< Leaving EA. >Eh, I think he's a bit overrated. I'm not saying he isn't great at what he does, but c'mon, he's the Jerry Seinfeld of video games. "What did you do today?" "I got up, had breakfast, and came into work." "There! There's a game right there!" He claims he's getting away from video games by working on things for his company "Stupid Fun Stuff", which makes movies, toys, and video games... I'd call him the next Richard Garriott, but it appears that EA has a stake in Stupid Fun Stuff, while Will still has a stake in EA. Speaking of Richard Garriott, here's a challenge for our forum members: Find a legit email address for Richard Garriott. Posted by GORDON on Apr. 14 2009,06:29
Wild ass guess:Lord_British@gmail.com. Seriously. Posted by Leisher on Apr. 14 2009,06:36
I want a confirmed email address. I think it'd be a cool experiment to send him an email and see what response, if any, we'd get back. Why him? We're going to pitch him an idea. Posted by Malcolm on Apr. 14 2009,08:44

I think he's the kind of guy, though, who would have snatched up the lordbritish account as soon as gmail opened up the beta.

He's got way more cash to be way more insane. The same dude that built a castle in Texas complete w\ a blue whale skeleton. I think. He was already drinking his own Tabula Rasa koolaid, too.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd bet a dollar that an email sent to that account would be seen by him... whether or not he answers.
