EA cuts more jobs

@Warlord_Irochi @lilnazar He never said he 'gave a crap' about the jobs people will lose. Don't put words in his mouth.

As for the people that will lose their jobs, they will most likely be able to get other jobs at better company's. As much as we hate EA, a reccomendation from them on your resume' is a big plus.

@Warlord_Irochi @lilnazar It's not our fault the workers remain jobless. We just hate the company for what it does. Rest is not our problem. Most of them cand find jobs at other companies.

@smurfa1 @gplayer5

I hear Nintendo is looking for developers

@smurfa1 That's why I said I feel bad for the people that lost their job. I never would rejoice at someone losing their job but a company like EA has to go. Smaller developers can take the IP's from EA and profit off those. Same thing happened when THQ went out of business. Actually, if that happened maybe, just maybe, some of the IP's can be saved. That's a long shot though...

@smurfa1 developers don't need major publishers these days.

Look at Chris Roberts with Star Citizen... dude hasn't made a game in ages and all of a sudden he's put his own money, and generated enough investment from the private sector and crowd funding based on his name and reputation alone.

An entire team of developers could easily do something smaller while still being very profitable (remember, no EA leaches to pay).

Of course, they have to be the kind of developers that can make something good on their own to justify that type of risk... and coming from EA, without franchise awareness and AAA advertising behind them, the quality of their work will really be the only reason they're successful.... and that should scare a lot of them, because a lot of those types of AAA developers really should NOT be making games. Look at the clowns making MoH these days... put them out at sea on their own today and they'd sink.

There's nothing to feel sorry for here.

It's a poorly run industry that continues to be run poorly. Sadly whatever happens around these layoffs... nothing will change from it

@smurfa1 maybe but all this means we will no longer have triple a titles which personally think is going to shit right now. i think a new gaming developer is needed that actually thinks and knows about making games rather than pure profit

@Deadly_Nemesis

that's why things like recessions happen, the herd live in fear of big decisions so they go along to get along.

I've done it, and I've had friends do it. No security in a choice, total risk. We all ended up with better paying jobs, better conditions AND more job security (not that that anyone should ever truly rely on that sort of thing) because we had the balls to make the right decision at the right time. And the folks we left behind are still scratching their heads how we did it, and still worried about their crappy jobs with the crappy pay that they're afraid to move on from. Same industry too mind you.

There are a million opportunities in the workplace regardless of the myth of a recession... people just have to be honest with themselves. If you're motivated by money... deal with the fact that you've become a slave to the $$$.

@Deadly_Nemesis @eriktkire Wrong! The people can,they can.

@pezzott1 @XboxGuy1537 It's not the employees who deserve it, but this is a sign that EA is starting to crack. That's what he's getting at.

@blackace Yes, thanks to Back in Action you're probably and sadly right.

Nonetheless, they don't take the money if it doesn't make their goal.

I recommend that all fans who can KS it to please do so.

@acelogan1989 Yes indeed Back in Action was utter shit!

Looks like this will not be so and they cite just why in their premise! They even said "No dumbing down" and "don't mess with a good thing" in regards to the core mechanic!

Don't take my word for it. Check them out.

And remember that if it doesn't make the money to be made they don't charge you.

These guys look like a solid group of devs versus the usual sketchy Russian crap we've gotten before (no insult intended Pareni, no situatsia bila takaya!)
