Someone from EA replied responded:

"Kotick’s relationship with studio talent is well-documented in litigation. His company is based on three game franchises – one is a fantastic persistent world he had nothing to do with; one is in steep decline; and the third is in the process of being destroyed by Kotick’s own hubris."

Jeff Brown, EA corporate communications VP

i think Jeff Brown is being a bit too nice.

whats the one with fantastic persistant world ? , what games that ISNT on decline by them? and what ISNT being destroyed by Koticks own hubris?

World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero and Call of Duty I think

Yeah. that was my impression, although I think he was probably refering to Starcraft also with the first.

 

Additionally, saying that Guitar Hero is in steep decline seems a bit like saying the Roman Empire is in steep decline
