I dunno. He's been very candid with me about EA mess ups and stuff. And he is legit excited for the products he handles personally. Granted, it helpes that the big, huge launch he handled this year was a critical and commercial success for EA.
His first gig in the industry was having to dress up as Sonic and go around shouting "DREAMCAST! DREAMCAST! DREAMCAST!" So, I don't begrduge who he works for.
He's a cool guy, a great friend and he gives me free games.
