These people get high on their own shit and think it smells great. They even think it is worth money cause they have this ego complex, and seek out other people that think they have special shit and they push each other's shit. You can become a member of the shitty shit eater club if your parents were shitty shit lovers.

Just fire everyone, jack up prices, crank out uninspired slop for the masses and wonder why no one wants what you're selling, its a winning strategy!

I have to say, what you are saying sounds very intelligent!

Isn’t that the one who is so firmly detached from reality that they envisioned 1 billion users… on Xbox?

And they're gonna pay her how many millions to "right the ship" but that's apparently not a full-time job so she can moonlight for a government gig?

The head of a platform and major game franchise known for users getting baked and playing multiplayer shooters… productivity.

Edit: I rest my case:
