We’re angry and saddened, and we start today more determined to bring people together across the world to accelerate the work necessary to drive change.”
Phil Spencer, head of gaming at Microsoft, raised his voice on the issue as well: “Hate has no home on Xbox. Team Xbox is appalled by the violence and racism against Asian communities. For all Asian players and peers, I want you to know that we see you, we hear you, and we will and must do more together to #StopAsianHate.”
Bethesda, a subsidiary of Microsoft, also tweeted out support for #StopAsianHate, saying it “rejects racism in all forms and stands in solidarity with our Asian employees and the AAPI community. We will continue efforts within our organization and communities to help drive change.”
