Topic: EA CEO resigns

ZOMG

Not entirely unexpected I guess.

First the Bioware guys, Epic, now EA.

I love how the executive response to all that's happening to gaming is basically "I don't need this shit! Fuck it. I'm done."

Well, there's a good chance it was a shareholder decision and not his own. CEOs are usually allowed to resign unless there's some scandal that they need to be held accountable for.

It seems kind of weird because it looks like they had been doing better the last few years, although their stock prices are still nowhere near where they were at the end of the last decade. .

They've probably lost a ton of money from SWTOR. It had something like a $200 million budget and merely did ok. Also things like Sim City, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 (mostly the ending), but those were more of a critical backlash. I don't know that those actually lost them money like SWTOR undoubtedly has.
