Bob, Now, if I could only get my wife to come to the same conclusion.
The writing has been on the wall for this one ever since 1993. The very first thing Hawkins should have done when he purchased New World Computing was to keep that name and drop 3DO. Wall Street never forgave the guy for his Hollywood style hype of the doomed 3DO player.
With his expertise of product branding, Hawkins achieved the exact opposite of what every Harvard bred MBA could hope for. 3DO became the unenviable 'best of the worst' in the video game industry.
He could have saved himself and investors a ton of money by simply calling it quits after EA.
