Welcome to NSR Watch

Finally a home for me and others to rant and rave about the two biggest pieces of shit in video game history none other then: ea sports ceo (Larry Probt), and ea game producer (James 'KY' Hawkins).
Look forward to many interesting articles as we document the past and future of these dickheads as they screw over the public with there so called "flawless sim to date"
Welcome and enjoy the ride (or roast).

EA Sports FIRES heir to the throne and other Loyal Corperate Executives

VE3D reports: Electronic Arts today announced the departure of president of Worldwide Studios Don Mattrick, who is a 23-year veteran of the company was in line to follow Larry Probst as EA's next CEO.
Paul Lee, who most recently served as Executive Vice President and Studio Chief Operating Officer at EA, will replace Mattrick as president of Worldwide Studios.
Executive Vice President Bruce McMillan is also leaving EA, the company reported today.
"These promotions and changes also mark the end of an era for EA, with the departures of Studio President Don Mattrick and Executive Vice President Bruce McMillan from our executive team," said Larry Probst. "Both Don and Bruce have made enormous contributions to our company, our industry and to people all over the world who love games. We look forward to working with them again in the future."

hmm..may I suggest this has something to do with EA's sales being down 12%...or perhaps the chairmen has seen the writing on the wall and is taking the "can't beat em fire em" approach. It appears maybe spending all those millions on exclusive deals are starting to catch up with Mr.Probst? Gee big surprise...eliminate the competiton...= no quality standards = pissed off users = less profit. I think a high schooler could tell ya that?...great work Larry...were rooting for that big end of year come back NOT!!

Ah yes......this is the beginning of the classic path to doom.....executive firings (usually the puppets of the master decision maker)....aka Probst.

Too much success, too quickly, mismanaged growth, falling stock price and profits. EA is in trouble and these announcements are merely to please "Wall St." that they are reacting.

What a fucking monopolistic joke. Customers? Who needs em?

You can bet that there excuse for an upcoming MISERABLE holiday season will be blamed on President Bush's stalled economy and not the result of shit products like Nascar SHAM Racing!

I smell lots of Christmas coal for EA very soon.
