Geez grandpa, who shat on your lawn?
Did you get dumped by some chick or dude that had bright hair or where does your hate towards them come from exactly?

Perpetually offended....like clockwork lmao

 

[Hudo]

His projects will make you beg for Reforged content.

Reforged is so fucking shit that I honestly believe Phil can only do better.

Who is that woman and why does she look like a clown though? It is so over the top, in-your-face that it detracts from the whole interview. Nobody can take her seriously, and it taints Microsoft by association. Maybe the execs think it makes them down with the kids? But that is not what a typical gamer looks like, nor does the typical gamer like women looking like that either.

Quick someone paint phil's hair.

Isn’t Nintendo the Pixar of gaming?

No, Miyamoto is the Spielberg of gaming, Spielberg of course has Dreamworks, so Miyamoto works for Nintendo which means that Mario is Shrek, Samus is Buzz Lightyear and Donkey Kong is Donkey.

Looks like a Chilly reception.

Stuck in the snow bank cooperate red tape.

I read the title as
"Phil Spencer visited Brazzers today"

Coming soon to Game Pass

 

[Fashionably Late]

I heard from someone there that most of the speeches were pretty boring, but that Phil’s was actually pretty good. It sounded like people are optimistic about the change, but that of course is just one person’s perspective.

If you get a new boss who expects only a bare minimum of effort then I can see how that would be popular with the staff.

Nah, Blizzard:

The irony of the supermodels of NeoGAF jumping at the chance to ridicule the appearance of someone.

Have you ever visited the "post a picture of yourself" thread?

Neogaf be looking mighty fine.

 

[devilNprada]

It truly is bizarre, tbh.

It was mandatory..

 

[cripterion]

It truly is bizarre, tbh.

These big acquisitions are almost NEVER wanted by employees. Things almost unanimously change for the worse. People end up getting laid off. Benefits get cut. More layers of middle management BS to deal with, all sorts of ESG nonsense as well. Imagine Phil, after failing spectacularly for Xbox for decades, decides to acquire your company....how confident would you feel about that?

Any time some big wig executive comes on site after acquiring your company, it feels like this: Photoshop Phil's face on this dude

I understand the sentiment, but in Blizzard's case, how much worse can it get? I think they rather have Phil "Big Spender" than Bobby "Dick".

Bobby knew how to make money at least. I'm not sure if giving current Blizzard more freedom will yield any better results, release schedule is already bad.

lol unlike spender, bobby dick actually figured out how to make money.
phil would be wise to not touch anything, but knowing how he operates, get prepared for the shit show I'd say

 

[Zathalus]

Yeah Bobby knows how to make money, if just led to the utter destruction of Blizzards reputation.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Bobby, how could you?!

 

[SportsFan581]

Hey, psst, Phil watch the calories dude, think of our shrine photos.

 

[Zathalus]

Bobby, how could you?!

I said reputation, not game quality. I like Diablo 4 myself but the reception around micro transactions as well as the loot box situation with Overwatch 2 has done some reputational damage.

You think Bobby Kotick gives a damn about his reputation when it doesn't impact his pocket book one iota?

Cue the crying with money gif.

 

[Rick Dangerous]

Havn't noticed before how HUGE he is now. Definitly too much parties to celebrate all those acquisitions...

We talking about the wrong pic.

I'm a big gay, but damn!

 

[mckmas8808]

I find it funny that these people still don't know that dyeing your hair doesn't count as an alternative for having a personality. You'd think they would at least entertain the idea of "hey the head of Xbox at MS is coming, maybe i shouldn't dress up like an actual clown on camera when we chat" would be a thought that goes through ones head.

here's a quick guess, She loves Marvel and Harry Potter, hate's Dave Chapelles comedy but finds Amy Schumer hilarious, has Funko pops all over her desk and loves to be "one of the lads" and joins them at strip clubs and sports bars, even though she attends feminist meetings and shouts "all men are bad". She is Painfully "sex positive" maybe even has an onlyfans or webcam account, she obviously loves dungeons and dragons and would play settlers of Catan over going out for a healthy walk and actually getting fresh air.

did i miss anything?

Probably stress eating from the ABK drama over the last 2 years.
