Xbox's Phil Spencer discusses "not exploiting" a global pandemic

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has spoken out about the delicate situation games companies find themselves in during the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
In an interview with Business Insider, the exec acknowledged that Xbox -- like so many games firms -- has seen certain benefits from the majority of people spending more time at home, but is being careful not to take advantage of the situation.
"We wanted to be very thoughtful and not exploiting the situation," he said. "We're not putting in place any different business tactics or other things.
"We're just trying to keep all the services up, trying to keep the games enjoyable, keeping our networks safe and secure. And being there at a time of need. I'm proud that we can provide this activity for people."
He noted that social distancing measures have driven people to use video games as one of many ways to connect with friends and family, adding that, "Gaming right now, globally, is having a moment."
