Attributes publisher’s early success to Sega.
The original founder of enormo-publisher EA has denounced Nintendo for ushering in a “feudal dark age” for the games industry and stifling third parties’ chance of success.
Speaking at the GamesBeat conference in San Francisco today, Trip Hawkins, who now runs social gaming outfit Digital Chocolate, criticised Nintendo’s closed approach for limiting creativity.
“Look at the world wide web and how many great companies have been built on that open platform,” he said, as reported by Gamasutra.
