Thanks for calling my post ridiculous and mike_intellivision's pretentious, Mr. Montana. You're in good form today. No, I didn't claim nobody makes fun of the looks of Newell or Ballmer, I said rarely. Youtube videos about Ballmer exist and I've seen the ridiculous thread about Newell, but in no way Ballmer (a CEO) was blamed for the things he said or did in forums as many times as Cammie Dunnaway (a marketing person) is blamed for all her "failures" even a year after E3 2008. |
That's because they were. If you want to call my posts aggressive, fine by me.
The idea that they're rarely made fun of isn't true either. Gabe Newell and Ballmer do their jobs pretty well. Newell hasn't said anything that stupid or over the top (he's said some negative things about the PS3, but they're not a big Valve fanbase anyways), and he's worked with Valve in making some great games. Ballmer has also done great things for Microsoft. Cammie had a really simple job at E3, and she made a lot of gaffes. Plus, she works in marketing. That certainly didn't help.
