PS3 Developer Fired For Comments

Posted by Zonk on Thursday February 2, 2006 @09:24AM from the unfortunate dept.

Next Generation reports on the unfortunate fallout from one PS3 developer's unflattering comments. Early in January, a developer made comments on his feelings regarding the Xbox 360 and its power/design ease vs. the PS3. Thanks to widespread internet reaction, he has been fired from his development position. From the article: "I can't believe how out of control everything got ... It's absolutely absurd how the Internet can take something relatively harmless and turn it into something so insane... Did I knowingly break NDA? I absolutely did not. I would never do that and I would never want to hurt Sony Online. Did I dance in the grey area by even opening my mouth? Yes I did and I was fired for it. So I guess the new rule for me is, don't ever say anything at all about anything. Ever...ever."

Though as it points out in the article, he took the post that got him fired down, and will never be putting it back up.

To avoid /.ing him harder (he has allready been dugg) I'm going to link to a google cache ...
