EA announces new, social EA Player Network

EA used its Investor Day event to announced a new gamer-focused social program called the EA Player Network.

“The dynamic environment for games today is incredible,” EA’s Chriss Bruzzo said as part of the network’s announcement. “The number of across platforms, across games, across geographies, even in different business models, is exploding. But that also creates a challenge, and that challenge is how do we make sense of it? How do players make sense of it?”

Bruzzo said the network will take the concept of sharing screenshots and videos and expand upon it.

“We’re in an era now where social networks are not one size fit all. They’re really purpose built. We’re seeing purpose built networks come to the forefront. And that’s our intent here as well – to be that purpose built network for play,” he continued.

So that’s great and all, but just what does the EA Player Network actually do? If it offered up something akin to cross-platform play between its games, we’re in. Otherwise, are you excited about another social networking platform?
