Not everyone’s keen on getting in on the fray of the console wars, so it turns out. 2K Marin creative director Jordan Thomas claims he’s not a fan of this war and thinks that frankly, it’s all kinda silly.

 

“There’s a cognitive effect known as ‘confirmation bias’ which leads people to latch onto conclusions that would support their preferences and ignore data which doesn’t,” he explained.

 

“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.”

 

But if he had to choose what platform would he consider to be the best, he replies: “Coleco Adam. Everyone else is really, really dumb.”

 

2K Marin is the developer of the critically-acclaimed BioShock franchise.
