"After an incredible 20-year career, I've accomplished all that I could have imagined and more. I’m very proud of all the great games that I had a chance to work on. I thank EA for the opportunity and wish them the very best. I am excited to explore my next challenge.”Following Gibeau's departure, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said the mobile division will report to him while the publisher figures out longterm plans.
