Forums - Gaming - Huge EA layoffs.

Otakumegane on 25 April 2013

 

In recent weeks, EA has aligned all elements of its organizational structure behind priorities in new technologies and mobile.  This has led to some difficult decisions to reduce the workforce in some locations.  We are extremely grateful for the contributions made by each of our employees – those that are leaving EA will be missed by their colleagues and friends.

These are hard but essential changes as we focus on delivering great games and showing players around the world why to spend their time with us.

I think I'm going to start a twitter account that posts everytime a game studio closes or lays off workers.

I'm going to be tweeting everyday.
