly if we will see Hryb in promotions as another character anymore. We know that there is no work performed or signed yet.
Now that the player-loved Major Nelson has announced the news of his retirement, it will be fine for Hryb to sail new seas. In his interview, he said that he remembers his 20-year adventure very well and that he will remain in his memories.
The Microsoft adventure for Larry Hryb began in 2001. He took his first job as editor-in-chief for MSN Music. Later, he started working in the Xbox field with the title of senior project manager. What made him famous was the Major Nelson radio podcast. At the time, no one knew that this podcast would become the official Xbox podcast.
Despite taking on a new and better post in 2012, he has retained his nickname, Major Nelson. Moreover, he has always said that he is very happy to work at Xbox and that he loves his job since the first moments of his working life.
