SimCity failure - a silver lining?

So, I didn't make mention earlier of the train-wreck that was EA's launch of SimCity, for two reasons:

• It was widely foreseen and predicted
• I don't give EA my business anyways, due to their past consumer-hating douchebaggery

Still, for any of you who aren't familiar, it's worth mentioning... they screwed up the launch of that title sufficiently that people were screaming for refunds (which they declined to provide, instead offering a free second game to compensate players for their troubles) .  My assumption was that, yes, the launch would be a disaster, eventually it might get fixed, but the only fallout would be possibly a few fewer EA game buyers in future.

Apparently, however, a line has been crossed.  EA's CEO is resigning.  The guy who's been helming the EA ship since 2007, which covers a large swath of their anti-consumer rule, is going away.  Now, from the details I'm gathering from that link, I'm not necessarily expecting a night-and-day change over there, since it appears that his predecessor is heading the search for a new CEO... but I don't see how they could change for the worse and still continue in business.  All things considered, I'm going to keep a closer eye on EA now... maybe, just maybe, they might come back from the edge and improve their consumer relations to the point where I can buy from them again.  Not holding my breath, mind you, but the possibility's there.
