Who Is Peter Moore’s Wife?

Moore left EA and was announced as the new CEO of the Liverpool Football Club on 27 February 2017. Moore took up his new role, which comprises running the business of the club, on 1 June 2017 and reports directly to the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group.

On 10 December 2015, Moore was appointed as the “Chief Competition Officer” of EA’s newly formed competitive gaming division.

We had a tremendous 18 months. Dreamcast was on fire – we really thought that we could do it. But then we had a target from Japan that said we had to make x hundreds of millions of dollars by the holiday season and shift x millions of units of hardware, otherwise we just couldn’t sustain the business. So on January 31st, 2001, we said Sega is leaving hardware. We were selling 50,000 units a day, then 60,000, then 100,000, but it was just not going to be enough to get the critical mass to take on the launch of PS2. Somehow I got to make that call, not the Japanese. I had to fire a lot of people; it was not a pleasant day.

In 2012, a history book titled Service Games: Rise and Fall of Sega covered Moore’s entire career at SEGA.

In an interview with the game press on 20 June 2012, Moore predicts the radical shift of the gaming industry’s business model towards free-to-play, he believed within 10 years the industry would have entirely shifted. Under his leadership, games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and then still under development, Command & Conquer: Generals 2, changed focus from a single player campaign game into a free-to-play multiplayer game with microtransactions.

Moore was parodied in an episode of South Park, Season 15’s Crack Baby Athletic Association, focusing on the NCAA’s relationship with Electronic Arts. On 4 August 2011, Moore was promoted from EA Sports President to the role of chief operating officer in a structure reshuffle.

On 17 July 2007, Electronic Arts announced that Peter Moore would be leaving Microsoft to head the sports division at Electronic Arts. Moore reportedly wanted to move back to the San Francisco Bay area to live with his family, which was possible with EA. His position as Vice-President of Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft was filled by Don Mattrick (who later also left Microsoft to join Zynga as CEO).

In January 20, 2003, Microsoft hired Moore to help the Xbox console to compete with Sony’s PlayStation 2 and Nintendo’s GameCube. At Microsoft, Moore gained notoriety for displaying tattoos of Halo 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV that he used when announcing the respective games (the former was used to announce Halo 2’s release been in a relationship with? of 9 November 2004, while the latter was used to announce Grand Theft Auto IV). Some sources claim that the Halo 2 tattoo was not permanent and others have reported that Moore still has it.

Peter Moore (born 1955) is a British-American business executive, best known for his former positions as Senior VP of Global Sports Marketing at Reebok, President of Sega of America, and Corporate Vice-President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division, overseeing the Xbox and Xbox 360 game consoles.
