Game Front has been told by an anonymous source close to the matter that there may be substance to Riccitiello’s worries.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Wow really I wouldn't think EA is doing bad. Peter Moore was the head of EA Sports Gaming division before he became COO. This is going to be interesting.
Let's remove peter moore, who does a good job, and put in the most pretentious douche of gaming in his place. Seems like a great idea >.> /s
if companies who had former high ranking employees that move onto other companies get preferential treatment.
Meaning that PM was once in big with MS and then went to EA but at the time was not in a position of power to influence decisions made regarding game development or exclusivity.
Now if he becomes the CEO he could be more influential in making exclusive deals with his former boss (MS) that could potentially change the release of games to come.
For the good of the company you wold think EA would remain neutral. however, this business is just as cutthroat as any other. It all depends on how well PM was treated while at MS to even entertain such a conspiracy theory.
this guy has helped EA since joining IMO
loved that he came at COD
Bad Company/2 and BF3 are awesome
I was not a big fan of Riccitiello and some of the changes that happened under his watch... Peter Moore has always been a good spokes person but his leadership track record is a bit spotty. I guess time will tell.
