I'd like to hit him for all of you.
( February 23rd, 2009 )
During the question and answer session following his DICE summit address earlier this week, EA CEO John Riccitiello informed those in attendance that he believes the recession to be a "blessing", that the economic downturn will force "the riffraff" out of business.
Source: 1Up.Com [ more info ] If you squint really hard and cross your eyes just so... you might halfway see his point. I just can't shake how insensitive it is. It's not just "riffraff" cutting jobs and closing their doors. EA themselves have cut over 1000 employees and closed/consolidated 9 locations. I guess they don't count. Alright, so maybe I'm being too protective to embrace Riccitiello's point. But I don't care how much "fat" needs to be cut from the industry. Right now just isn't a good time to say the recession is a blessing on any level. [ discuss ] - replies ( 28 ) last post by: DashCat9 [ top ]
