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

[–] Shadywack@lemmy.world 105 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Good riddance to that fucking scumbag.

[–] Wooki@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

This golden parachute is glorious.

He says exiting the building.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 99 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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 40 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

Wally has all the prerequisites of being their CEO, Lack of talent

Get off my lawn!

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 61 points 10 months ago

Fuck this guy.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

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.

And absolutely nothing of value was lost.

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

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I hope he goes to the sun.

I am worried that he will just be CEO elsewhere.

[–] Cossty@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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 20 points 10 months ago

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

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] Neato@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

At least Raphael is charming.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I trust Ralphy over Bobby Kotick.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

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 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)
[–] Dra@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Is there a scraped list in text format somewhere?

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Christopher Lambert?!

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

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Imagine getting paid that much to ruin everything you touch.

[–] quams69@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I hope he departs life next

[–] aciDC14@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tetcher@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

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.
