Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is in the UK speaking at the Develop Conference in Brighton. As well as talking about cloud computing and the industry in general, he's also spilled the beans regarding a private conversation with EA CEO John Riccitiello.CVG states that Pachter told the audience at his keynote a pretty shocking fragment of that conversation:
John Riccitiello is apparently "worried about being fired and worried why his stock has hit such a low point".
Feeling rather jolly with himself, Pachter also pointed out that, "I told him, 'John, the reason why this is happening is because you are in the fifth year of a three-year turnaround'".
Let's all see if Mr Riccitiello's representative's see the fun in all of this.
