We’ve been saying it for a while now, Mike Ybarra seems like that toxic ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend who can’t get over a breakup, even after all these years. The former head of Xbox Live and other Microsoft divisions never misses an opportunity to attack Xbox and Microsoft, sometimes sugarcoating his words, but ultimately, his true feelings shine through.

His latest “revenge” is even lower, this time directly targeting users. He’s no longer going after Microsoft head-on, but instead, takes a swipe at the users who call him out on his constant bitter remarks about Xbox. When a user confronted him about his behavior, he couldn’t contain his anger and lashed out, saying that their console was dead, clearly referring to Xbox.

Ybarra Takes Another Swipe at Xbox

In his latest social media outburst, he responded to a user who accused him of acting like a bitter ex. He quickly unleashed his pent-up rage, attacking the user and claiming that their console was dead. What’s even more remarkable is that this message sparked over 300 replies, with users calling him out and criticizing his behavior. After that, he quickly changed the subject to American football, which seems to be a safer topic for him, or at least one that doesn’t stir up as much controversy as his Xbox and Microsoft rants. To add insult to injury, Xbox continues to release new games every week, has a new console in development, and is launching a new machine in collaboration with Asus in just 15 days, making his claim even more questionable.

Ahh the bitter ex
