That stuff just makes you look fake. 2051344

David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 08/08/2026The wild part to me is that he makes it VERY CLEAR that Complexly does not and will not use AI, so you can continue to trust that team. While at the same time, devaluing himself and the content he creates without seemingly realizing it in the slightest. 030

David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The 10x thing feels to me like the arbitrary number an MBA would put on the TAM growing due to including phones as devices that could stream games down. Not a realistic amount of audience they would get from that increassd market size. 🤷♂️ 000

David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Any feeling for if this is due to union protection forcing Xbox to negotiate? From what I'm aware of, nearly all of the eligible teams at Blizzard have unionized. 010
David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Nah, stopping exclusives was taking a knee. Now they are trying to undo taking a knee which is not really how taking a knee works. If they were waiting out the crisis and building for next gen, they'd keep more of these studios they are closing around to make a banger launch lineup of exclusives. 000
David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I know none of you are buying our console, but this new price really indicates the amount of VALUE we are bringing to you and our shareholders. We know you can't afford it anymore, so we've partnered with Klarna so that the poors can take on debt to buy us more RAM so we can boil the ocean faster. 162

David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Not a Gunpla person, but I am a Gundam person. Models are all based on anime that are sometimes related, but often not beyond big robots and a general anti-war message within (usually) war stories. Out of modern shows, would recommend Iron-Blooded Orphans or The Witch From Mercury if interested! 000
David Mertz @mizukey.bsky.social · 16/06/2026What a way to build trust with your employees and fans. Xbox has become where little sparks of creativity and passion go to fizzle and die instead. Xbox is just going to keep pivoting from idea to idea, never committing to or dreaming of anything, slowly driving out thousands of talented people. 000
