Cliff Bleszinski Doesn't Really Hate French Kids
The designer of Gears of War at Epic Games has learned a thing or deuce about how to talk to the press without being misquoted.
It's a nightmare for whatever public build when your actor's line are twined or reported out of context, especially when you thought you were just joking or fashioning light of something. Cliff Bleszinski from Epic Games has had his fair share of misquotes making headlines in the videogame press, including his criticism of Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain. In 2010, Bleszinski said that he loved the game, although he found the children "horrific," and VG247 used his bawdy remark as a headline. He has since learned to use optical maser-like precision with his words, and ofttimes uses the continuous updates of Twitter to combat some misrepresentation, but he doesn't think that he'll stop speaking his mind or telling the casual joke.
"I now hold the great power of Twitter to interrupt them and stop something before it goes viral. I've had times when I sound out more or say less. It's just a matter of existence surgical with your row , and making sure that if you say something it can't be quoted out of context. You have to be a trifle piece careful about joking," Bleszinski said.
He specifically brought up the situation with Heavy Rain to prove his point, extolling how much he respects the bet on once again. "I have done cypher but gush about Heavy Rain, but when I make one side joke about the fact I thought the kids were a young creepy, suddenly it becomes 'Bleszinski declares war on France.'"
Like most designers these days, Bleszinski uses mixer networking to hold open tabs along industry. "The beauty of Twitter is that if an article like that pops up, one of my followers will alert me to that in transactions and I impediment it all and I can squash the story before it suddenly turn the trueness. What happens is one website picks up on that, the other website picks sprouted on it, and it says 'Hey, I heard you hate French children.' And then you can kill information technology and nip it in the bud immediately."
The large amount of followers that Bleszinski has on Chitter likewise allows him to direct the masses to this situation or that, which can overwhelm the website's servers and even add them down. "When you get a certain amount of money of followers, by the way, you can send all your following to a website and essentially issue a denial of divine service attack at your will," he said.
With great top executive, comes great responsibility and Bleszinski made sure to add that he does non condone DDoS attacks of any kind.
OR does he?!?!!! This reporter isn't soh sure. Hey, I've got a important idea for a headline. "Power-Hungry Clifflike B Directs Mob at Enemies" Yeah, that's the ticket!
