Hopefully he can do a far better job than whoever was in charge of such negotiations going nowhere.

This is the first time I heard of YouTube Gaming... Just shows how far behind I am with the play here, there and everywhere, thing☺️
What is rôle will be for xbox exactly nothing is really explain to us.
Give him a couple million and make sure you fire more grunts to make sure he gets a nice paycheck.
Remember when MS ended Mixer and then said they were gonna partner with Facebook Gaming?
To little, to late I'm afraid. Like hiring a former PlayStation talent in Japan. Microsoft should have done this years ago.
As it won't be for Xbox hardware as it will probably gone by the time these deals see the benefits. So must be for its 3rd party push.
YouTube,eh? Let’s hope these “Global Partnerships” will not result in sometimes-skippable 5-second ads during Xbox gameplay…
