Gaming🎮 You can now own a digital bobblehead of the man that laid off 900 people at PlayStation before he retired

The latest PlayStation Stars digital collectible is a bobblehead of Jim Ryan, the soon to be former PlayStation boss whose last major act at the company is laying 900 people off.

Last September, Ryan announced that he is retiring from his role as PlayStation boss after 30 years at the company. And now, to commemorate his time at the company, through PlayStation's Stars program that lets you collect digitable objects (that definitely aren't NFTs), you can now get "A nod to Jim Ryan," the pun obviously intended there as it's a bobblehead of Ryan. "Help us celebrate Jim Ryan's 30 years at PlayStation by playing any one of the many impressive games he championed as CEO and get a special Digital Collectible," reads the item's description. "Happy retirement, Jim!"

I'm sure being the boss of PlayStation allows you to have quite the comfortable retirement, but I'm not sure if it's work that I'll remember him for - as last month, one of Ryan's last big acts at the company was laying off 900s of its employees, including the complete shutdown of London Studio (a studio he visited and happily smiled in photos with less than a week before this news). "Thanks for 30 years of hard work and great games, Jim" indeed.
