EA exec jumps ship for Zynga

Hiring top people from EA is precisely the wrong way to increase game quality.

I have to say that I have great respect for Zynga. They have overcome their roots in "Scamville" and built a growing business that now looks like the Facebook to EA's Google.<p>Despite the fact that I don't play any of their games I find myself rooting for their success since I'm very tired of the EA sequel factory.

Many Zynga rank and file employees and executives have come from EA's main office at Redwood Shores, good deal for Zynga.

Flagged. Please keep gossip off HN.
