2D Boy ‘honored’ by Peter Moore’s World of Goo ignorance
Filed under: News
Eurogamer posted its “Top 50 Games of 2008” list last week, and was immediately scolded by EA boss Peter Moore for daring to exclude FIFA 09. This story was picked up by numerous sites, but one detail that wasn’t so heavily reported were Moore’s views on the game that came tenth, World of Goo. Moore said he was “surprised to see [World of Goo] up so high,” despite … not having played it.
For their part, 2D Boy (former employees of EA, no less) described the remark as a “compliment,” and said they were “honored that World of Goo has crept this far into mainstream awareness.” The pair have also confessed to deriving a “sick pleasure” from an “industry bigwig’s indignant, self-righteous incredulity,” though we suspect tongues were firmly placed in cheeks at this stage.
