Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

CEO Andrew Wilson received almost half of that total.

Reverse groomer.
the worst part is that there are 1 too many idiots on this exact forum who buy into that shit, and want game prices to be raised in the hope of "killing MTX"
really it's probably just investors who want more profit on games

Its scum shit, but there is nothing we can do about it.
These fkers dont own the business. Their decision is why the business fails.

Writes a lot, says very little
They made more money, Executives made more money cause they executed plans that worked and made even more money by lay offs of 5%
So....that math is mathing lol
Before anyone jumps on the classic EA hate bandwagon, maybe some of you should consider some of ya'll um "media darlings" do the same shit, they just have a nice PR bullshit statement to make it sound like they are not like dem other guys lol

EA probably should have just released a series of fake PR statements and platitudes and shit lol
They should have said "Dead Space has no MTX or Multiplayer, we leave that to other scum publishers" (disregard what you do else where and make it sound like you've changed) lol
"Star Wars Fallen Order 2? No DLC or MP, leave that disgusting mess to the likes of UBiSOFT!" lol
If the whole say one thing and do another thing works for some shit publishers, maybe EA should start saying this fake ass shit, seems to be working for CDPR and others pretty fine tbh
The day they layed off 5%, they should have been like "Dragon Age will NOT HAVE MP, that is unbecoming of a single player game and EA as a company respects the wishes of their developers, shouldn't all companies?"

I worry that these execs aren't rich enough and so I hope more people will buy EA Sports FC this year and spend their hard earned money (or their parents hard earned money) on the virtual slot machine player packs. Then the execs can afford sending their kids to the best private schools and be able to purchase the latest model of the best cars.

Jesus. $25 million.
And how much are the developers getting for pouring their blood, sweat and tears into these products?

Disgusting really. The whole corporate management structure is so fucked up and way too often a perfect breeding ground for unbelievably greedy, emotionally as well as morally rotten people, who happend to disguise themselves as businessmen. Unfortunately, this is what decades of unhinged capitalism brought us.

Time for the employees to just, plain and simple, abduct the ceo and make a soup out of him. Eat the guy, drop the bones into a pigfarm, and pretend like nothing happened

Why are you so cruel?
You'd be forcing Andrew Wilson to buy the 140ft yacht rather than the 150ft yacht that he deserves.

Executive compensation of $60M/year could fund multiple AAA titles over a 4+ year horizon

It makes the golden years of gaming that much more special. When people were working hard to make a product, not just micromanage the development teams like a sweat shop.

Not saying it’s right…but, like every large company literally anywhere in the world right now?
Terrible practice, but this is big business wherever you look right now.

The funny thing is, you can’t really quantify the value of a CEO because nobody knows the alternative history outcome.
Sure, you can manage to get an “acceptable” ROI by doing very basic executive fuckery tactics. This isn’t rocket science.
In many cases the business could be so much better if they focused more on quality, less on DEI, and stuck to what truly matters. But that alternate reality doesn’t exist.
These executives all use the same groupthink playbook; why does this deserve outsized compensation?
Truly strategic and visionary gaming CEOs are rare and actually earn their keep. Nintendo does a great job of not overly emphasizing the contributions of a single person

EA is making 300-400M pure profit every quarter.
60M payout is nothing…

As a gamer, you gotta start asking yourself if people like Wilson even deserve it.
I really miss the time when gaming execs were engineers and creators who placed priority on the creativity and inventiveness of their games first. For the most part, EA ain't that company.

It's something compared to people potentially getting nothing after being laid off.

And yet, idiot gamers will keep buying EA games, and preordering, and defending massive corporations, and defending CEOs, and whining about the quality of games, even though they’re still buying the shit these cunts spew out.
In this very thread people are excusing, or defending, or saying it’s not that bad…

Need to get more children buying virtual sticker packs - that ain’t even enough for a super yacht. Sack a team - any team!
