Darth Riccitello does not tolerate failure

So EA are merging Mythic and Bioware (or just handing Mythic to Bioware to manage) and Mark Jacobs is out of the door. Truly we live in interesting times.

I’m sad to hear it, really. I always thought Mark was a great communicator whose vision helped to shape some of my favourite games in the genre. I’m guessing this is a result of Warhammer Online performing below expectations.

Warhammer of the Old Republic, anyone?

    I had a sinking feeling that this was going to happen. I noticed that Mark Jacobs has been more back seat lately, this must have been the reason. I wonder what he will do next? I wonder if this will bring big changes to the game.

    Not a huge surprise about Mark.

    Little surprised and very concerned. Hopefully it won’t affect SW:TOR’s development.

    I don’t see how it *can’t* affect SWTOR. This will be interesting.
