Kotick/Schafer Episode 3: Return of the Jedi

Eurogamer has a follow-up on from Double Fine's Tim Schafer to the incendiary comments he made yesterday about Activision boss Bobby Kotick, which prompted a defense of Kotick's gamer cred. "That was an accident," Schafer said of the comments. "I was going to change the title of my talk to 'how to give interviews and remember to check the microphone is off'." He doesn't really back off the comments, but does express regrets over his candor. "I need to keep my mouth shut. It is shocking how you really burn bridges in the industry. You start your own company and you don't have to work for that jerky boss any more. Not naming names," he says. "Then it's like Empire Strikes Back - you walk in the room and, 'Holy s*** Darth Vader's at the table.' It's such a small industry, you see the same people over and over again. No-one ever goes away." On a game-related note, Joystiq has word that Double-Fine's next four projects will be "smaller games," some of which will be download-only, stemming from eight prototypes they previously created, which came in handy after the abrupt cancellation of a Brutal Legends prequel.
