Hey, any comment on why you suddenly cared about their delinquency right before you were supposed to pay them royalties? I'd like to hear your thoughts on that, Mr. Schappert.

Right sentiment... wrong guy. Schappert is at EA, Bobby "The Beloved" Kotick is at Activision.

WTF are you talking about?

Schappert is EA's... it was ACTIVISION who did not payed some royalties...

Unless you're talking about their other EA studio back in MoH days...

You're all correct, my bad. I kinda thought this sounded funny, wondering why it wasn't Activision commenting on it. Which leads me to wonder why the heck he is commenting on it at all. He should steer clear of this can of worms.

While reading the second half of this article, I kinda imagined somebody behind him holding a huge sign that just said "EA! EA! EA! WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN."

I'm not sure how John Schappert could even talk with both their balls in his mouth.

EA has to be thinking about acquiring them.

I gotta say that Schappert is great when he talks.

He outright said that the leading competitive game is good and that takes a lot of cojones if you ask me.

Kudos to him

Well, it's not like trying to downplay MW2 as a minor nuisance from the competition would make any sense.

That being said, I do like that he's willing to give a friendly nod to a respectable piece of work from said competitors. Civility is classy.

Also, civility makes buyout negotiations easier.

Agreed.

I was going to say the same thing, but I can't say it better than you did.

Very surprised he didn't throw in a comment like, "Hey, we'll gladly bring them in and give them a new studio!"
