It’s been made official: Peter Moore is resigning from his position as corporate vice president of IEB at Microsoft, and will be joining EA as President of their sports division.

The decision was prompted as Peter wished to return to the Bay Area to be with his family. Moore will remain at Microsoft to assist in the transition through August and will then return to the San Francisco Bay area.

Former EA President, Don Mattrick, will take over as the senior vice president of IEB at Microsoft.
