Not sure what this entails as a whole.

Twice? I always thought he had one long tenure at EA

Seems like a good time for a rock paper shotgun interview.
No he left in the early 2000s to run Evolution which got picked up by EA, and then they made him CEO again.

Telltale games on Frosbite 3 engine. Hahaha!
Writers and overall structure/set up from Telltale, "gameplay", technology and productionvalues from Quantic Dream. That would be amazing imo.
this is pretty high in idle thumbs related tangents: therefore, I present to you, the ballad of john riccitiello

That actually would be really interesting. They've had loads of success in the last few years, but they also have loads of issues which they should also be grilled on.

And then shut down like Pandemic, another company he sold to EA.
Interviewer; "Mr. Ricittiello, you used to work at EA. Tell me, what does it feel like to be utter human trash?"
The shuttering of Pandemic I'm not pleased about, but he doesn't seem like an awful guy.

Wait what? He joined Pandemic then sold it to EA?

He left EA, joined a venture capital firm that bought Bioware and Pandemic, rejoined EA as CEO, then proceeded to sell both studios to himself and line his pockets with EA's money.
Watch it happen again!

I hate to be cynica,l but I think the main they're getting so much attention right now is due to; the low budget of their games, the fact they can release on every platform under the sun, and the speed they can pump them out.
A new engine could ruin all of those.
Haha, you may be right, not that familiar with Unity really.

maybe he will instill a 'pay for choice' game model in all the new Telltale games!

Well shit, I guess with the way Telttale have been pumping out their games without giving much of a shit about QA they may fit with one another.
I do wonder if this will actually change anything though, I mean I can see why the conclusion that DLC is incoming but would Telltale really stoop so low when you consider how thye make their games, I have no clue how they can add DLC to it without it being utter bullshit.
More expensive episodes maybe? No changes at all? who knows lol
