Tim Schafer has something to say to Activision...

From Kotaku...

Quote :

Tim Schafer, the creator of classics like Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Psychonauts, has some choice words to say about Activision boss Robert Kotick. Two of those words are "total" and "prick".

"His obligation is to his shareholders," Schafer tells Eurogamer. "Well, he doesn't have to be as much of a dick about it, does he? I think there is a way he can do it without being a total prick. It seems like it would be possible. It's not something he's interested in."

Schafer's beef is understandable, given his history with Kotick and Activision over the bungled publishing deal for his last game, Brutal Legend.

"He [Kotick] makes a big deal about not liking games, and I just don't think that attitude is good for games in general. I just don't think we're an industry of widgets," he adds.

"We can approach it like we approach bars of soap, where you're just trying to make the cheapest bar of soap. He definitely has that that kind of widget-maker attitude. I don't think he's great for the industry, overall. You can't just latch onto something when it's popular and then squeeze the life out of it and then move on to the next one. You have to at some point create something, build something."

"Hopefully he'll go back to another industry scene. He could go to an industry that makes more money. Ball bearings… something that suits his passions more. Weapons manufacturing?"

Tim Schafer, don't you ever change.

Same here. If history has shown us anything its that liberal agendas dont help the country, they ruin it. IE the great depression.

Yeah, add to that the poor economy and he keeps spending money on bad ideas and things we don't need and can't afford. I wish we elected someone who not only does things but actually does the right thing the right way.

Exactly! Congress aint helping much either...

Bush was better than Obama. The Obama administration is the only administration ever, in the history of the US, to ever blame the previous administration for their problems. Thats just sad. Bush was not nearly as bad as people and the media say. And the race of the president means nothing to me, people say race doesn't matter, but then why is it such a big deal that we have a black president?

Ok now that my little rant is done lol, back to the topic. haha

So very true about the racial bit, supposed anti-racists making a big deal out of a black president is pretty ironic.

Exactly, if race didnt matter they wouldnt bring it up.

Well,Bush managed to get the entire world to hate him so I doubt that happened for no apperent reason

Because of liberal media twisting words. They say he went to war for oil and stupid stuff like that, but he went to war to kill terrorists.

Its been debated.

Either way,Bush invaded a country.That is wrong.And before you say "it was for a good cause" then the US might aswell invade every poor country out there controlled by a corrupt dictator(and trust me there is MANY out there)

There is properganda on both sides.

Im a conservative myself but I know that bush was a horrible president.He was a war dictator.

Obama is letting it go on, what does that tell you? Besides, even if Bush wants to go to war he can't without congress. Also the US is already the worlds most hated nation anyway.

Yep, Bush and Obama are opposites. Bush does things beneficial to the US and the world hates him. Obama does things harmful to the US (like removing a certain nuke policy) and people like him better. Anyway you look at it Bush was better. The rest of the world thinks Obama is better, but only because he only cares about his public image. He just does things to get people to like him.

Anything you do to buff up your own military for protection or you invade a nation full of terrorist will make everyone like you less for some reason.
