to assume Spencer, in his position as Xbox suzerain, used access to a pre-release version of the game to amass that hour count. If he didn't, then he somehow managed to find 233 hours of spare time to dedicate to the game between its November 10 Xbox release date and just before Christmas. Either that or one day we'll learn that the biggest videogame acquisition in history fell through because one of its key executives got too distracted fighting Dracula.
If you're curious, Spencer is a garlic man, and he also wielded a King Bible, Santa Water, and a magic wand in his run to unlock the game's final achievement. That's not everything he used, mind you, but I literally don't even recognise the rest of the weapons listed in his armoury in the screenshot he posted to Twitter. In fairness to me, I have a paltry 20 hours in Vampire Survivors, not even 10% of Spencer's total.
As for the Activision acquisition, it continues to trudge through an often tedious and sometimes absurd regulatory quagmire. Most recently, the UK Competition and Markets Authority suggested that
No one cares what you think
A video game news outlet, mocking the head of a video game empire, foe playing.... video games. I used to enjoy reading your content. This comment is one level below Kotaku awful.
PCGamer is basically IGN 2.0 with these garbage articles. Imagine ridiculing the CEO of Xbox for playing games. Betting Jim Ryan doesn't have a single platinum trophy. I feel like there might be other things to worry about, Joshua.
No not really.

Lol maybe you should start playing games again yourself and writing about that instead of writing crap. Be glad the guy plays games so he has practical experience for his job unlike some others. Perhaps you should try it.
Wtf kinda take is this? So people shouldn't relax when off work?
He should be working 24/7?
Can someone please explain to me where the idea that Xbox is gonna go under if they don't acquire Acti-Blizz came from? The only thing that will happen if it doesn't go through is....they won't spend the money. How does that equate to the company supposedly failing?
Legend.
I bet if Jim Ryan did this with a game and he talked about it you wouldn’t have written anything. The guys a gamer in his downtime and he likes talking about it, leave him alone. 🙄
So he is not allowed any stress relief or downtime? PG Lamer sinks lower and lower.
Well *someone* has to play videogames, right, gaming journos?
he’s a man of focus and will
I just couldn’t get into this game. I know a bunch of people who love it though.
“Person does _____ on their time off” I better not see a single IGN reporter play videos outside of work. Awful take by this company.
Let the dude play a game 😂 GEEZ
C'mon, let the man have his fun
Man can only worry bout what he can control
👀😂
Garlic is KING!
