The EA Executive is shown to be sleazy, corrupt and keen to make money. He also sexualises women, and enjoys the "glamour" that comes with working in a high corporate position. He is highly immoral and will sell his soul to receive money.
Biography[]
Background[]
Very little is known about the EA Executive. His name is bleeped out during a cutscene, so nothing can be inferred from that. What is known is that he is an executive at Electronic Arts, and at some point met Mayor Quimby. Prior to The Simpsons Game's events, the EA Executive produced Grand Theft Scratchy (a parody of Grand Theft Auto), but was banned from the senate for distributing the game to minors to boost sales.
The Simpsons Game[]
In the level Mob Rules, Marge starts a protest and leads it to the Town Hall to rally against the release of Grand Theft Scratchy on account of its gratuitous violence. Marge uses her newfound ability where she can use her infant, Maggie, to crawl through air vents. Whilst doing so, Maggie overhears the EA Executive and Mayor Quimby's plan: to sell the game to minors in Springfield. After celebrating with champagne in a hot tub, Maggie crawls through the vents and increases the temperature, forcing them to get out. Once outside, The EA Executive notices the commotion that Marge has started, and sees that a senator is supporting her.
Scared of losing his job and sales revenue, the Executive revokes his bribe offer, and rebukes Mayor Quimby for promising him that Springfield is not an area where one would protest. The Executive leaves in fury, taking two female Springfield models with him.
Trivia[]
- The EA Executive's name is never mentioned, and is in fact bleeped out.
