EA's named a replacement for outgoing Chief Financial Officer Warren Jenson and the winner is: Eric Brown of McAfee Inc. GameDaily reports Brown is no stranger to the ways of EA, having served as Chief Operating Officer of EA's Redwood Shores Studio.
EA CEO John Riccitiello says Brown's broad international experience and industry knowledge make him a perfect fit for the company. Surprisingly there was no gloating about needing a CFO on board who can easily handle a major acquisition. Brown officially begins the job April 14, three days after EA's hostile takeover deadline against Take-Two.

This still isn't going to change my opinion of EA.

I have to admit, Eric Brown did good work while he was at McAfee. He's the CFO though, so not really as much of a change agent as a CEO would be.

Any change in executives in any of the big publishers really doesn't change anything, EA is still EA and I don't think that will change anytime soon.

I've enjoyed many of the games that EA has published.

Its really sad how much people hate EA. They make some great products(which i would guess 90% own at least one item by them) yet everyone here trashes them.

We don't like EA because we pay money for their products only to be treaded like shit. EA abuses dlc on xbox live, and fills their games with real ads to pull in even more money. We just want to pay for the game once and play it, without having to pay an extra $15 for more weapons or having their gaming experience littered with ads.
