After calling Bobby Kottick a dick and a total prick yesterday, Brutal Legend guy Tim Schafer has now admitted he regrets the comments. 

“That was an accident,” Schafer told Eurogamer “I was going to change the title of my talk to ‘how to give interviews and remember to check the microphone is off.”

“I need to keep my mouth shut,” he said. “It is shocking how you really burn bridges in the industry. You start your own company and you don’t have to work for that jerky boss any more. Not naming names.”

“Then it’s like Empire Strikes Back – you walk in the room and, ‘Holy s*** Darth Vader’s at the table.’ It’s such a small industry, you see the same people over and over again. No-one ever goes away.”
