I'm glad. He deserves it for having such a big mouth and very little to deliver. The fact that Probst was put back in the helm tmeporarily tells us it was a sudden decision, so SimCity must have played a big role.

He promised less sequels and more IP, and yet, they have ont only delivered terrible sequels, but had very little in the way of new IP.

Example of EA's BIG failures under his second round as CEO(most of them fairly recent):

-Dead Space 3 microtransactions
-Mass Effect 3.
-Star Wars: The Old Republic
-SimShitty
-Need for Speeds (all of them after Most Wanted in 2006)
-Origin
