Activision Addresses EA CEO “Rot from the core” Call of Duty comment

Activision’s Eric Hirshberg has addressed EA’s CEO, John Riccitiello, “rot from the core” comment.

Eic Hirshberg, speaking at Gamescom, responded to John Riccitielo’s “rot from the core” comment by stating

“We will not be spending time tearing down competitors; in fact, we’re pulling for them. I want as many games as possible to succeed, whether we created them or not. When someone does something great, it benefits us all. This isn’t politics. In order for one to win, the other does not have to lose. We shouldn’t be tearing each other apart; if we act like there are a finite number of gamers in the world, there will be. We will not be spending time tearing down competitors; in fact, we’re pulling for them.

A fair stance from Eric, thought one that EA should look into as guidance.
