Do I? are you from the future from a time where I know that? Or are you some kind of old woman with a glass ball?
I do not know that he did not get fired for saying this. How about telling the real reason instead of telling me what I know and what I don't know?
And tbh being a EA employee makes you represent the company no matter if this is your actual job in the company or not and no matter if you do this in your free time/with private twitter account or not.
The guy damaged EA's image and it doesn't matter if EA actually cares about it or if 100% of EA shares the guys opinion or not. People inside a company have to know their place and saying something like this is completely dumb and out of place. And whats more important than that is the guy somewhat attacked Nintendo every developer working on WiiU games and every WiiU owner.
The guy made himself and his company look arrogant. Not even APPLE would say something like SAMSUNG phones are crap even tho both are enemies in the patent war. It's just something people with brain don't do because they know they represent more than their own opinion. And doing it on a public site like twitter is even less smart.
So the guy should be fired. Nintendo employees saying company XY made SHIT also should get fired etc.
If he would have said that in his opinion the WiiU hardware is not powerful enough to merit the hassle of developing games that would be okay but the way he replied was just fail...
