So the PSN price increase was to fund his early retirement?

 

[bender]

Phil buying Jim next Wednesday?

 

[BlvckFox]

 

[tmlDan]

all the mean people got to him, too much pressure

He didn't have the Phil Spencer Rizz

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

What!?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Sad that this legendary gif will be retired

 

[squarealex]

WTF

 

[FoxMcChief]

Phil buying Jim next Wednesday?

Pretty sure he’s owned him for a while.

 

[Bry0]

Phil signing that ps5 cover meant more than y’all realize.

 

[Kacho]

Lmao

 

[ByWatterson]

Wow! Wonder who will take his place. Hermen?

 

[NeonDelta]

Excellent news

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Can’t say I’ll miss him.

 

[Antwix]

Is Don Mattrick available?

 

[zapper]

I hope he retires and hasn't been kicked out or anything, honestly I liked his work

 

[jshackles]

Footage of him leaving Sony HQ:

 

[ultrazilla]

 

[Eotheod]

Was there a clause in his contract that if he doesn't stop Activision Microsoft acquisition then he must be shamefully kicked out of the cool club?

 

[Agent X]

Wow, that's surprising. I wonder who will replace him?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Heimdall_Xtreme I think you'll like this news lol.

 

[FoxMcChief]

My interest in PS went down with him at the helm. Good riddance. Excited to see who the bring in, or promote.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Wtf this is unexpected

 

[squarealex]

And Phil Spencer always CEO of Xbox Microsoft ? WTF this world...

 

[analog_future]

 

[AetherZX]

 

[FoxMcChief]

Wonder if it’s tied to his action/inaction with Xbox acquisition of Activision/Blizzard.

 

[nikos]

Bring KAZ back.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[rofif]

I mean... he was a honest business man at the very least.
But he almost destroyed playstation too

 

[Insane Metal]

End of an era. Damn.

Out of nowhere

 

[SJRB]

 

[Bernoulli]

 

[64bitmodels]

all the mean people got to him, too much pressure

Phil Rizzpencer.

[Kagoshima_Luke]

 

[TheRedRiders]

I don't have a strong opinion on him honestly, but I imagine most of the Playstation fanbase had mixed feelings about his leadership even though he has successfully maintained Playstation dominance since the start of the generation.

 

[Bilu]

Sony in crisis, let's wait for the next news.

 

[Bernoulli]

And Phil Spencer always CEO of Xbox Microsoft ? WTF this world...

I expected this from Spencer not jim

 

[Topher]

 

[OverHeat]

Damn…sad to see him go. He is the one that put Sony exclusive on pc too

 

[Reckheim]

All things considered, Playstation sold real well under him so he did a good job.

Imo Ceo's should have a short shelf life so this is good. I'd be nice if other gaming CEO's did the same.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I expected this from Spencer not jim

PlayStation actually changed like 4 bosses during PS4 time alone, so why not. It would be interesting to see who will replace Ryan.

 

[DonF]

Good riddance you disgusting suit!

Bring someone who doesn't just care about live service and the bottom line.
I would LOVE hermen hulst for the job!

 

[64bitmodels]

 

[odhiex]

Good luck, Jimbo!!

 

[Banjo64]

The ABK deal killed one of the CEOs all right. But it wasn't Phillip.

It was Jim all along Austin.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

 

[StealthGoblin]

Pretty sure he’s owned him for a while.

Don't know what you've been smoking. Ryan's taken Xbox to down and plastered them.

 

[Pejo]

Hope they replace him with somebody from the gaming side of the business instead of a bean counter. But we all know it's gonna be another bean counter.
