Analyst: Canceling Tiberium hurt EA's credibility

Talking with Gamasutra about EA's recent decision to abandon development on Tiberium, Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey believes such a move could actually hurt EA's credibility in the long run.

"Continued lack of management execution and/or product quality, damages new management's credibility and dampens our excitement for the company's shares," said Hickey who also expects EA to lower their fiscal year performance expectations. But all analysts don't agree with that assessment, as Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter predicts that the Tiberium cancellation actually adds credibility to the company saying that "canceling a bad game goes a long way toward preserving the quality of the overall lineup."

What say you? Has your opinion of EA changed for the better or for the worse with their decision to axe Tiberium?
