Chris Hecker Is Sorry: Wii No Longer Shit
In one of the quickest change of opinions ever in the history of the world, Chris Hecker – that guy who had his 15 minutes of fame yesterday – has decided it would be in his best interest to retract his comments about the Wii being comparable to human faeces by releasing the follow statement:
“I don’t know who has read the internet, yesterday. In a [unintelligible] panel I said a bunch of things. I was trying to be thought provoking and entertaining and fun and a lot of the stuff went too far over the top—on the entertaining and fun side, so that it was no longer thought provoking, just inflammatory. And in the process I hurt a bunch of people I care about. And so, I want to apologize now.
When I’m on stage, I’m me. I’m talking talk from me. From me. I’m not representing EA or Maxis.
I want to make two things perfectly clear.
I do not think the Wii is a piece of shit. Nintendo needs to be applauded for trying to interface on the controller front, the user interface front, on making games accessible, on making a console that you don’t need to mortgage your house to afford.
Secondly, it’s totally obvious—and I’m sorry that I implied otherwise—that everyone at Nintendo is passionate at making great games. Some of the games give me hope that we will be seen as an art form on par with movies and books.”
…that sounded so genuine!

I think it's pretty obvious who put him up to this...Sony and their Nazi allies.

I respected him for saying what on his mind, and now I don't because obviously someone has bribed him or blackmailed him to take it back and hes been a coward and said it.

I would not say he is a coward... a job at Maxis is a very good one and he most likely does not want to lose it! Yesterday's decision to state "Wii is Shit" was much stupider than the one to retract the remark.
