EA CEO John Riccitiello sat down with Industry Gamers and talked about E3, 3D Gaming and my pet peeve, the Online Pass. If you haven’t been paying attention the Online Pass means that if you buy a game used, you’ll have to pay $10 to access the game’s online features.
He did say one thing that caught my eye:
I’m a gamer on Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, I play a lot on PC, um…. I’m definitely going to play a fair amount on iPad, iPhones, and once I get my account set up on this Android phone, it’s going to be part of my portfolio. I play FIFA Superstars among other things on Facebook.
Now I’m unemployed, and I don’t have time to play that much gaming. I’m just wondering if he said that because when Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said he wasn’t a gamer anymore, gamers criticized him for that. Maybe he is, I donno, but I really don’t see him in a board room talking about how he worked out how to trap a big daddy and kill him. Somehow I more see him talking about how he loves the power glove.
