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

Da bum tits

Good riddance to that fucking scumbag.

[–] Wooki 15 points 1 year ago

This golden parachute is glorious.

He says exiting the building.

[–] NOT_RICK 104 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year 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 65 points 1 year ago

Fuck this guy.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And absolutely nothing of value was lost.

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

[–] inclementimmigrant 35 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope he goes to the sun.

I am worried that he will just be CEO elsewhere.

[–] Cossty 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

At least Raphael is charming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I trust Ralphy over Bobby Kotick.

[–] samus12345 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most psychopaths look like this.

[–] Donjuanme 20 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

Is there a scraped list in text format somewhere?

[–] bitwaba 1 points 1 year ago

Christopher Lambert?!

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Imagine getting paid that much to ruin everything you touch.

[–] quams69 7 points 1 year ago

I hope he departs life next

[–] aciDC14 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.
