Electronic Arts chief executive officer John Riccitiello will resign from his position at the FIFA and Battlefield publisher after six years effective March 30, the company announced today. In addition, he will no longer be a member of the publisher's board of directors.
The EA board of directors has appointed longtime EA executive Larry Probst as executive chairman of the publisher while a search is conducted for Riccitiello's permanent replacement. Probst has been in a leadership position at EA since 1991 and was CEO from 1991 to 2007. The Board will consider internal and external candidates, the company said, with the help of a "leading executive search firm."

In related news EA is in The Consumerist's worst company bracket again this year.

They're probably going to win again, which would make them the first company to win successively.


I have no doubt about it, either. I can't even remember what they did last year but the recent bullshit they pulled with SimCity should seal it.
