That’s not the exact quote, but it might as well have been. Mr. Headlines continues his campaign to piss off everyone in gaming. Bobby Kotick was speaking at the Deutsche Bank 2010 Technology Conference when he gave this statement: “They’re probably the last remaining high quality independent developer. That has sort of has institutional skills and capabilities. And they’re a real company.”
I don’t even know what to make of this. In three sentences he just offhandedly dismissed the hard work of all the other hard working devs out there who aren’t making money for his company. I mean, profit is one thing, but there’s no reason to be so cutthroat about it, nor is there reason to try to alienate your consumers.
So sorry, Valve, Double Fine, Insomniac, Ninja Theory, Grasshopper Manufacture, Introversion, Level-5, Q-Games, Sucker Punch, Twisted Pixel, 5th Cell, The Behemoth, Gearbox, Rebellion, Terminal Reality and thatgamecompany. You all pale in comparison to the greatness that is Bungie.
