He is going to some think tank. I can imagine his ideas will be better received where he is going. I think he is more interested in Second Life and life simulation games. I don't know the guy, (so it's all conjecture). If I were him and saw how EA pimped out The Sims and made it less simulation as it is about buying furniture and T.V.s and the detractors from the Life Simulation portion; I would leave too. The sims was a really great game in the beginning the it just turned into something truly common. Why make a game about life and focus on all that crap that is boring about it? They have to make money, that's how they intend to do it I guess.
Nevermind this post. Wrote it and thought WTF was that? 3am
