Sorry, there's just no way someone from EA top management could be clean. Don't shoot yourself in the foot CCP.
So, how will they get that level of experienced management?

Seriously CCP, this guy is 100% Microtransactions and F2P, he would not understand EVE and what is its core values in a million years, as far as he is concerned EVE is just another 'product' and we are just 'consumers'. I've delved into this guys bio and looked at his track record, and its 180 degrees from EVE's core values.
One would have thought that CCP had learned its lesson from Incarna and the Summer of Rage but it appears that they have not. If this pr1ck gets his mits on EVE he will ruin it, no question, the moment EVE's players see the dead hand of EA's 'business model' they will unsub in droves. Remember that promise that no game affecting modules for ARUM, how long before we see Gold Ammo? |

Just in case anyone has any doubts, this guy's world-view is all about microtransactions: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/11/29/interview-ea-sean-decker-play4free-games_n_2211813.html
From the article:
Sean Decker wrote:"I see the world as a micro-transaction," [Sean Decker] tells the Huffington Post in a phone interview.
"If I get on an airplane, I could pay for economy. But I can decide that I want a pillow, drinks or a better seat, and I'll pay for it. The whole world is set up like that." Ransoms are accepted in Isk, Ships, Mods, and Dolls. |

The facts are this: at 16:27 EVE time on July 1st, someone from EA took control of the executor corp for CCP Games, emptied the company games and wallet, and disbanded the Iceland office, causing 211 developers to drop jobs.

To hire someone of EA is bold decision. To give him power is crazy. Tell everyone that you have done it is stupid. Call him Smith and say he had nice looking eyes as you met him at Burger King. That is a much better qualification for VP than having EA in working history. Hey did you ever play EVE? You have no chance to join a high level corp if you have a bad corp history.
You worked for EA => your Char is burned!! |

This news is about as welcome as a kick in the sacks
EA are an extremely predatory company and have nothing good to teach CCP. Any obvious EA-influenced scumbaggery introduced to the game will be rejected by the playerbase I promise you |

Just speculating...
Recent complaints about the jump gate animation causing physical issues and CCP being lax? A small fee and it can be personally removed from one account.
Recent outcries about the scan animation playing upon entering each entrance into a system and many times the findings blocking belts, gates, and stations? A small fee and it can be personally removed from one account.
Exploration being an unique "job" and now a free-for-all for everyone with relative ease? A small fee and it can be personally created harder for one account.
While I have not had the personal experience of recent EA games, I have heard the horror stories and hope it will not harm Eve. |

I am sorry CCP but I can't agree with this decision.
The issue is the work culture at EA in my opinion is at it's core about making the most money as fast as possible despite the effect is has on gamers.
How can CCP even remotely benefit from this mindset? The WHOLE idea of EVE online is that sometimes development is not about getting more customers but keeping your existing ones happy and playing.
Is this about Dust? I highly doubt someone from EA is even remotely qualified to be in charge of making that game relevant. |

I was just really starting to get into EvE, and now this! It's gonna become a micro (and macro) transaction nightmare isn't it! I hate EA, and I cannot stand cash shops in sub games, and when you watch that youtube video of this guy the way he talks about the players is so detached and ... just awful it's all money money money.
Also he's being given so much power! taking over something that was being done by the CEO, that's crazy! |

It shouldn't be. I will be damned that I have invested years into this game to see an EA crony turn it into a theme park. And I have only played a couple years. Think of how the 7, 8, 9 year vets feel. This needs to be addressed. |

Unless there has been a major about face in his attitude we might be in trouble here.

In his youtube interview, the one linked in the OP, he says how people pay is up to the consumers. Hopefully that was not just bullshit spewed for public consumption. Because the consumers he needs to retain in this game will definitely leave and destroy the game and the company if he makes EVE f2p.
Maybe freed of the shackles of a title such as VP for P4F or F2P he will not be so wedded to promoting those payment modalities.
Hey I'm trying now to find a bright side. Of course doing so as I prepare to let fly forum and in-game wrath, and also eye my September (whether to) resub dates. |

People do have an interest in who CCP hire (in prominent positions) as that can effect how the game will develop.
Customers always have a say (albeit usually a very small one if individually) by simply just stopping the service. Customers are not able to tell CCP who to hire, but they can make their objections known. |
