Here's my questions. Why don't you work for EA anymore. Do you still work in the industy?

I never worked directly for EA, I worked for an independent dev that was published by EA. They were a really [censored] publisher to work for. The nice thing about them is they have the #1 shelf space allocation which can be a huge boost to game sales (the way game retail works, the big publishers make shelf space arrangements with the retailers, so EA is gauranteed the best/biggest displays). The bad thing is if they don't think your game will be huge they just totally submarine it, they don't really support the small devs. Also their test department & game testing and such were awful. I think their internal support is better but their external support blows.

I'm semi-retired at the moment.
