EA Irony

This is wonderful. EA's CEO says Video Games are Boring and too complicated" Here are some choice quotes:

"We’re boring people to death and making games that are harder and harder to play,”

“For the most part, the industry has been rinse-and-repeat,” he was quoted as saying. “There’s been lots of product that looked like last year’s product, that looked a lot like the year before.”

Brought to you by the CEO of EA, makers of The Sims, Madden, and every other game that does what the CEO of EA says game should not do.

The killer of creativity criticizing game designers for not being creative. I love it.

Isn't it great?

Games are too hard...and too boring...and they're all the same.

Quick, release a new Madden!

See I could understand it, if say Nintendo, Atlus, or even Square had said something along those lines....

I thought of Atlus when I thought of, "People who could have said this and not have sounded idiotic." Then I started to argue with myself over whether or not every RPG ever is basically the same game.

depends.. you get abstract enough and every game in the world is tic-tac-toe.

Especially Seaman

"The player's job is to feed and care for Seaman, while providing him with the company that he needs."

Seaman provides the gamer with the best friend he has always wanted.

Man... why hasn't Seaman 2 come out yet?
