I could've sworn I had NSFW content turned off, but yet there's a picture of a gigantic asshole on this post

Good riddance to that fucking scumbag.

This golden parachute is glorious.

He says exiting the building.

I’m glad he’s finally fucking off, it’s just a shame it’s with such a fat bag of cash

SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 41 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Don't worry, it's never enough cash, so he will assuredly be back to fucking shit up in some business capacity soon enough.

He's gonna run Unity (further into the ground) I just know it and they're waiting for the new year to send the offer.

Fuck this guy.

And absolutely nothing of value was lost.

pivot_root@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y

Except any good will that Blizzard used to have. But then again, that happened before he left.

And while it's a good thing that this asshat is gone, I'm sure he'll be running another company soon enough and spreading his cancer and bad practices elsewhere very soon as a CEO at some other company.

Plus you know that he's not the only cause of this at the company and his underlings that are just as cancerous with their bullshit are still there.

I hope he goes to the sun.

I am worried that he will just be CEO elsewhere.

Cossty@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Oh he most definitely will be, probably in few months, I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the January he is already CEO again.

Computerchairgeneral@kbin.social · 21 pts · 2y

Good riddance. Shame he's probably walking away with a massive payout for all his incompetence and negligence.

Why do his eyes feel like he's looking to steal my soul?

Similar eyes to this guy:

At least Raphael is charming.

I trust Ralphy over Bobby Kotick.

samus12345@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

At least he keeps his word. Bet he's a better singer, too.

Most psychopaths look like this.

Donjuanme@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 2y

He's going to avoid blame for all the shit that Blizzard is going to experience going forward, likely due to his management.

GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip · 17 pts · 2y

New director starting with "building on the successful launch of starfield,…" doesn’t inspire confidence. Neither did kotick though so let’s just see what happens

Christopher Lambert?!

Nooooooo!!!!! There can be only one!

Imagine getting paid that much to ruin everything you touch.

quams69@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

I hope he departs life next

aciDC14@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Gee, i wonder what next video game company he’ll ruin…

Tetcher@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 2y

Wild card. Paizo. He'll come in like "while pathfinder has been successful I see a lot of room for growth and restructuring". 5 years later, there are now 28 low quality books, all of which are on a subscription model, half the staff are fired, and the company is owned by Amazon... Oh and a crossover with Jack Reacher.

Looks like Christmas isn't the only holiday I'm celebrating this December.
