I don’t want to bad mouth industry people on here, but if you watch the recent double fine documentary and how they treated Mr. Booty’s visit or conference call, I think they knew very well how this guy operates:

And episode name for the Xbox head visit?

“Villians of Crunch Mode”.

(Where Schafer explains why he was convinced by Booty on the acquisition, interesting rewatch at this point.)

At some point, of course, you can argue where the recent layoff stemmed from; and I think it wouldn’t happen without MSFT’s CEO and its board of directors, but choosing what to give is likely down to the Xbox leadership, and I think they chose poorly.

Important note: Matt Booty is also the only person on this planet (that I know of), to use “peanut butter on bread” in a negative sense.

@bitinn That's just butchering a quote from The Lord of the Rings.
