Long ago, a young kid with a dream of breaking out of the movie business and into games named
Stevie Spielberg showed up in Silicon Valley with just his cockeyed optimism and
millions upon
millions of dollars. But when times got tough, he made the decision to sell his company, Dreamworks Interactive, to
EA, just as it was about to finish
Medal of Honor.
Stevie's all grown up now, and says that he now realizes his game company could have stayed afloat based solely on the success of
Medal of Honor. He told
Reuters the move was the "smartest and dumbest thing [he] ever did."
... Wait, wait. Dumber than
AI? Really?
