"The Developer Gobbler. The Consumer Crusher. The Franchise Obliterator.
If EA had a nickname in college, it would probably be a combination of all three. But in the past two months or so, Electronic Arts has made a couple public decisions that lean away from their evil side. Are they trying to change for the better, or will they turn back to Satan quicker than one can say "Take-Two Buyout"?
John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts, and owner of the world's coolest last name, is vowing for quality over timeliness. In a conference call this week, Riccitiello proclaimed EA would make more sacrifices towards ship time, aiming for a better finished product.
So what is causing this sudden change of heart for the EA monster? Is their poor image and quality of their final products finally catching up to them? Is there a rogue EA employee, holding the board of directors at gunpoint?"
