EA - John Riccitiello Steps Down as CEO

John Riccitiello, CEO EA, to step down on March 30th 2013, according to The Penny Arcade Report.   And here's the reason why:

"My decision to leave EA is really all about my accountability for the shortcomings in our financial results this year," he wrote. “It currently looks like we will come in at the low end of, or slightly below, the financial guidance we issued to the Street, and we have fallen short of the internal operating plan we set one year ago. And for that, I am 100 percent accountable.”

What do you think this means for EA's partners, and by partners I mean Bioware?
