Don Mattrick may have resigned as head of Electronic Arts' Worldwide Studios back in 2005, but his heart never left the industry, and now he's back. In a phone call to Newsweek today, Peter Moore and Mattrick himself were on hand to announce his new position as a strategic advisor for Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division.
Apparently, Moore and Mattrick had been in talks ever since he left EA, exploring a number of opportunities for the two to work together, and this is the arrangement that they came up with.
Details on the position are slim right now, but apparently he'll be working on everything entertaining that the company makes, as well as the Zune (see what I did there?) I'm imagining that when Microsoft has a problem they can't solve the meeting room will be silent for a good long time, and then finally Moore will lift his head, a determined look in his eye, and say, "It's time to call in...Mattrick." Then a catchy theme song will play or something. Business is much more entertaining in my head.
