Id say bad. Rare are a shadow of their former selves, i dont care if sea of thieves is regarded as a success. its the only thing of note in a very long time, and also not very good.
i know nothing about the guy but at a glance looks like another softy yes man.

Besides SoT which was a desaster at release and Everwild, which seems to be a development catastrophe so far......they´ve not put out anything noteworthy since 2008...
edit: sorry missed the sarcasm there

He added: "In his new role, Craig will continue to focus on helping our studios deliver high-quality, differentiated game experiences that can grow into successful franchises and reach more players by investing in new IP."
Hmmm. Sea of thieves probably really helped him get this job. So is he middle management? Probably not but Matty booty is above him so I'm confused exactly what he does.

He's head of all studios. Bethesda and Activision are basically large independent companies and he's over all of that and XGS.

Matt Booty got promoted last year. He is an executive at Microsoft Gaming.

To be fair, Sea of Thieves is doing rather well. Everwild, just needs more time, it went into full-time development in 2019, even then it was in an early state. So while 5 years is a long time, I don't think it's that long especially if it is going to be similar in scale to Sea of Thieves.
Everwild Is Reportedly Progressing Well, At Long Last
According to a new rumor, Rare has finally nailed the gameplay loop on Everwild, which is now progressing well, at long last.

Can’t be any worse than they’ve had for the past decade at least.

Yes, they have not put out anything noteworthy since 2008 besides, by far, their most successful game ever...

one would think that people should be capable to at least read and understand a single sentence before replying.....

Sea of Thieves is the most popular game they've ever released, so their transition into a GaaS studio was very successful. We'll see how Everwild goes, though.

Depends on why Alan retired imo. Could be any reason
It's not usual to retire 1 year after a promotion. His LinkedIn message doesn't make it sound like a health issue either.
Also Booty's statement is interesting, he talks about Alan's tenure as XGS boss contributing to "critically-acclaimed titles", but there's no mention of financial performance (which tracks, of the ones I remember shipping during his tenure: Forza Motorsport was a major flop, Pentiment was a critical darling but wasn't a sales monster, and Avowed got delayed).

One would think that people should be capable to at least realize that dismissing or downplaying their best selling game ever followed by a claim that they haven't made anything noteworthy since before that game's release contradicats the claim itself.

At least he doesn’t have purple or blue hair……..seriously though, very curious to see what if anything will transpire with him at the helm.

So, they've changed Forza Motorsport guy to Everwild guy?
Success is in XGS' DNA.

I’m not saying I didn’t struggle. Just saying it’s not impossible.
