Former EA president John Riccitiello had returned to the company to take over as CEO and was keen to add more variety to the publisher’s library beyond its existing sports behemoths. Once upon a time, in the halcyon days of the mid 2000s, EA were still in the market for new intellectual properties to add to their roster, rather than just regurgitating only the same 4 games over again.įrom around 2006–07 EA had shifted around management positions and were looking to reinvigorate their market strategy by seeking out wholly original IPs.
