Peter Moore went to EA, Don Mattric (a former EA president) took his place, and now John Schappert, formerly an executive vice president at EA, has joined Microsoft.
Rather interesting. Some people aren't thrilled with this, but in the meantime, this should be interesting to watch.
Also, in other news, NCSoft seems to be doing well :)
Anyone who's read my blogs long enough knows that I love Guild Wars, City of Heroes and am really, really looking forward to Exteel. So the better they're doing, the happier I am. Directly affecting my gamer joy is the fact that City of Heroes/City of Villains has been growing since i9, which is awesome. Granted, just last week I got my first RMT offer in-game (which was promptly reported), but still, great all around. i10 has been a lot of fun, and as soon as they decide to do character transfers I'll be even happier, moving my level 44.5 character to the server I play on these days with my friends.
Maybe I'll finally hit 50 before the year's through ;)
