Quoteworthy - EA Hates Single-Player Games, Or Not

"We are very proud of the way EA evolved with consumers. I have not green lit one game to be developed as a single player experience. Today, all of our games include online applications and digital services that make them live 24/7/365." -- Frank Gibeau, President, EA Labels. Thanks supererogatory via Destructoid. Frank walks back from that in a follow-up on Kotaku, where explains that these aren't the droids we're looking for: "I still passionately believe in single-player games and think we should build them. What I was trying to suggest with my comments was that as we move our company from being a packaged goods, fire-and-forget business to a digital business that has a service component to it. That's business-speak for ‘I want to have a business that's alive and evolves and changes over time'."

I suspect they're passionate about anything that will save their asses at this point.

That's really the only thing that explains how messed up this bunch of quotes is. WTF...

I get the feeling they're just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, at this point...

Digital download only? Sure!
Multi? Kids love that!
FB games? You bet!
Single player? No. Yes! We meant "yes"! We can do that if you want!
