Harvey Smith, lead designer for Blacksite: Area 51, admitted to Wired’s Paul Artz that “this project was fucked up” and that, “we deserved [the bad reviews]“.

Poor guy.

After reading Artz’s piece, I kind of felt sorry for Smith.

But, then again, who polishes a game in four days?!

Smith points out that there is actually a satirical undercurrent in the game and he’s confused as to why the reviews didn’t catch the anti-war sentiment.

Maybe the developers should have been more concerned with producing a quality game than making a political statement.

However, it is nice to see Smith taking some responsibility for the sucktitude.
