BioShock 2 creative director over at 2K Marin, Jordan Thomas, has hit out at console fanboys. In a recent interview Thomas tells it like it is.
Speaking to Destructoid, JT explains that, "There’s a cognitive effect known as 'confirmation bias' which leads people to latch onto conclusions that support their preferences and ignore data which doesn’t.
"This leads to wild, unreasoning loyalty to a chosen platform, sports team, or brand of soda."
Thankfully this doesn't effect the making of games, apparently, "From a development perspective, the console wars are a bit silly; our target is consistency, and it’s always kind of sad to see people throwing their energy into 'platform partisanship', because it seems to flood the critical channels and drown out other creative discourse."
Full thing over here.
