Xbox Live's director of policy and enforcement, Stephen Toulouse has resigned from his position at Microsoft after 18 years at the company, he's confirmed.
"Despite the wonderful ability in Microsoft to change careers pretty dramatically inside the company, I've been there nearly 18 years and it's the only world I've ever known," he wrote. "I feel too strangely comfortable, and too strangely tied.
"I want to make sure I am clear: this is a positive thing. I have nothing but confidence in the future of Microsoft and specifically Xbox and Xbox Live. I have enormous gratitude for my time there."
Good luck for whatever you decide to do next, Stephen.

Strange... why leave if you are comfortable, making good money, have the ability to change career's inside of Microsoft, and don't know what you want to do next??? Mid-life crisis?

His legacy is giving us the Rep system, a system which anyone can put anything against you, whether true of false, a complete load of b*****ks, also a userbase who will mod, cheat or just be pure scumbags and betray, a userbase of underage children using 18 rated content, thanks stephen for your contribution and now f**k off.
