I don't really care about CEOs and their opinions. It's the people on the ground floor who really create the game. That's where the real talent lies that brought us this game.
Like a company of 13 would have more floors than one. In a country devoid of hierarchies. Not even 100+ Paradox really acts like it had one.

It was actually quite clear it was a joke, the whole live stream she was extremely funny. I took it as she was poking fun at what we have come to expect of EA CEO motivations. We gamers have come to think that all the big AAA games from the likes of EA and Ubisoft are no longer about keeping fans happy but making money. Given this game purposely sets out to destory that hold on gamers fun, I thought it was extremely funny when she was only in it for the money and in fact lately on she went on to joke about having to be careful about what she always says because there will always be those who take her seriously.

If only those from EA and Ubisoft were as forthright and down to earth to its player base,

She is in it for the money - its her job !!!! as the ceo its up to her to make money to pay all of her employees and herself. luckily for her she gets to make money by doing something she loves (unlike many of us who go to work and hate it)...

but clearly its a joke... she is just having a laugh..... probably cause there isnt a lot of money in it..... im sure it pays the bills and keeps them going but im sure she isnt on a 10 million dollar contract like many other CEO's....

I couldn't care less if what she said was a joke or not.

I'm not paying them because I like them. I'm paying them because I like their game.

I find it annoying that this PI/CO 'fanboyism' is even an issue.

If she was only in it for the money, they'd be trying to create the next Farmville. Instead they've built their pedigree making public transportation simulators.

You do the math.
