That man has never played a video game in his life and you can't convince me otherwise.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 16 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty sure he's said he hates games. He's all business.

[-] shutz@lemmy.ca 34 points 11 months ago

I hear Unity is looking for a new CEO

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhut the fuck up

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago

After EA's former CEO ran it to the ground

[-] ram@bookwormstory.social 4 points 11 months ago

Sony too.

How are the biggest, most unknowledgeable pieces of shit always at the head of what they shouldn't be?

[-] okamiueru@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

The ratio of sociopaths in leadership positions is much higher than outside it.

[-] Arcane_Trixster@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

They make money.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

money

[-] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Because the things they're knowledgeable in and valued for have fuck all to do with consumers or the product.

[-] iforgotmyinstance@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Sucks he has to be paid to go away pretty much. This whore has ruined so many workers lives.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 16 points 11 months ago

Unless he's stepping down from a gallows via a trap door I'm not that interested

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Maybe he's stepping down into a pool of lava?

[-] muse@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

Legitimately the best news to come out of this merger

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

Shit sack made out like a bandit though. Useless pieces of crap always make out like bandits.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Good.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Riddance.

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

Guy is a fucking buffoon.

[-] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 8 points 11 months ago

Microsoft steps in

...I'm mixed on this being better or worse.

[-] AnonTwo@kbin.social 18 points 11 months ago

Of all the issues I have with the acquisition, none of them have to do with Microsoft replacing Kotick.

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Better. Holy fuck. Way better.

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 11 months ago

It can't be worse. Worse case scenario Activision remains the same cesspool.

[-] hogart@feddit.nu 4 points 11 months ago

I'm very interested in how anything could be worse. I'm so happy a company bought ActBlizz. Might turn this ship arround just a little bit

[-] Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

Great, thanks.

[-] avater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Insert Thor Yes Meme here!

[-] jeebus@kbin.social -1 points 11 months ago

This is the man to help me beat my addiction. May he have the biggest golden parachute!

[-] Moof_Kenubi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

And may it crush him flat when he lands.
