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.

Anyone remember that video? Where the guy was talking about how the forums on BF erupted but the majority of the player base stuck around and paid to play. Which of course led to the famous Hilmar quote of: "watch what they do not what they say"
Hope that isn't him.
Wait... that happened? (maybe I should have followed the news more during that time instead of unsubbing)

I wasn't worried it was Decker who had said it more just shocked it was an EA person that Hilmar had quoted (if that is where he took it) I left shortly after Hilmar's mail was leaked due to burnout and just a feeling CCP no longer cared for their player base or the game they created. Jon Lander pretty much made me come back after I saw his blogs, interviews and fanfest information.
(as well as crucible being such a great showing of CCP turning around)

Could get interesting :)
I should start selling boots with built in guns pointed towards the wearer.
Lets see how Fearless he is :)
Shortly after I made this thread I tweeted it to him saying he was already causing a stir. I did wish him GL with the job as well, reading this thread it seems he has a lot to prove in that he's not of the EA mindset.

A RL friend and I had this stupid and drunk discussion back in 2006-2007 about how hardcore WoW was. I thought; how can a game even be a challenge when you have bloody ADDONS(!) telling you what to do? Needless to say, he disagreed and had all kinds of amusing arguments.
I said bollocks and made him a simple bet: complete the tutorial in EVE and if he complete the tutorial, I'd pay his one year WoW subscription.
But after a half hour, he gave up because his biggest complaint was that there was no quest helpers, no map coordinates, nothing because who bothers reading?
A perfect representation of modern games and gamers. People want all the satisfaction from a game with none of the work and games developers are more than willing to give them that as it makes them easy money.
Skyrim is a great example of this as well, a fantastic game but when did you ever need to stop and think about a decision or wonder where exactly you needed to go? Follow Marker Receive Loot.
