The CEO and his management team created this, they did not take care of the workforce, and they cultivated the most recent reputational damage.

I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.
Congratulations, which sport?
If this game releases with good quality my friends and I are day 2 customers for sure. Seems fun as hell from the videos.
This guy was brought on the team as a distraction, and his axing is already planned for a moment where they want to steal the news cycle
So you want to try create the right moments for deeper conversation, I think that would be more likely away from his mates? I don’t know them so just guessing.
With that in mind, maybe Google around for anything interesting or different happening in the area. A gardening or book faire, wine or coffee festival, anything relaxed. Then ask him if he wants to go. Ideally something quiet that has some walking around?
That might create helpful conditions.
Tricky, but you could take the approach of just putting it on the table:
"Hey, I have a weird random question… " And then ask if he thinks there is life elsewhere in the universe or what he thinks is going on with flat earthers or whatever. It isn’t bad to be a bit random in timing.
In terms of timing specifics though, you don’t want to do it in the middle of some other discussion, so you normally wait for a quiet moment or a lull in the current conversation. Typically depends on what’s going on. I find something like building puzzles together is great for this, because you’ve both got something to do but it’s not so intense as to block easy conversation that just meanders a bit. Just an example though.
When you are together, what are you normally doing? Long drives are easier to find ok moments, studying in the library or in the middle of a dentist appointment less so
You could try asking some deep questions, see what comes out of that.
Bright future! Stay on top of AI, it’s at minimum a tooling revolution but of course potentially way more.
Best of luck!
Exactly, if you choose to work for a company then that is in support and furtherance of that companies goals / operations.
We are not so helpless as we sometimes like to claim.
Yeah, that would really ruin the dating outcome we’re kinda shooting for I feel.
When I was thinking through the challenge of entering dating, little did I realize that we’d soon be exchanging murderer dodging tips.
Valuable knowledge no doubt but damn 😂
Yeah, I like them but I’m firmly in the camp of waiting for player reviews. We’ll see.
I’m not super into anime, no connoisseur by any measure, but I recently felt like there might be something great to watch in that area. I looked up highly rated anime and Frieren came up.
I’ve watched a few episodes and it seems, well there’s no question it’s well made and a great story, but it’s pretty heavy. Sad at times. Does it get happier and more fun, or is this the tone throughout?
If so I might have to try something else.
With his ethics there’s no way I’d let any company controlled by him attach itself to my brain.
I have a hard time imagining that for any profit driven corporation, but most especially him.
I wonder if there’s any value to considering the point he makes on its own merits.
And billionaires are also bad.
This space is less capitalistic than you might be used to. It’s more of a small town square, and we hang corporates for team building.
Only some people will get access I presume
Well, rather this than a bad release
Yeah, but Kotick was not really the real issue. He’s a straw man of sorts, a target dummy, designed to draw fire for unpopular decisions.
It is the board and shareholders who massively incentivized him into that behaviour. CEOs are brought in to act in the interests of shareholders, while also abstracting them away from blame and direct culpability.
The goal of blizzard (and any other publically listed company) is wealth creation for shareholders via share price growth, not making games per se.
