Liverpool Esports.

What an insane jump. Amazing opportunity for Moore. I would absolutely kill to be the CEO of Real Madrid.

 

[Rozart]

This is kinda surreal tbh. Best of luck to him!

Ice cold.

 

[pswii60]

Xbox will never again reach the height of those Peter Moore days. What a legend.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Holy...what the. That's actually super cool.

 

[moltonasty]

I'll never forgive him for how he decimated the Saturn in the US.

I guess he decided "EA is not my future"

 

[LeleSocho]

 

[Salty Rice]

Moore and Klopp. Liverpool gonna be unstoppable.

 

[Mett]

It will be a little weird to no longer see him at EA's E3 conference during the Sports section.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

I'll never forgive him for how he decimated the Saturn in the US.

He has made a ton of money of the video games industry and loves football. Why not hang up the controller and do what he is even more passionate for. Sucks for EA though, Peter is the man.

Holy shit, god damn. Laughed my way out of the office on this one.

What a move.

 

[Ashtar]

Kind of crazy dudes held high positions at huge places and just keeps on making millions, do we know his salary
I'm ambivalent about him because he helped kill off Saturn and dreamcast, but he did great things for ms
Wish him the best though

[Pennywise]

The Peter Moore love on Gaf always baffles me. Isnt this the guy that killed the Dreamcast?

That was SEGA Japan.

 

[PillarEN]

Muh CEO ;_;

As a fan. Not an employee

 

[dreamfall]

Good for him! I wonder what that GTA IV tattoo looks like these days. Happy that EA gave us EA UFC 1+2 in his tenure, along with the Access. Some good moves.

 

[Forkball]

He's playing the long game to make Dreamcast 2 a reality.

 

[odhiex]

This might be his dream job, congrats to Mr. Moore and the Liverpool FC.

 

[Kayo Police]

I hope he takes a selfie with the World's Best 3 Prong Attacking Force, Coutinho, Firmino and Mane!

 

[Kaneda Shotaro]

Is he going to be making more or less money?

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Wow, congrats to Peter this must be a dream come true for him.

Reebok, Sega, Xbox, EA and now Liverpool FC.

 

[Schlorgan]

I wonder who will take his place as COO.

Spoiler

It'll be Riccetielo again won't it?

 

[The Spoony Hou]

I have no love for EA, but hopefully without him they'll become a better company.

Good to see him go away from the games industry.

 

[Randomizer]

He's originally from Liverpool? With that accent?

If he is a fan, it must be a dream job. Also what is it with people moving back to their hometown when they get older?

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Love me some classic Slippy G. To think he was thinking of going back to play in England 😂.

After 38 seconds of coming in, for those not in the know.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

That's pretty damn cool.

 

[marc^o^]

Awesome

 

[Lyriell]

RL sports.. He's in the game...

 

[Kthulhu]

I'll never forgive him for how he decimated the Saturn in the US.

I guess he decided "EA is not my future"

At least he did his best to make the Dreamcast what it was.

 

[TheSeks]

We're still going to see him every E3, aren't we?

Unless they invite him for the FIFA portion, probably not.

I wish him the best, even if I didn't agree with all his decisions in the game industry over the years.

 

[Outrun]

Hopefully we can now beat the likes of Leicester.

 

[Mechazawa]

He was the only one that made the sports sections of EA's conferences even slightly bearable.

God speed you crazy old man.

 

[JaseMath]

Seems like an odd move, but good luck, Pete.

God speed you crazy old man.

Go Madden.

[JoeyJungle]

Literally laughed out loud at the headline. What a bizarre career, wish him the best.

 

[kubev]

Such a great guy. Isn't this more or less his dream job (since childhood)? Well-deserved. I love his enthusiasm for (and involvement with) Dreamcast, and I daresay that his involvement with EA made me kind of gradually not detest the company anymore. It's hard to dislike this guy.

 

[Floody]

Always forget he's a Scouser. Anyways probably an upgrade on Ian Ayre, so good luck Peter.

 

[NolbertoS]

congrats to Peter Moore I guess. Maybe Don Mattrick wants to come back to EA

 

[manzoman96]

Best of luck to him. Seemed like a good dude from that long IGN interview he did.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Makes sense. Liverpool are the Sega of football clubs.

Spoiler

And Klopp is the Dreamcast

 

[arcticice]

hmm Peter Moore was a good man. glad to see him taking a new role

 

[Theorry]

That must be his dream job. He is a big fan of Liverpool.

 

[Widge]

Mods, bannable offence here.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

After yesterday's beating by Leicester City...

 

[HeatBoost]

Curious to see how this will affect EA

probably for the worse?

 

[Hasney]

Damn. Was linked to his IGN interview not so long ago. basically worked his way up from selling shoes to the game industry's higher ups and now quite literally his dream job (other than somehow making it as a player). Good luck to him, he's clearly one hell of a grafter.

 

[wrowa]

Got to admit, what surprised me most isn't him changing industries, but that he's already 61 years old.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

I think Sony will be happy about this. Isn't he the one with ties with Microsoft.

EDIT: Yes, former MS man. Hopefully EA won't be so cosy to Xbox brand going forward

 

[rockman zx]

Good luck to him, looks like a dream job.
