About

The Chairman of Microsoft and a ruthless businessman, Gates' life nearly ended when General Plymkin shot him due to Windows 98's failure to live up to military expectations. He survived, however, making an appearance with Steve Jobs to consider investing in Herbert Garrisons IT device. When the Console Wars came to hit South Park on Black Friday, he offered to help Eric Cartman and the Xbox One supporters, competing fiercely with the Sony President, until a final beatdown inside Red Robin helped Gates emerge victorious - but the gruesome battle proved upsetting, inspiring the kids to find other ways to play - without video games.
