This is old news and Mr. Riccitello is no longer CEO of EA. Makes me glad I don't go for online shooters though.

We're very lucky that EA is so clumsy and fails miserably when trying to be eviler than Activision.

Doesn't matter whether he's there or not. It's not about Riccitiello, as he's been singing a very different tune since leaving EA. He was just doing what any CEO will do when he has to answer to shareholders and works in an industry that has seen an unsustainable explosion of cost: look to maximize profits by any means necessary.

Ah thanks for enlightening me. I've not heard too much good news from this guy so good that he said it like it is.

Yep.
