Former EA Founder, Trip Hawkins, Dishes on EA, GTA IV and Digital Chocolate

After the Bad Company DLC fiasco, Sarcastic Gamer went straight to one of EA's founders, Trip Hawkins and interviewed him regarding his opinion on the state of EA, GTA IV and the future of mobile gaming.

From the article: "There's a big industry debate about buying game items versus earning them through play. Personally, I think both approaches are reasonable because some people have more time to play and some people have more money and less time, and it provides more paths to enjoyment, ways for people to be successful, and makes for more interesting competition and play. I think it is pretty lame for a gamer to think he is entitled to clobber an opponent simply because he has more time to mine WOW gold, and resents the opponent for having a demanding job where he mines real gold that he uses to buy WOW gold."
