Phil Spencer visited Blizzard today

I wonder if Blizzard ever makes another RTS. My instinct is to say no because it won’t move the needle for Xbox but they did release AOE4 last year and it is fucking good.

Just put Starcraft 2 and D2R on Steam and I’m happy.

This.....
Also put out Age of Empires on it.. I don't even care 1 or 2!

Nadella said that exclusive Activision games make no strategic sense, but I'm not sure this would be extended to all Microsoft IPs. Would be wild if it did happen.

Comms officer Lulu. She’s hot as fuck and when working at Substack tweeted some pretty based stuff. Activision turned her into an NPC.

You can tell Lulu has a burner account on xwitter for politics. Surprised the resetera mob hasn’t tried to get her fired. You can tell she’s not a leftist but she rides the line of what she can say, kinda like the way Chris Pratt drives them up the wall.

In short I wanna kiss her right between the cheeks.

that i've actually been outside and have met real life people?
?? Quite the opposite. I come from a small town in Mississippi, that is very conservative. I was never exposed to much “variation” (for the lack of a better word) in people. I had similar thoughts as you at one point in my life. All I can say is what you think you know is wrong. I now travel the US and have met many different people. I have come to learn that different places have different societal standards, and what color someone hair is doesn’t tell you dick about what type of person they are inside.

Challenge yourself to not do what so many sheltered individuals do, which is to go with your “first thought”. Often, our first thoughts are pretty off base, and many times just awful.
 
Unionbusting and shitposting chief officer at Blizzard
The only people who should argue against unions are business owners. Unionized workers make more money, get better benefits, more vacation. I get why business owners argue against it but, if you work for someone else and argue against it, serious low iq problems... A person who does that is very highly "regarded"....

I’m in Vegas for a few more months, and it’s mind boggling that casino restaurant staff can actually provide for their family. It’s all because of Unions. The cooks, valet, housekeeping staff all have a pension and healthcare.

Imagine how many thousands of dollars it cost to make all those people stop working and go outside for a picture.
They have to know layoffs are coming, right? This is acquisition 101.

They’ll save even more once the layoffs start happening. This was a publicity stunt. Probably not as bad as EA where people came back from paternity and maternity leave just to be handed a nice pink slip by Jade Raymond.

Oh so that’s what she did to Patrice after taking credit for his game.

That ladies boob has the exact shape of a xenomorph head. I wish I was good at photoshop.

Fucking corporate culture is some weird shit, imagine this big ass production, everybody come on outside we gotta welcome our new overlord, and act happy.
This only means the next slate of microtransactions in D4 and OW2, is delayed by a day. Costing them 2MM. Phil’s already derailing them…

Did he tell them to unfuck WarCraft 3?
Phil is incapable of making good games. That's why normal gamers can't wait for him to get his cardboard box and resignation... I mean "retirement"... letter ready.

His projects will make you beg for Reforged content.
 
Damn, Phil Spencer probably got too see some new secret Starcraft action behind closed doors. Gonna go out on a limb and say they dropped the RTS and made it a FPS or TPS. Lucky bastard. Lol.

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

Also hating on people who dye their hair.


Is everyone here like 70 years old? Are tattoos and piercings an affront to decency too? jesus christ lol
No offense but if you're a person who's dyed their hair a bright vivid colour to stand out you sound like you're a narcissistic asshole who probably smells their own farts thinking they are dreamy and get upset when others tell you your farts smell like shit.

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?

I don't like how aggressively his person is marketed towards the core gaming audience. This makes me dislike him as a person even though I don't know him. On top of that I don't like the Microsoft corporation.

But if they fix Blizzard and make World of Warcraft great again, I will built a Spencer shrine in my bedroom and will never ever say anything bad about him.
