That was the best statement ever. Clearly Crytek board members told him to retract or lose your job. That is special.

Typical moron... pulled a Romney was then forced to retract it. I'm with Mysttic, Hojengaard let his mouth overload his ass & the stock holder paraded his out to renig on his original comments.

Not to mention, the best excuse he could make was "It was a joke"... Sorry, I'm not laughing & it seems a huge chunk of the listening audience weren't either.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people in the gaming industry can be so short-sighted. Their attempt to monetize every bit of IP will do nothing but alienate their customer base. I can't even count the number of times I played a used game, and then went on to purchase the newest version of it. All because I was impressed with the prior version. The way I was introduced to the franchise, definitely created a loyal customer.
