Well, might not be Swtor related, but it also might be. Not the best of signs, but maybe just a change for other reasons. |

Gah @ US corporate titles like "Chief Accounting Officer" You'd almost expect that to come with a uniform. |

Promotion, CFO & COO
Eric Brown, who has been EA's CFO since 2008, will become Polycom's CFO and chief operating officer starting on February 21. EA has been shifting its video game business from games on physical discs to digital platforms in recent years. It acquired PopCap games in a deal worth up to $1.3 billion last summer. A source close to the matter said that Brown was not pushed out and that he left for Polycom because he wanted a more operational role.

And? He got a job somewhere else. Why make something as normal as that into an anti-swtor troll thread?

Stock has taken a beating since the "good" news about TOR. Ofc - a lot of pieces to consider, but overall you don't want the company that runs your MMO to be struggling. |

Sounds like he's simply moving on to me. Besides, if it was something product wise that investors were unhappy about it is normally the CEO that is asked to fall on his sword not the CFO. CFOs usually get taken to task on bad investment or financial decisions such as mismanaging cash flow, mishandling loans, or inept forecasts. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Originally posted by Kenze someone making that much money a year who isn't ME is obscene. There fixed.
I admit i could be wrong, but I'd be willing to bet things would look quite different seen from the other side of the glass.
As to a corp suit leaving, so what. Either he got a bigger better deal, was forced out quietly due to some type of disgrace, or deicded to retire and sleep on a giant bed made of money. None of that is going to change anything as one of the business school clones will step up to take his place.
I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that read "I'm with Stupid" . . . he was alone. Dark Pony for Pope. |

Is rather telling given the graphics "bug" SWTOR has.
Just my 2 cents..........
