Just imagine if Deutsche Bank boss Christian Sewing and Commerzbank boss Manfred Knof were semi-publicly bickering about which of their two houses should be allowed to buy the Hypovereinsbank from Unicredit. And meanwhile, fans of Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank created funny pictures and videos depicting the two as wrestlers or as movie heroes fighting each other.
Hard to imagine in the world of banking, but commonplace in the world of video games. The biggest personality cult at the moment is probably around Phil Spencer and Jim Ryan. Spencer is the head of Microsoft’s gaming division and responsible for the Xbox brand, while Ryan is responsible for Sony’s Playstation. Both tend to be second-tier managers in their companies; nevertheless, they have attracted a great deal of attention in recent weeks. They are two key figures in the dispute over Microsoft’s acquisition of video game maker Activision Blizzard.
