Robert ‘Bobby’ Kotick, the man who turned Activision into the games company of the devil, has been kicking off at anyone who’ll listen about EA and Tim Schafer.  Of EA (the second most anti-gamer company after Actingthecuntivision) he says “Great people don’t want to work there.  It’s like, if you have no other option, you might consider them.”

Harsh but he’s mainly pissed of that Infinity Ward, the company that used to make Call of Duty games (the good ones) for him, have formed a new company called Respawn Entertainment who will now be making generic as fuck FPS tedium for EA instead of him and his posse of evil marketing men.

Of Schafer, the man behind the Monkey Island games and Activision’s own Brutal Legend, he says “it turns out, he was late, he missed every milestone, the game was not a particularly good game”.  Which is of course entirely accurate (Brutal Legend was shit after all).  Still, he’s clearly not out to make any friends.
