Wait...who do I believe!?
No, I was saying it's good it's temporary.
Wait...who do I believe!?
A. Gies EA CEO?
i <3 u 2DAMN YOU FESTWILL!
Which is good given Larry Probst ran 2004-2006 era EA.
So, any clue as to why he was fired?
You give Riccitiello too much credit. He's probably the single person most responsible for most of the shitty things that have happened to this industry in the last 6-7 years. That's including from a creative point of view too since everything EA releases is geared towards the casual/social gamer or the stereotypical dudebro we love to make fun of so much. Safe, homogeneous, mass market AAA shooters/racers/sports games.
So, any clue as to why he was fired?
Let me see:
-Henry Hatsworth
-Brutal Legend
-Mirror's Edge
-Boom Blox
-Boom Blox 2
-Skate
-NFS Shift
There was a good two year stretch where EA was doing some great stuff. Too bad shareholders revolted.
So, any clue as to why he was fired?
SWTOR put him on the chopping block.

Kotick is worse than Riccitiello in almost every way, so I'm sure Derrick doesn't like him, either.You can say the same of Kotick though. Activision, Ubisoft, and EA are all following the same model.
Dead Space 3 coming under expectations
Should be this guy:
Well, it can't mean less.
So, any clue as to why he was fired? I guess their stock price falling a lot in the past few years didn't help Riccitiello.
Believe Nirolak. EA was miles better in the Probst days.
Let me be CEO of EA I'll turn every studio into a Mass Effect studio then we'll see who is the best publisher in the industry you'll all see YOU'LL ALL SEE
SWTOR failing miserably, Dead Space 3 coming under expectations, rapid, recent degradation of company image and SimCity must have been the cherry on top.

Focused on game quality, thought that higher metacritic ratings would lead to higher profits.
I think a lot of us are going to like the new EA even less than the old one.
Good riddance,why did it take so long?

What did Probst do?
I don't know if I'd really call it a prediction. He said Riccitello told him himself that he thought he was going to get the axe due to their stock falling.
I thought Dead Space 3 sold well ?_?
NeoGaf demonstrating Pachter isn't always wrong.
SWTOR put him on the chopping block.
Another weak quarter, probably
Worst company in America, countless bad PR etc etc.

Kept franchises alive.
NeoGaf demonstrating Pachter isn't always wrong.
It's true. It's just Activision doesn't seem to make many games that GAFers care much about, so a lot of it goes under the radar.
