Shane Kim To Retire From Microsoft
January 01, 0001 | By **A. Sinclair**
Microsoft exec Shane Kim, formerly the corporate vice president of 
Microsoft Game Studios and current corporate vice president of Strategy and Business Development for the Interactive Entertainment Business, will leave that verbose title behind later this year. He’s retiring.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In his role at Microsoft Game Studios, Kim oversaw [[link]] releases such in the Halo, Age of Empires, Fable, Gears of War and Forza Motorsport franchise for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms. His career at the company spanned some 19 years, with 14 of those working in Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division.
Kim is said to be leaving at the end of the year, according to a report from GameSpot. Curiously, it was rumored that the Microsoft exec [[link]] was planning on leaving late last year. While we’ve talked to Shane a number of times, with the exception of his participation in the Great E3 Chain Interview, our favorite story involves his behind-the-curve awareness of [[link]] Resident Evil 5 for the Xbox 360. Good times…

a few rungs on the corporate ladder are now vacated. Phil Spencer will be promoted to Kim’s old job as CVP of Microsoft Game Studios. He’s currently the general manager of that group. Dennis Durkin, the Chief Financial Officer of the Interactive Entertainment Business, will become that group’s COO. Microsoft’s Spencer promoted, Kim retiring [GameSpot]

I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds. Every spin feels like an adventure, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch, making the experience immersive and exciting. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back.

I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds. Every spin feels like an adventure, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch, making the experience immersive and exciting. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The mobile interface is smooth and intuitive. I can play all my favorite slots on the go without experiencing any lag or glitches. The design is responsive and user-friendly, which makes gaming on my phone just as enjoyable as on my computer.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
