Efter et fravær på lige godt tre år, kommer tidligere Electronic Arts’ (EA) chef, John Riccitiello, nu tilbage til firmaet fra april måned. Riccitiello forlod ellers EA i slutningen af 2004 for bl.a. at være med til at danne Elevation Partners. Riccitiello kommer tilbage til firmaet som “chief executive officer” og derved som øverste ansvarlige chef endnu en gang. Nuværende chef – Larry Probst – bliver fremover bestyrelsesformand og udtaler sig i dag til Gamesindustry.biz i ganske begejstrede vendinger om udsigten til endnu en gang at være underlagt Riccitiello.


“We’re happy to welcome John back as EA’s new CEO,” Probst said. “His skill and vision as an executive and his experience in our industry have earned him the respect of our employees and shareholders.”



Riccitiello added, “Leading EA has always been my dream job and I am truly honored that Larry and the Board have given me this opportunity. This is an extremely well-run company driven by outstanding studio and publishing teams.
