Blizzard President Mike Ybarra Is Departing Microsoft, Survival Game Has Been Cancelled. New President to be announced next week.

[flaccidsnake]

Take cover folks, MS is gonna give Starcraft to 343.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

He was planted by MS to make the acquisition go through and he was holding back tears when Phil Spencer went on stage at Blizzcon. Bye bitch

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Ybarra really really didn't want to work for MS anymore.

I can picture his reaction when the deal was closed.

No way he was very public with his support. Him and Lulu.

 

[Jim Ryan]

 

[Loy310]

He went in for his annual review and they told him "here, now gtfo"

interesting snippets in here, along with the new blizzard president being announced next week, and bringing Xbox games to more platforms than before, and shifting the survival team elsewhere within Blizzard.

They are 100% changing focus and going full 3rd party on the ABK/Bethesda front. Partial for XGS. Bots dream up 30+ studios making xbox exclusives dead and gone

I was just joking, but I guess I would have been "supportive" too, if some kind of "exit bonus" depended on it.

 

[Petekilla]

Coping.

Coping.

I could go a lifetime without ever seeing what those shills and consolidation cheerleaders have to say ever again.

 

[Loy310]

Coping.

This motherfucker must not have any clue what it is like to lose a job suddenly when you have kids and bills and fuck all to fall back on. God bless the doctors that saved his useless life.

 

[Dabaus]

Infiltrator Saboteur expect Mike moving on to the next target!

Odyssey was many years from being done as per Scbreir in this thread.

Do we need that many corporate shills or merger-specialising lawyers? Don't think anyone would shed a tear if Hogg Slaw lost his job.

QA jobs and devs are not "redundancies".

They all got the word to say it's just office jobs and redundancy but Twitter is full of devs getting fired.

Who's going to do the QA for COD? 343 devs?

Redfall... Starfield....

These clowns be releasing broken ass games but dismissing QA as unimportant and "redundant".... lmao. Add to that the latest COD as well....

 

[Nhomnhom]

Allen Adham was one of the founders of Blizzard 32 years ago.

 

[Dr Bass]

So .. fired, or he quit out of frustration at how things are already going?

 

[Entropi]

His mission to groom Blizzard for the predator is now accomplished. It’s time to enjoy the payout for the effort.

Blizzard dev tributes pour in for the "sick" canceled survival game we'll never play and the "fantastic" team behind it

"I loved this project, and I loved this team"
