Yesterday he was just promoted as Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business Group, closed the loop on indie game distribution for the Xbox Live platform, and will shape the future of Microsoft's various entertainment commodities: a huge leap from his early dev days on games like Project Gotham Racing. Sure, he surely just got a fat raise, but mostly I envy Chris because he's about to become the patron saint of indie game makers everywhere."
