Blizzard's Pardo Not A Fan Of Windows 8, Either
Earlier this week, Valve boss Gabe Newell spoke out about his displeasure for Windows 8, saying it could lead to a more closed platform for PC. Blizzard EVP Rob Pardo agrees.
On Twitter, Pardo said, "Nice interview with Gabe Newell - "I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space" - not awesome for Blizzard, either."
Newell said Windows 8, which launches in October, could affect a number of top-end PC manufacturers. "They’ll exit the market. I think margins are going to be destroyed for a bunch of people," he said.
