>However, later Bond posted again on LinkedIn and shared a message she sent to the team at Xbox. In the message Bond says, "I know there’s a lot of news to take in today. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together over the past eight-plus years. PC and cloud gaming are growing faster than ever, our next console is well underway, and together we’ve helped lay the foundation for a more open gaming platform that spans devices and reaches players around the world."

    >Bond acknowledges the incoming CEO Sharma, saying, "I’ve had the privilege of spending time with Asha over the last few weeks as we’ve planned for this transition, and I’ve seen firsthand her deep commitment to our players, developers, and brand." She adds, "Xbox deserves this. I’m excited to see her lead this next chapter for our team. I’ll remain on as a Special Advisor to Asha to help ensure a smooth transition and set the organization up for continued success."

    >Bond doesn't mention what her plans are for the future, however, she thanks Spencer "for his mentorship and friendship over the years," calling him "a consistent champion of this business and the people who make it what it is."
