EA CEO, John Riccitiello, is an Ass
I don't hide the fact that I really, really hate EA and crap like this is the reason why. Stephen Totilo from MTV Multiplayer got an interview with Mr. Ass (he doesn't deserve to be properly addressed), and actually had the nerve to ask real questions instead of the fluff most videogame journalists ask. GASP! For that Mr. Ass face got pissy and started attacking Totilo and trying to demean him:
Totilo
MTV Multiplayer: “Boom Blox” is a lot of people’s favorite Wii game so far. But a lot of those same people have been looking at the sales figures, seeing that only 60,000 copies were sold in the first month, and I need to know what you were expecting in terms of performance for “Boom Blox.” Are you as worried or panicked as some of these fans are about what “Boom Blox”’s success — or lack thereof — means?Mr. Ass
First off, we had a week’s sales with no advertising. Last time I checked MTV wasn’t a financial network, but .. it met our expectations.Totilo
So everything you guys were doing in terms of making “Boom Blox” — making an original game for the Wii — is still something you guys feel will work? This is not a sign to EA that “Boom Blox” wasn’t the right direction?Mr. Ass
Given that you come from a music network...
Oh my God excuse me for trying to ask a serious question at a games conference, Mr. Ass. I swear I hate that guy and that smug, arrogant look he always has on his face. If I were Totilo I would have gone off on him and not allowed him to take those cheap shots at me. It's disgusting and The CEO of EA has no class.
Wow what a grade A douche.
