Hopes franchise will “rot from the core”.
Activision botched the announcement of its Call of Duty: Elite community portal, so says EA boss John Riccitiello.
Talking in an interview with IndustryGamers, Riccitiello suggested that its competitor would have copped less flak from gamers over Elite’s premium paid-for features had it been announced after Modern Warfare 3 had hit the shops.
“I don’t know what’s in Elite right now, but based on what I’ve seen, I think they might’ve been better off holding the Elite thing and been a little more careful and show up a month after they’ve launched Modern Warfare 3,” he explained.
