I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Duh

Oh Nos, im a mst disponted bot!
Microsoft could have killed Sony with one stone yet they too pity maybe another day.
I just wrote on the rumor article, and I'll say again, it just would not make sense financially for EA to allow themselves to be bought out, but the top people can probably be bribed.
if micro has the chance to buy EA and they dont, they are just plain stup!d..
no madden on the ps3 will hurt sony bad...
