The Big Move

  • Artikel

Some of you may have heard that today is our team's last day on the Millennium campus. I've been here for 7 years, Major for 5 1/2 or so. The new campus, Studios West (or Robbieland, as I like to call it after our illustrious President Robbie Bach) is swanky and more efficient, has better food and more plentiful parking. But we're more than a little bit sad to leave behind the buildings that have witnessed the history of Xbox, Xbox LIVE, and Xbox 360. How many millions --billions?!-- of lines of code were written here? These hallways once reverberated with the giddy sounds of Re-Volt when we first got LIVE going internally. Here we launched an online gaming service that now has over 17 MILLION customers, and 2 game consoles that have changed the way many people think about entertainment. 

I could go on and on about all the great games, accessories, LIVE features, videos, podcasts, afterhours deathmatches, Nerf battles, impromptu keggers, and miletones, but I won't.

I'll be documenting the move over the course of the day...yet another way to procrastinate packing, Here's the first video: I call it "Before" ie, I haven't started packing yet and I have 7 hours to get my act together!

    A while back I wrote that the move to the new building is a sign that Microsoft management has a long term view to stay in the video game marketplace past the current generation of systems. Did they ever name the pub in the commons? Can't wait to check it out the next time I am out in Redmond.

    Congratulations on the move!  I'll be on a tour of Microsoft next month, so hopefully I'll get to see the Xbox offices!  :)
