Part of the plan to continue the turnaround is a renewed focus on the PC.Facebook games certainly are a part of this, but the looming release of Star Wars: The Old Republic is an even bigger leap of faith.
"The user base is gigantic," he says. "PC retail may be a big problem, but PC downloads are awesome. … The margins are much better and we don’t have any rules in terms of first party approvals. From our perspective, it's an extremely healthy platform. … It's totally conceivable it will become our biggest platform."
Gibeau says EA is also increasingly dabbling in the freemium business model on the PC, given how successful it has been in China.
"If you look at the way people play in Asia, PC is the model," he says. "I think that free to play model is coming to the west in a big way."
There you go. Console gaming soon to be declared dead. Welcome to the era of PC gaming. Welcome to the era of facebook!
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."

and when the nextnext gen of shitty consoles arrive they'll just ditch the pc gaming master race again and blame the piracy and not their retarted games. they just want to take our moniez away again somehow. good scheme EA, good scheme ... but we shall prevail i dont know...
