About time. Peter Moore to take over?

He needs more tattoos

 

[Rad-]

Peter Moore to replace?

Strange. If Moore was to take over, surely they would have announced it at the same time? He is internal after all. Maybe they are really looking for an outsider.

 

[Derrick01]

Is this good for gamers or bad ?

His existence as the head of the largest publisher has been the biggest poison to this industry for years now.

However not much will change at EA with him stepping down.

 

[Demon Ice]

Welp. That one poster that was defending EA in every SimCity thread ever needs a new tag.

Coachman = Riccitiello

 

[Salsa]

not gonna fix anything, lets be real

 

[FinKL]

This is the guy that was leading EA in the direction it was going right?

Cue Final Bosman mind explosion .gif

 

[JABEE]

HALLELUJAH

It's kind of sad, because Riticello invested in IPs like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge that would never have been greenlit in EAs of the past.

 

[Dark Schala]

Didn't see it coming but...

He's probably the least of EA's problems.

Yeah.

Wonder what his replacement's gonna be like.

 

[Hrothgar]

He started off so promising and for a time "evil levels" did drop (allowing Activision/Kotick to take over the "evil" top position), but it has been getting exponentially worse again in the past few years.

 

[Gintoki]

I have a feeling the new guy will be worse

 

[ymmv]

Is this good for gamers or bad ?

It couldn't be worse. He had a promising start but under his rule EA quickly turned to shit.

 

[polyh3dron]

FFFFFFF

 

[DecoyOctopus]

Activision for ultimate evil!

lol

 

[SolarPowered]

That came out of nowhere.

 

[Wynnebeck]

About time. The SimCity fiasco wasn't doing him any favors.

 

[Kandinsky]

Poor Nintendo, this guy was incredibly committed to them and now he steps down. Iwata must be shitting his pants right about now D:

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Don't celebrate until we learn who the replacement is. There are worse people out there, believe me.

 

[BlackGoku03]

Will this change anything?


Psst... the answer is no.

 

[Guevara]

going to retire to play sim-entrepreneur.

 

[keit4]

Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease...

 

[funkystudent]

Finally.

Dude did a great job hanging onto his job and thats about it.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

So will his replacement (Peter Moore?) be even worse?

 

[ciridesu]

No surprise. Their PR has sucked majorly recently, and they need to change their public image.

 

[Berto]

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Normally I'd say the devil you know, but I don't see how EA could get worse.

 

[Barry Burton]

This has been a long time coming.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Not to be a downer, but I doubt it's going to change much.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[V_Ben]

Whoa. This should be interesting.

 

[MetatronM]

This SimCity thing keeps on giving!

 

[Ath]

Very intriguing, I'm very interested to see what's going to happen next with EA. A change in direction? Doubt it, but I can still dream.

 

[Flightmare]

 

[michaelius]

good riddance

 

[Volotaire]

Not surprising with recent events. Peter Moore take the place?

 

[BRocknRolla]

Blood for the Blood God.

Skulls for the Skull Throne.

 

[LiK]

It's kind of sad, because Riticello invested in IPs like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge that would never have been greenlit in EAs of the past.

He turned to the Dark side.

 

[Poohblaster]

J Allard new CEO of EA. You heard it here first. Or Shane Kim, that would actually be even better.

 

[LumpOfCole]

The achievement is supposed to unlock the disaster, not the other way around.

 

[RedNumberFive]

So will his replacement (Peter Moore?) be even worse?

Mr. "Things Break" would be a perfect fit.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Surprised he stayed this long. Swotor was a once in a lifetime failure.

 

[MormaPope]

 

[SteveWinwood]

The nightmare is over.

jk

 

[Hot Coldman]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TO TUSSLE

LET'S GO OUT IN A BLAZE

 

[GAMERG0D]

It's the best day ever.

 

[EatChildren]

Which colour ending is this?

 

[Call Me Maybe]

The fuck?

 

[FACE]

His replacement will probably be an even bigger cunt.

 

[TouchMyBox]

So how many more weeks does Riccitiello have?

Apparently the answer was two.

 

[Solbringer]

 

[Pie and Beans]

Phwoar. Thats... quite the timed step down.
