Microsoft'spromotes Julie Larson-Green, a 19-year company veteran, to head up Xbox——a move that has a lot of gamers very, very upset because she's a woman, who supposedly has no gaming experience. Oh and also, she's hot. When the news hit the social gaming news site N4G, commenters were quick to point out her shortcomings, emphasis .

The type is a bit small, but one of the underlined parts suggests that Larson-Green will create terrible games "dedicated to baking and knitting." Though another calms that person down noting that she's "just another figurehead. Easy on the eyes, too." Over at  we get a lot more on her physical appearance. "Love to get her in front of the Kinect spycam," "milf," and "JLG > Helen Mirren" are the top three comments.

(Would people jump to say that about a dude?—Wainwright suggests not.) Someone in Larson-Green's position probably doesn't have as much time for hardcore gaming as people commenting in video game websites. But, it's also not clear how much loving games, or even gaming-specific industry experience matters for success. There are plenty of examples of success and failure in the gaming world from all sorts of figures, as pointed out by . "A good example is Peter Moore, before working at Sega and subsequently MS, he actually worked at Rebook."
