Spore Developer Chris Hecker Apologizes For Calling the Wii a "Piece of Shit"
Remember Maxis developer Chris Hecker calling the Wii a "piece of shit"? He has an apology for you.
I dont know who has read the internet, yesterday. In a [unintelligible] panel I said a bunch of things. I was trying to be thought provoking and entertaining and fun and a lot of the stuff went too far over the top—on the entertaining and fun side, so that it was no longer thought provoking, just inflammatory. And in the process I hurt a bunch of people I care about. And so, I want to apologize now.
When Im on stage, Im me. Im talking talk from me. From me. Im not representing EA or Maxis.
I want to make two things perfectly clear.
I do not think the Wii is a piece of shit. Nintendo needs to be applauded for trying to interface on the controller front, the user interface front, on making games accessible, on making a console that you dont need to mortgage your house to afford.
Secondly, its totally obvious—and Im sorry that I implied otherwise—that everyone at Nintendo is passionate at making great games. Some of the games give me hope that we will be seen as an art form on par with movies and books.
:D
大意就是，那天我说的不是我要表达的意思。
