Well, now I' ll never see him with a Shenmue III tattoo :(

Hmm well I really liked Peter Moore and being affected by his work for almost 10 years I have to say that I am a bit sad about his leave. I considered Peter Moore to be one of the most charismatic people in the video game business, and unlike other people working in such positions as his, he wasn' t even half as much a spin doctor. He also seemed to be a really likeable guy judging by his interviews.

I just hope that new dude taking his seat won' t be some idiot.

From what I read at Kotaku, hes getting paid like $3.5 million dollars(providing that he stays with them for 2 years) pluss 50,000 in stock shares which right now equal $4.5 million, and they' re giving him the option to buy more.

...also the guy whos getting Moores job sort of reminds me of the guy who was in the 40 Year old virgin

Leaving there too now? He seems to like moving around. From Sega to Microsoft and now to EA.

" He was previously considered a possible candidate for the CEO position at EA."

Don Mattrick is a big shot,hey?!

aum k...

I guess we all thought MS was fucked up after Ed Fries left and kikizo interviewed him and you could hear his opinions,but what did we get?
Peter Moore and J.allrd :) so lets give this douchebag a chance too.

From that Wikipedia article :


Moore played a pivotal acting role in the company’s decision to change its business strategy to become a platform-agnostic software publisher.

Nooooo! Curse you! ;)

Anyway, things like these always make me think. Doesn' t it feel a bit...weird/dishonest to stand there a few days before and talk about " we at microsoft" and 360 this and that. To then resign a bit later.

By pushing Sega in that direction I think he saved the company.

I suggest reading this article over at Eidolonn' s Inn: http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-index.php?page=SegaBase+Dreamcast

It explains detail what important things Moore did for Sega during the Dreamcast times, especially in the US market.

Yeah I know. He did well businesswise and got a lot of trust from Sega Japan. They practically gave him all the funds they had to try and save the Dreamcast in the USA.
But as a fan it wasn' t as interesting to see this change in course I meant.

Edit : Evilkiller managed to link to an interesting article while I wrote this. I read it before and it is long but very good for those who want to know more details about the Dreamcast.
