EA's boss hates DRM
EA's John Riccitiello is never too shy to give a bold statement and saying that he hates DRM just as much as the next guy is bold, really bold. Especially seeing that EA is the company that's getting blasted for adding DRM in a little game called Spore.
Wisdom from the man, right after the break:
But wait, he's got more wisdom up his sleeve: EA will be killing off one or two games a year because they're not good enough according to EA's standards:
Wisdom from the man, right after the break:
I personally hate DRM,” EA CEO John Riccitiello tells Gamasutra.
“I don’t like the whole concept; it can be a little bit cumbersome. But I don’t like locks on my door, and I don’t like to use keys in my car… I’d like to live in a world where there are no passports. Unfortunately, we don’t – and I think the vast majority of people voted with their wallets and went out and bought Spore.”
Luckily, John, my keys don't PREVENT me from driving my car or entering my home...“I don’t like the whole concept; it can be a little bit cumbersome.

But wait, he's got more wisdom up his sleeve: EA will be killing off one or two games a year because they're not good enough according to EA's standards:
"EA will kill a game or two a year. Forever."
Adds Riccitiello, "Any company that serves every dish that comes out of the oven whether it’s burned or not is not committed to quality... U2 made great albums, Steven Spielberg made great films. It doesn’t mean they don’t have their Tiberiums."
So instead of investing in upgrading the quality, EA as of now will cut its losses and kill the damn thing. Well, it's a strategy... other companies would probably release such a game at a budget price so that at least some people could still have fun with it maybe. But let's not criticize too much.Adds Riccitiello, "Any company that serves every dish that comes out of the oven whether it’s burned or not is not committed to quality...

"I personally don't like DRM. It interrupts the user experience. We would like to get around that. But there is this problem called piracy out there."
Hate... Don't like... Not the same.
