Wouldn't it be even better if EA decided to be the better man... er, company and not answer that man-child at all?

Nice video; I was thinking of this myself:

Although I have to say, from everything I hear, Kotick is right about Brutal Legend not being a very good game.

WOW...

just how many people is he going to be able to get angry??

someone send marvin the martian over to him "I´m angry, very angry indeed"

no seriously, does he want to get the place of #1 most hated public figure in the world?? he is singlehandedly killing any hope for people actually liking him

and the jab at the 3 best titles of Activision, well, it was a well worded response from EA, Kotick feels so special yet has brought noting good to its company.

It's good to see someone try to put Kotick in his place. Unfortunately it's EA how did it.
Anyway, as much as I still hold a small grudge for some of EA's old DRM methods, they hit the nail on the head.
It was time someone grew some balls and told Kotick what a worthless and annoying creature he is. I mean the guy is such an ass that no mockary can get to him, so why not let some steam out, and tell the fucking truth: he did nothing for his company, just made it look like one of the most arrogant of them all.

Man, does this dude get on my nerves!

First EA brought us all my favorite battlefields (current renditions excluded), and now they bring me this literary sucker punch to Activision. I've never loved them more.

Is it me, or has the games industry just turned into a huge game of name-calling?
Don't get me wrong, it's hillarious, but seriously guys?

"His company is based on three game franchises - one is a fantastic persistent world he had nothing to do with; one is in steep decline; and the third is in the process of being destroyed by Kotick's own hubris." For those keeping track at home, that would be World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, and Call of Duty respectively.
Oh damn. I must applaud EA for this statement.

Sure, this fight is childish, but it's entertaining.

Well, this Kotick fellow seems like quite the ass, but for those with short memories, This statement is 100% true
John Funk said:
"Kotick accused EA of assimilating and rebranding all the studios it acquired rather than letting them keep their own internal cultures."
Or at least it was. I'm not entirely sure how EA operates these days, Trip Hawkins has been gone for a long time, and they have seemingly done some positive things. I doubt however that EA are quite the white knights that some people seem to think they are.

So we have the two biggest third party publishers and the two least respected publishers at that all having a slapfest over who is the worse company...

Shouldn't this be on the playground or the school basketball court?
