Wall Street Journal har intervjuat Larry Probst som är avgående VD för EA. Den fullständiga intervjun är endast tillgänglig för prenumeranter, men vi kan presentera hans tankar kring några av de ämnen som tas upp.
Om Will Wright och hans #Spore:
Will Wright's our Steven Spielberg. Will kind of gets to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and we pretty much think it's going to turn out well. His track record is Sim City and Sims, and we think he's on a terrific trajectory with Spore.
Om digital distribution:
When we look at our overall business in fiscal 2010, we're forecasting all of our online business plus our mobile-platform business to be something in the neighborhood of 20 to 25 percent of our total business, which would suggest that the rest is still transacted at retail.
Om EA:s MMO-miss:
World of Warcraft caught lightning in a bottle. I know they didn't know what they had. In hindsight, I wish that we had gone out and acquired that business when it was for sale.
