I haven't been keeping on top of this. I normally would agree with you but wasn't this a ranting an event at GDC that allowed to devs to sound off with opinions? I would imagine that this was not intended to represent a company in the first place but company put a pr blanket over this.
Exactly. I abhor the way he presented his personal opinions, however, that is one part of th GDC's purpose and he was in a discussion panel, not EA's or Maxis's booths. This is obviously a pr move pushed on him by EA/Maxis maybe even Will Wright himself. Either way it makes him look like an ass.
