I wonder which will happen first. A day passing by without a single Infinity Ward employee leaving or me running out of these sinking Titanic pictures to use for these stories? Kotaku (via 1UP) has reported that 5 more employees have left Infinity Ward, and once again, some of them have had impressive sounding job titles.
PRESS RELEASE:
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been chosen by fans to be featured on the cover of Madden NFL 11, set to hit retail shelves on Tuesday, August 10. The Madden NFL 11 cover announcement is the result of a first-ever online consumer vote, powered by the Doritos “Change the Game” program, which empowered fans to select the highly-debated cover athlete. The partnership between EA SPORTS™ and the Doritos brand represents the first in a series of initiatives this year which allow fans to help shape the future of the franchise.
