In June 2007, Gibeau was named the inaugural president of EA Games, and as such is responsible for approximately $1 billion in revenue from the studios that make game franchises like
Need for Speed,
Medal of Honor,
Burnout,
Battlefield,
Warhammer, and others, including
Spore.
On Thursday, as EA was hosting the game press as its annual summer
Studio Showcase event, I sat down with Gibeau to talk about, among other things,
Spore going gold, as well as his management style, the biggest challenges facing his label, and the skills the next person to take his job would need to have.
