EA Calls for Open Platform/Single Console for Games

Posted by Zonk on from the all-about-the-bottom-line dept.

eldavojohn writes "EA's head of international publishing made some interesting comments on what he'd like to see in the future of gaming. 'We want an open, standard platform which is much easier than having five which are not compatible.' While the rest of his comments imply that he simply meant 'one' platform instead of removing development licenses, it is an interesting concept. This is obviously a move designed to cut their development time and costs. But could this have other implications - like easier homebrew development for consoles?"

    Dear EA,

    Make your own, and publish games exclusively for it. Let us know how well that works out for you.

    Thanks.
