Someone recently shared a touching photo on social media: they placed two Xbox controllers on their father’s grave. The post explained that their dad had bought them their first Xbox, sparking a lifelong love of gaming, and they hoped he could ‘join in’ from heaven.
I saw this post and then David Jaffe, who made God of War and Twisted Metal, replied with ‘This is an XBOX.’ It felt like he was copying Microsoft’s current ad campaign, and honestly, a lot of people online thought it was a really weird and not-so-great thing for him to say at this moment.
Was David Jaffe Mocking the Deceased?
The recent post on social media by David Jaffe has not been met with a positive sentiment:
This is an XBOX.

Recently, Jaffe gained attention after posting a YouTube video detailing the unexpected firing of Connie Booth, who had worked at Sony for 34 years.
Jaffe tried to explain himself on social media after receiving criticism for his post about the graveyard, but his reply only made things worse.
Look, everyone grieves, and it’s awful. My parents are also gone, and trust me, I know the pain. Even when my dad passed away – it was on Halloween, believe it or not – we found ways to laugh and cope. We allowed ourselves to feel sad, but we didn’t let it turn us into overly serious or unpleasant people.
People reacted negatively to the post, with many criticizing Jaffe’s comment and the fact that he made it when he did. While a few thought he might not have meant it the way it came across, most were critical of his timing and what he said.
One person commented, asking if the user was seeking attention. Another was much harsher, criticizing them for making insensitive jokes after previously joking about their own father’s death, and calling them offensive.
