Take this as a rumor right now of course but there seems to be some truth to it. John Riccitiello has been worried as of late in fear of being fired and wondering why his stock has hit a low point. The rumor is that John will be asked to step down as CEO and be replaced by Peter Moore which will be a huge turn of events for EA and gamers in general. Reports state that the decision is not set yet and there still needs to be votes on such a decision. Here is what Gamefront had to say specifically on the whole ordeal.
The source stated that while Moore replacing Riccitiello was not set in stone, as the board has yet to vote on the matter, the source said there’s a “general feeling of tension throughout EA’s studios,” due to the company’s falling stock prices.
Riccitiello has been CEO of EA since 2007, after a a hiatus when he originally left the firm in April 2004 as well as his position as COO.
Since returning, Riccitiello has overseen the Origin platform and the recent decision to point the company in an all digital direction.
