When it comes to games it's always EA, isn't it? Isn't this CEO the one also responsible for some of EA's notoriety?

EA and Activision/Blizzard doesn't have a great track record either. Megacorps are usually bad for everybody except ownership.

Yes, he is the brain behind the 2013 SimCity disaster.

It was a very dumbed down attempt to reboot the franchise, when what the fans wanted was what Cities Skylines would later deliver.

For me personally, C:S goes in too much on building a nice looking city and not enough on the simulation aspect.

Fair, but I think SC2013 was all of that and worse (as well as having glitches and being a massively multiplayer always-online affair).

SC2013 had the horrible "agent" simulation. While I personally wished for more of the sc4 kind of simulation.
