After EA being the worst company of 2012 and management problems with their gaming (including the epic failures of Mass Effect 3 and SimCity), I am glad the person in charge of EA will be long gone.

 

Question is, who'll take over?

 

Edit: Looks like the moderators at the official C&C forums won't want anyone to talk about this leaving new threads mentioning about it automatically locked (and can even ban users there as well). WTH??

I doubt whoever replaces him will do a better job.

Kind of a shame really. Riccitello may not have been perfect but under his watch, we had Alice make a return and we saw Mirror's Edge and Brutal Legend get released. I mean, with someone else who doesn't understand the industry he's working in, would we really have had any risks taken? Bash EA and the guy all you want, but you're fools if you think this is will be a good thing.

I'm not entirely sure this is a good thing. Time will tell.
