Thunderbolt at Edinburgh Interactive: Peter Moore’s Speech

Fraser McMillan writes, "Peter Moore is a very well liked guy. There are many reasons for this, and it’s testament to his character that not even pulling the plug on SEGA’s Dreamcast nightmare could dull the gaming community’s continued admiration. It’s not often that they take to a boardroom suit in such a way, though to be fair this isn’t a description befitting of the man himself. His popularity owes in no small measure to his uncanny knack for talking the talk and walking it too; he’s the kind of guy that can turn a fiscal projection into something worth listening to. Moore knows games and – more importantly – the people who play them, and when his current position as President of EA Sports was revealed two years ago there was nobody more suited to the job than the former PE teacher and Microsoft Games Division Vice President."
