In other news Skyrim wins overall at the Golden Joysticks....
So you were saying Mr 'I don't fucking know what I'm talking about.'
I like multiplayer, it's fun with my best mate but sometimes you just want some time to yourself..

He's dumb. Not much to it. I was gonna get mad, but I think he'll realize how dumb he was when he reads the backlash over this.
A certain willful ignorance is necessary for a CEO in a sense, you really have to believe your product is actually amazing even when it's not. Look at Steve Jobs, he thought all his "inventions" were magical and revolutionary.

Man this guy should go work for EA his stupid would fit right in.
Oh and I think it's far more likely that Social gaming is the gimmick.

I don't know. They have some pretty high requirements regarding stupidity. You have to be exceptionally stupid to work for EA. Especially if you want a job in the PR department.disgruntledgamer said:
Even though he takes it beyond the point of reasonability (I don't think that's a word but whatever), I sorta agree with where he's coming from. A good multiplayer game shits all over a good single player game every day of the week. Single player can still be good, and certainly has a place, but multiplayer wins out IMO.
this is what i was about to say.DustyDrB said:
who is the idiot? and why do i care what this clearly stupid person has to say
You know, this guy can fuck right off. Hope his company falls through with that opinion.
EDIT: Yeah it's a bit harsh, but w/e - guy's just misinformed

Despite his theories on the beginnings of single player gaming the fact is, people like both and some like one play style more than the other. I like both. For me multi player gaming is like a virtual competitive sport i.e Killzone, Battlefield, Midnight Club etc. I also like to retreat from my social life and immerse myself in games like Fallout 3 or Deus Ex: HR. Others such as Dark Souls, Borderlands and Ninja Gaiden 2 are great at giving you the option to play with others or by yourself which is very clever. The conclusion is, this guy is a corporate douchebag despite how cool he may be on a personal level and is clearly pushing some bullshit philosophy to increase moneys in multi player circle jerks.
Yeah, because people weren't playing tag or catch since the freaking Stone Age. Games existed before the Atari 2600, kids.JesterRaiin said:Multiplayer.
Right.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
The amount of vitriol in this thread is astounding. And, for the most part, what this dude said was true. Games where originally invented as a social experience. Single player games are really just you playing against the computer instead of another human player out of necessity.
My thoughts exactly.DustyDrB said:
Of course, this man is entitled to his own opinion. But after googling his company and viewing the crap which they churn out, I wouldn't say that he was anyone with any standing.
THIS JUST IN; Some guy on the street who was pooping in a fountain just told me that 'games should be played whilst eating cheese and maple syrup'.
Quite an interesting statement, considering we occasionally get gems like Skyrim just sweeping the awards. If it's a gimmick, it certainly works. Better than most of the limp, passionless multiplayer knock-offs that's trying to do what Call of Duty is doing, only worse. Förgrymmade öbo där!
