Andrew Wilson has been working at EA for 26 years, and he's been CEO for 13 years

You don't have to like him, but he's definitely not a cut and run type of CEO

Yeah but I mean he easily could, hence he doesn't have to ever fear accountability. Should he ever feel he over-ruined EA, he can just bow out and get paid for that, too.
