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

      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.

      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.

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

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

    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
