Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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

[–] Shadywack@lemmy.world 108 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good riddance to that fucking scumbag.

[–] Wooki@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

This golden parachute is glorious.

He says exiting the building.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 102 points 2 years 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

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 2 years 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.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years 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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Wally has all the prerequisites of being their CEO, Lack of talent

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Get off my lawn!

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 63 points 2 years ago

Fuck this guy.

[–] TheMadIrishman@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And absolutely nothing of value was lost.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years 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.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope he goes to the sun.

I am worried that he will just be CEO elsewhere.

[–] Cossty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] Neato@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

At least Raphael is charming.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I trust Ralphy over Bobby Kotick.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Most psychopaths look like this.

[–] Computerchairgeneral@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago
[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] Dra@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

Is there a scraped list in text format somewhere?

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Christopher Lambert?!

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

[–] quams69@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I hope he departs life next

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Imagine getting paid that much to ruin everything you touch.

[–] aciDC14@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tetcher@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] chrishazfun@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Looks like Christmas isn't the only holiday I'm celebrating this December.
