Yeah, I think at the moment it's still early days, right?

But she's doing all the right things, right?

As you would want to do to focus on the fans, right?

She's trying to win back that sort of set of people initially.

So I think she's setting up this feedback framework so the fans can be like, oh, we want this, which is predominantly we want exclusives back.

That's the main message from fans, which is not too surprising, I guess.

And also dropping the Microsoft Gaming name that they used internally.

All that sort of stuff does kind of put it back, the focus on Xbox.

And I think it's more important for employees, really.

I've heard over the last two years that people have been, you know, pretty upset with Xbox and working there and stuff, a lot of folks.

But I think that is starting to slowly turn.

So the people that were saying a lot back to me are now saying, well, there's a little bit of hope, you know?

Like, Asha gets it.

She's listening to the right people.

And she has obviously Satya Nadella and Amy Hood, the CFO, have obviously given her a bit of runway, a bit of leeway to sort of not have those strict margins, which I think undermine Xbox the last couple of years.

So she's got a bit more free reign to perhaps do some stuff.

Yeah, that's the big question.

It's like a lot of the strategy stuff sounds a lot like it was before, right?

You know, playing everywhere.

So it's not too dissimilar.
