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, rather than going after Microsoft. He’s now going after the users, who responded to one of his typical messages filled with resentment, which is basically all he does when talking about Xbox.

Ybarra lashes out at Xbox again

In his latest social media outburst, he responded to a user who called him out for acting like an ex. He quickly unleashed his pent-up anger, saying that the user’s console was dead, referencing Xbox.

The best part is that his message received over 300 replies, with a wide range of responses, where he was criticized for many things. 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 when he talks about Xbox and Microsoft. 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 statement even more questionable.

Ahh the bitter ex
