Oh great, here we go again. Just when we thought the deal was wrapping up and we could happily get back to our normal gaming news this happens.
'Gaming World Outraged: Microsoft to lose any chance of securing Activsion/Blizzard after Phil Spencer is caught stealing the chickens of neighbor and boss of Sega Sammy Holdings.’
The question has to be asked, why would Phil be stealing Sam’s chickens? I actually reached out to Phil to try and get an explanation but was rudely palmed off. Turns out Nothing New Under The Porch aren’t worth talking to. I did some further research and it turns out Phil wasn’t the first to steal Sammy’s Chickens. Sony boss Jim Ryan also lives next to Sammy Holdings. Sammy came to me this week after hearing I was ignored. Here’s what he had to say.
"This used to be a good street ya know, my chickens could be left out all night no drama’s. One day Jim Ryan moves in and I see him making his way into my yard. I say “wadda ya doin?” Jim says back to me.”
"These are my chickens now, you say anything and I’ll make haggis outta ya.”
Sammy is visibly shaken up and he bravely continues his story.
"I can’t do nothing about it, he’s Jim Ryan and I had no proof plus I’m scared. A week goes by and I have a new neighbor, It’s Phil Spencer of Microsoft. One day I’m in my yard spreading feed out for the girls and I see Phil staring down at me from his second story balcony. It was as if he was looking right through me though. Next day I’m out with the chickens again and Phil clambers awkwardly over my fence. “Uh hey Phil” I say. He looks at me then makes a confident and slow b-line for my chickens with his chest out.”
"Nice chickens, mine have being doing nothing except putting out rotten eggs. Maybe I’ll take yours and they might do something for me.” Phil gave a big belly laugh as he finished and walked on.
"My two girls have nowhere to run and all I can do is take my phone out. I get several clear photos of Phil grabbing my chickens and leaving with them, he was grinning the whole time. I fell to my knees and cried out, “Phil you have all the chickens you need and now I’ve got nothing left, when will you chicken stealing monsters stop!”
Thankfully Sammy has a faithful following and his photos spread online gaining the attention of Activision/Blizzard who were appalled at the situation. Due to this they have withdrawn from any further negotiation talks with Microsoft and their deal is off. Phil Spencer was later quoted as saying, “But Jim Ryan was doing it too!”
It doesn’t look like these guys are going to learn unfortunately. I don’t get why Phil needed more chickens, if he gave his own more time and resources then maybe they wouldn’t be making such rotten eggs. Let's hope we, as a gaming community, can move on.
Head here for the same story with bad voice acting.
