本周，微软在GDC 2016举办了一场主题明显带有性别歧视的派对，Xbox首席执行官Phil Spencer今天称之为“绝对错误”。这是游戏行业长期以来在专业会议和活动中出现性别歧视的一个令人不安的事件，尤其是考虑到微软的巨大影响力。这场派对展示了身着暴露服装的**在领奖台上跳舞，这让几位与会者疏远了他们，他们在网上分享了自己的不适和失望。

斯宾塞很快谴责并否认了他的公司今天的行为，他表示，这一事件“代表了Xbox和微软在某种程度上与我们的价值观不一致或不一致”。他说，这种行为“不会被容忍”，微软“未来会做得更好”。目前尚不清楚该公司将如何采取纠正措施，或在多大程度上采取纠正措施——微软拒绝就下一步行动发表评论调查此事，并计划内部处理此事。但Verge确实收到了斯宾塞今天发给整个Xbox员工的电子邮件，您可以阅读以下内容：

How we show up as an organization is incredibly important to me. We want to build and reflect the culture of team Xbox - internally and externally - a culture that each one of us can represent with pride. An inclusive culture has a direct impact on the products and services we deliver and the perception c***umers have of the Xbox brand and our company, as a whole.

It has come to my attention that at Xbox-hosted events at GDC this past week, we represented Xbox and Microsoft in a way that was absolutely not c***istent or aligned to our values. That was unequivocally wrong and will not be tolerated. This matter is being handled internally, but let me be very clear - how we represent ourselves as individuals, who we hire and partner with and how we engage with others is a direct reflection of our brand and what we stand for. When we do the opposite, and create an environment that alienates or offends any group, we justly deserve the critici**.

It's unfortunate that such events could take place in a week where we worked so hard to engage the many different gaming communities in the exact opposite way. I am personally committed to ensuring that diversity and inclusion is central to our everyday business and our core values as a team – inside and outside the company. We need to hold ourselves to higher standards and we will do better in the future.
