I have an awsome and fresh new idea for an online game for EA. you said above that the last few games have not been so good. I bet ya this new idea i have could win so many awards, and it would draw in millions of kids from around the world. I am so confident in this new idea i have would work. The best part about it is you have already done some of the work already! You guys over at EA spawned my idea. From reading about your ceo crises, it sounds like you guys need a fresh new video game on the shelves for people to buy. i would love to talk more about this with somebody there and even get involved in it. talk to ya soon!

I am a big fan of The Sims, but am always annoyed that EA is so stingy when it came to providing content – in terms of couches, wallpaper, appliances for Sims. Then 2 months later, they would come out with an expansion pack full of “stuff”. Examples of this are the Family Fun Stuff, Glamor Stuff….

This man was not a visionary, he created the same game over and over again while pumping up the graphics. One good move that I can think of was acquiring Mythic while they are working on Warhammer Online. A working or at least fun and playable MMOG was beyond this company with this man at the lead, several tries and several failures means a loss to this company of millions. His time past a while back.

Larry did an incredible job at EA. Personally, I think a CEO shouldn’t stay much beyond 10 years anyway. To continually provide the vision, direction, enthusiasm, etc for 16 years is a testimony to this man’s excellence. He made a *lot* of good moves during his tenure including the sequels which, though not glamorous, are incredibly important to a game company.
