Interview: Activision studio head, Dave Stohl
Activision’s development ethic is one of stability, based on large franchises capable of longevity and market leadership. The shocking news of Infinity Ward’s meltdown earlier this year, then, can only have been intensely troubling for the publisher’s EVP of studios, Dave Stohl, but the “unfortunate thing,” as he describes it, appears to be in the past for the exec. Talking to VG247 at E3 earlier this month, he looked only to a future of rebuilding the studio and reattaining former glory.
There was some little Bungie deal to chat about as well. Frapper le lien.
