The old command and conquer model no longer works

A transcription of some of the topics talked about by EA CEO John Riccitiello at the D.I.C.E summit:

Quote

He mentioned Bullfrog, OSI and Westwood as examples of creative failure: "We at EA blew it. To a degree I was involved in these things, so I can say I blew it."

Riccitiello said that the ideal of two guys in a garage creating a bust-out game, financing it on their VISA card, is not reality or even a possibility in the current market.

SHIT. I need to make a phone call.
