EA Mobile head weighs in potential of Apple's latest, already has people prototyping for Watch
Frank Gibeau and his team at EA Mobile spent their Tuesday like a lot of other tech enthusiasts: Grumbling about the quality of Apple's stream of the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch reveal.
The group gathered en masse in a conference room, as it does with every Apple reveal, to watch a broadcast that faded in and out (and occasionally came through in Chinese). But while the rest of us were gnashing our teeth in frustration, the mobile teams were already riffing on ideas about what they could do with the technology being introduced.
Zynga today announced that it has appointed Frank Gibeau as Chief Executive Officer effective March 7.
Don Mattrick is gonna be so mad. He looks furious enough already.

EA has filed notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission that as of yesterday, executive vice president of mobile games Frank Gibeau has departed the company. Gibeau was with EA for over 20 years, and served as the president of EA Labels before his transition to overseeing the lucrative mobile division.
Frank Gibeau, the head of EA’s mobile division, said the new mobile Dungeon Keeper game failed because it “innovated too much.” Frank Gibeau is either dumb or being told to say that.
Everytime a company does something to p*** us off they use the "They weren't ready" excuse
EA knew every step of the way in development, that they were building this "game" to rip people off and take all their money. I put game in quotations, because this isn't really a game. It's an app that siphons money from your wallets. This is why I never buy EA games unless they're used and cheap.
PS3/360 maybe, like the Tegra K1. But the PS4 ? Lmao.
Hahahahaha ok :/
lol what?!?!?!
first the iphone 6 (not plus) is 720p, already not on par.
i find that hard to believe?.. i know one thing for sure though and paraphrasing a youtuber, mobile games are basically throw away games.. theyre there for your 5 minuet bus ride and thats all. and know most games that aren't free to play dont last long on the app store, so good luck with winning over the people who like to come home and play on a wide screen tv or monitor of a game that uses buttons
Unfortunately the games on the mobile phone will run out of space before they can play big games that currently require up to the size limit of a Bluray. No one is going to pay Apple's GB prices just to install a hefty 40GB game on the smartphone :D
