EA's big boss not happy with review scores

Posted on Friday, 22 February 2008 by Speed, source: Reuters
At EA's investor day, the company's CEO, John Riccitiello, presented a chart that showed EA's declining average review score at Metacritic and stated that he's not happy with this.

"There is nothing acceptable about that," Riccitiello says. "Our core game titles are accurately measured and summarized by these assessments, and that is a very big deal."

"So this is perhaps, to me, the most important chart in this presentation, we need to recover here."
Sounds great, doesn't it? EA's head honcho truly sounds like he wants to make better games! On the other hand, however, he's got something else to say as well:

EA's Riccitiello wants to avoid the trap of just pursuing a good Metacritic score, a mindset he said frequently leads to too much executive meddling.

"The process often gets in the way more than it helps," he said. "That sort of circus has unfortunately sort of defined our company for too long. And it's not a good process."

"You don't cash Metacritic, you cash checks."
So, what IS John saying? Does he want EA to make great games that get good average reviewscores, or does he not?

He said: "I want us to make money and who cares about game quality as long as it seels". Sounds like a perfect EA boss to me.
