EA group general Manager Samantha Ryan has left the company.
Ryan led the EA studios that were not making sports, racing or shooting games. These included BioWare (Mass Effect/Dragon Age), Maxis (The Sims), Full Circle (Skate), Cliffhanger Games (Black Panther) and Motive (Dead Space/Iron Man). EA told Venturebeat that Ryan has left the business to 'change things up'.
Ryan's previous responsibilities will now be split between two people. EA's Motive, Cliffhanger and BioWare studios will now report directly to Laura Miele, who is the president of EA Entertainment.
