All I can say is yay!!!! Now maybe EA can shake their heads and come back. Title: Re: EA CEO John Riccitiello resigns Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on March 18, 2013, 10:02:33 PM ...you DO realize who's in charge in the interim, right? I wouldn't say "yay".
Title: Re: EA CEO John Riccitiello resigns Post by: blcklblskt on March 18, 2013, 10:28:20 PM I doubt ANYTHING will change regarding EA's current stance on microtransactions and such. A CEO change won't do much for EA.

I know who's in charge in the period between the end of March and whenever the next CEO is named. Hint: Riccitiello's predecessor!

EA also had a transition period where corporate restructuring was taking place.

Somehow, it'll become a yearly release.

Somehow, it'll become a yearly release. Can they really pose a significant threat to the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games franchise, though? 'Course, that's for you to figure out, Mr. Interim CEO Guy... ;) |
