That's what it sounded like to me. People paid for that game and it had a gazillion problems out of the gate. Even worse, sounds like they'd been through all of the server and Origin junk before when TSTO (which is now seen as a plus for EA) was launched. Big, embarrassing problem following a crappy history as CEO...not surprising that he's gone.

ETA: I'm guessing this is all discussed to death in that linked thread, and by people who follow these things more closely than I.
