Peter Moore Resigns from Microsoft

Tulkamir

Hmm, fairly big news for the gaming world - Peter Moore is resigning from Microsoft to move back to California, where he will be taking the role of the head of EA Sports division.

Don Mattrick will be taking his place at Microsoft.

Kind of ironic really.

Oh well, although Moore was doing great things at Microsoft, Mattrick has a perdy good track record, so I'd say that the 360 is in good hands.

It means that EA realizes how in trouble its sports is, and their doing something about it (or trying). Is this the right move? Probably not, we'll see what happens, but at least my brother will be encouraged that EA is at least trying to raise the bar on their "mainstream" sports franchises which have slipped the past few years (and are relatively dismal on the next-gen games).

I wonder if he knew this was going to happen when he made his apology for the 360 problems.

This is the sick part:

I heard most of that was going toward the fees they charge to move dead hookers from one basement to another, its outrageous.

Jesse Moody
