Bungie’s shock announcement that it had signed up for a 10-year exclusive publishing deal with Activision sent shockwaves through the video game industry last week. While gamers contemplate a multi-platform Bungie future, EA doesn’t appear all that concerned – it’s got all FPS bases covered says EA Games label president Frank Gibeau.
“At some point in the portfolio plan you’ve got, when you look at Crytek, DICE, Epic, the LA team building MoH, and then Respawn, you know we got a pretty damn killer team,” Gibeau told IndustryGamers. “There’s not a lot of opening positions left on that roster and so that was definitely something that played into how we’ve looked at opportunities out there.”
He added: “I’ve gotten to know the Bungie guys over the years and they’re a terrific bunch of people, but we’re very pleased and confident with what we got and the franchises in our portfolio.”
