So this just came through on #tweetfleet ... didn't see a thread where people can freak out and scream yet, so I started one. This will be interesting to say the least given EA's history, I can't say I know much about the guy though, I had a look through his history and nothing epic fail from what I saw. Lieutenant Turelus

Looking through his gaming credits: http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,11359/
It would seem he wasn't involved in that terrible fiasco at the turn of the century where EA killed Origin Systems, Bullfrog, Westwood, many beloved gaming franchises and even tried to re-brand Maxis.
He can stay. Remember this. Trust your eyes, you will kill each other. Trust your veins, you can all go home. -Cold Wind |

I must admit I did panic a little when I saw EA tags.
How long before we can give him our welcome to EVE verbal bath and get him to dish the dirt on EA? Oh he must have stories! |

The best they could do was hire a guy from EA. EA is only good at one thing ... marketing. As far as games go they suck. Without Madden, NCAA, and The Sims EA would sink faster the Titanic. Not to mention this guy was VP of their P4F division. Makes you wonder if CCP is considering P4F again. I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen. |

Painful quote from the official PR
Quote: Decker comes to CCP from game developer and publisher Electronic Arts (EA), where he spent the last 12 years in a variety of key production leadership roles. Most recently Decker was vice president of EAGÇÖs GÇ£Play4FreeGÇ¥ group, built from the ground up as an integrated organization focused on building, publishing and operating games based on the free-to-play business model. In that role, Decker ran numerous studios around the world that released games played by tens of millions of registered users.
If this guy did not already learn that free-to-play retrofits on existing games kill games, he should be deep-sixed NOW.
Now if he's hired just to try to get Dust not to crater, whatever. It was F2P from day 1 and I have no issues with that there (not that I would ever play it, partly due to ******** F2P)
Edit: Same PR claims he will oversee all franchises
Quote: Decker will lead the companyGÇÖs worldwide game development, overseeing the companyGÇÖs studios in Reykjavik, Shanghai, Atlanta, and Newcastle.
If this muppet says "F2P" or "Microtransactions" and EVE in same sentence, the monument gets it. |

Looking at his history linked above, he has a ton of First Person Shooters on his watch.
So it does look like he should have been hired to Exec Produce Dust, and not EVE.
i would definitely say there are some concerns here with his ability to merge his former mentality and production philosophies with EVEs hardline attitudes.

Why Frank? That always reminds me of 'cousin Frank' as in the first Hellraiser. Or is that the point? |

I'll reserve actual judgement until we get more info on what the guy is doing. But in the meantime it's fun to jump on the hyperbole band wagon;
EVE is a game all about backstabbing, underhanded play, deviousness and generally trying your best to screw over every other player, right? At least that's what the low sec players tell me. So CCP hired a guy from a company that is well known for screwing over players. Seems like a perfect fit. |

Exactly my thoughts. To me (my opinion) anyone that would even be considered for a position like that in EA has a mentality and thought process that just will not be suitable for Eve and its community. My twitch stream to help new players:

The official PR spells it out
Quote: CCP Games, the worldGÇÖs leading independent developer of massively multiplayer games, today announced it has hired Sean Decker as its new senior vice president of product development. Decker will lead the companyGÇÖs worldwide game development, overseeing the companyGÇÖs studios in Reykjavik, Shanghai, Atlanta, and Newcastle.
Basically oversees all game development at CCP.
