Few, if any, Xbox executives have attained the status of pop culture icons like Larry Hryb has. Known within the gaming community as Major Nelson (due to his Xbox Live Gamertag), Hryb has had an illustrious career within Microsoft's gaming division, and while he has already departed the company, there has been speculation that his next move might be a rather unexpected one.
Last month, the 60-year-old programmer announced via his Twitter account that he would be leaving Microsoft after more than two decades. Though he did not expound on what his next endeavor would be, he mentioned that he was taking a "step back to work on the next chapter of my career."
What this means is anyone's guess, but a recent image from his Twitter account has brought up some wild speculation from fans. Of course, we all know how keen on speculating fans can get, but sometimes hints can get quite on the nose.
The shared photo reveals Hryb in a selfie, clutching a Nintendo guest pass, with the caption "#JustVisiting." Hryb's visit to Nintendo's American office in Redmond, Washington (which happens to be in close proximity to Microsoft's headquarters), has sparked speculation that a potential collaboration or even a potential move to Nintendo could be in the works.
