EA CEO: ‘We dropped the ball’

Electronic Arts has acknowledged it struggled to cope with the console transition to this generation, admitting that publisher made mistakes the past years. However, The company reckons its back in business and believes it’s now in a better position than it has been for some time.

"Through this last transition to the PS3 era... for a whole bunch of reasons that aren't worth getting into in a short answer, I think it's fair to say we dropped the ball," CEO John Riccitiello said at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference.

This is why EA intentionally leaked Crysis 2


Almost the whole web now knows that the PC version of Crysis 2 has been leaked and is now available almost wide-open for download on torrent servers.

Electronic Arts decided to throw out random accusations for the PC community, and once again they pulled the piracy excuse on that specific platform, seeking true fan’s support.

The reason why I think EA deliberately leaked the Crysis 2 PC beta is; if you search Crysis 2 on Google, first results will be EA’s website, second query is the “Crysis 2 leaked” blog title on the publisher's webpage. Well here is the biggest puzzling question.
