EA Boss Slams Medal of Honor Reviews
EA CEO John Riccitello says that the relatively low scores for the high profile release Medal of Honor came from "narrow demographic of reviewers".
He told investors...
"Core game reviewers play 80-90 hours a week on shooters, and so despite this, the title has out performed our expectations as an aside, we also track input to our customer service department, on the web and interestingly Medal of Honor has gotten more positive reviews and comments from costumers than any shooter we have shipped in the past."
"The low scores come from an excpetionally narrow demographic of reviewers which is offset by the amount of people buying the game. The game has exceeded our plans in both sell through and sell in, and has exceeded our expectations. So it is absolutley a clear success, and consumer feedback has been strong and its a franchise we can successfully continue in the future."
It's "number of people" actually John. PS your game is still a buggy, rough-looking, overly scripted mess.

"Core game reviewers play 80-90 hours a week on shooters."
Of course they do.
So if we said that they get six hours sleep each evening, that still leaves them with only, hmmmm, 36 hours to eat, wash, go out, go to the pub, watch TV, play other genre of games...me thinks 80-90% of what you've just said there Mr EA has come out of a hairy sunless crack. Sensitive, much?

It is clear nonsense.
The sort of thing you expect from Bobby Kotick.
