he used to be pretty high up in EA. He also worked at a PE firm that especialized in media, although I think better of PE firms than most people. Point being is that I am not surprised at his revenue driven perspective.
He's the Larry Ellison of games.
Less a functioning human and more like a mid-sized neural net trained only on making game company short-term stock evaluations increase.
He's the game dev equivalent of Nick Bostrom's paperclip maximizer thought experiment.
As an aside, Universal Paperclips is the best clicker game I've played and has zero monetization.

He was president and COO from 1997 to 2004 and CEO from 2007-2013.
