EA are "cynical bastards" who are "methodically destroying" games

MCV Staff 3rd May 2012 Business News

Minecraft creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson has unleashed a vicious verbal assault on leading global publisher EA.

He was seemingly provoked by EA’s new Indie Bundle on Steam which includes indie titles EA has previously digitally published such as Shank and DeathSpank.

EA releases an ‘indie bundle’? That’s not how that works, EA,” he said.

Stop attempting to ruin everything, you bunch of cynical bastards.

I don’t even call Mojang indie any more. Vlambeer is indie. Polytron is indie. Stephen, Ed, Terry, Derek, Tommy and Chris are indie. Indies are saving gaming. EA is methodically destroying it.”
