One can only hope, although I wouldn't hold my breath for that.

Good riddance.

I don't expect any massive change in EA business strategy despite this. We'll see. ..

From the statement it sounded like he is been praised doing the right things, which is discouraging. Then again, these statements are always in the positive tunes.

EA needs some change in the management. That company has been getting more and more worse. It's almost like they are treating gamers like criminals.

Their drm policies has been getting ridiculous.

What is this "huge" joke people were banned for ?

I hope this will prompt some change in EA, we all know they were going downhill very fast in the last few years. Just strings of bad decision, bad marketing and a history of infuriating their customers. Let's see how it goes.

I'm interested in how this actually went down. I always have a feeling that there is some back-story that isn't being told here. Sort of like when the Pope steps down. Same kind of deal, ya know?

@Papaz
Yeah, the DRM is pretty obnoxious. It's funny because I would have purchased the game had it not been for the DRM. The torrents all have DRM-free cracks, too. So, their DRM made specifically to prevent pirating only leads me to do so!

This is a long time coming. Honestly, I'm surprised it has taken so long as it is. SW:TOR was Riccitiello's pet project and that bombed big time... I expected him to step down back then.

Sooo... I guess this is kindda big news, huh :o

After all the recent bashing on EA, I hope they'll get a slightly better relationship with their consumers with a new CEO
