In the past, I said some mean, horrible things about EA CEO John Riccitiello – mostly due to the fact he supported and used SecuROM for many of EA’s games. Luckily that time is behind us and hopefully will never be considered again. After that mess, I haven’t really hated him due to…well he’s pretty much been on the quiet side of things. Other than the fact that they are focusing on DLC as the next big thing (which I can’t really fault him for that – all game developers are going this route), he seems to be doing okay. I guess if I had to gripe on him, it’d have to be his last name. I can’t spell or pronounce it worth a damn. Dang you, John Ric-cit-ie-llo)
Anyways, it appears that analysts are stating that working with EA is a pleasure and that game developers are more inclined to go to EA rather than, say Activision. Can’t blame them…Bobby Kotick is the latest person to hate in the game industry. Luckily I don’t run an Activision fansite so no complaining from me!
