Don't really know the guy, but EA s***s so I guess he does too as he's it's leader. I won't shed a tear.

Realistically, he's probably fired because of a streak of bad decisions. SimCity was just the final straw. Then you had the Mass Effect 3 ending debacle, some nice bad press there. The biggest mistake however was The Old Republic, spending like $200million on the game and then nobody played it.

Agreed, 5 Stars out of 10. 

So this is the price he has to pay for entering into an unprecedented partnership with Nintendo.

It's all a cover up, he has really gone MIA.

Last sighting of Riccitiello before he went missing.

YAY!

interesting to see if things change for them now

I hope this means they restructure the company with a new CEO.

Nope. They are trying a new model where there is no CEO, everyone just does what they want.

Too many bad decisions, and the Sim City affair has surely being the icing on the cake.

Bye, bye.

The ending? The entire game was a mess. They shat on every desison you made thoughout the franchise and throughout that game 

Save the rachni queen in ME1? no? - lol cloned anyway

Build a amazing team in ME2? lol lets make them all useless in the next game

Cerberus? lol suddenly enough man power to challenge the entire galaxy

Find out what happened with the protheans and get one to join the team? lol cut it and make it dlc

Mass market appeal isn't going anywhere. Look at Skyrim, 15+ million copies sold and tons of GOTY awards. Although Skryim is a much better game than ME3 it still took mass appeal to the max and stripped the game of much needed depth. Lately all you need to do is toss in a XP bar or some kind of skill tree on a turd and you got yourself a GOTY RPG. Anyway going further offtopic.
