I thought it'd be cool to have a thread where we technology nuts could share news items of interest.
First up :
Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitello Resigns
Bearing in mind that I was contracted to EA for three years and still work for them now on a freelance basis, this came as a bit of a shock!
EA have taken a bashing over the last few years, what with some poor-selling games and the switch from boxed products to DLC and mobile gaming, so maybe ghe ship does need a new captain to steer it in another direction.
At the moment, I feel sorry for the guys and gals at Maxis: a lot of my old BrightLight crew were shipped over to the States to work on SimCity and it's a GOOD game, buggy in places, but good but the servers' capability wasn't tested to destruction, I reckon - which is a HUGE shame.
I love EA, I spent three very happy years there and met some wonderful people: I wish everyone there the very best.
