EA cuts more jobs

#DealWithIt

will this affect battlefield 4 please no sarcastic answers

Sure glad I don't work in game development. There are plenty of development opportunities with much better job security (and pay).

Good luck to all the devs affected by these layoffs.

As for EA, I take what they say with a pinch of salt.

I think this is a good move on their part.

Seems like the new guy is allocating his resources and taking in what he's got.

EA Should just shut down...the industry would be better off if they did...

BURN EA BUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laying off are everywhere.. ??!!

I love how EA just can't admit there a mess, they keep saying how this is to prepare for new tech and next gen, when everyone knows is just that they know there the worst of the worst and are taking it out on the employees, I bet you take everyone laid off over the past months and use them to make a game and i'll be better than any of the crap EA has put out recently.

Maybe I'm the only one thinking this but I really feel bad for the developers that got fired. The problem with EA isn't the development teams, it is the upper management; they always interfere with a game because they don't think it will be profitable but all they really do is make the game worse; Sim City being a prime example. In a sense I'm glad that at the very least the developers are getting screwed just like the gamers that buy EA products. I for one learned my lesson with Sim City, maybe i learned it late but better late than never. BF4? BF what? Don't need another rehash or anything made by EA. They have dragged all my favorite childhood games now down into the mud; but that wasn't enough! They had to ruin the memories i had of the originals.

Eternal rest grant onto them; may they rest in peace. May their souls and all the faithful departed rest in peace.

They need to pay for Retardello's severance package somehow right.

Terrible news, sorry to hear all this EA news, like it or not they release a lot of high quality games and any time that gets slowed down it's bad for the industry. Hope once next gen gets going they start to grow again. Hope the affected quickly find work and give unemployment the middle finger.

"So who's left?"
"Well it's just me and you sir..."
"Your fired!"

^.^

Hope those affected land on their feet ok.

EA..you have no one to blame but yourself and the shortsightedness of both your executives and investors.

I hope they all have better luck at their new jobs.

EA needs to cut its own throat

im waiting for the pathetic sheep who follow corporate cr*p and blame this on pirates / used game markets.

when in fact the main thing that hurts sales, consumers, devs, even cats and dogs , is the greed and stupidity of CEO's / boards / stake holders, but hey we are all stupid enough to allow big corporations to put margins, profits/ figures ahead of human lives, its is a business after all, isnt that what silly little sheep say

"EA cuts more jobs", pure lies. I just saw an ad from EA: "Looking for sixty to seventy employees experienced in processing micro-transactions from paying customers". True story! Hehe.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss :D

I wouldn't care, the days where EA created the best games are gone! Need for Speed Underground and Most Wanted, Simcity 4 and SimAnt! They're all gone! All of it! They make this jobs losses like a good thing!

those higher ups made crap decisions and rushed everything and now the real hard working devs who work day and night while those them higher ups are in a fancy spa or whatever just enjoying themselves. why do the hardworking ones always have to pay, its time those jerks took a pay cut and no more damn bonuses.

Less than a month ago, gamespot had an article stating that EA decided to pay their interim executive $1.03 million as an annual salary with the possibility of a bonus at the end of his term. They're firing employees out of greed and little else.

As much as 10 percent? That is a literal decimation of the ranks!

The EA representative added "We kicked 3 newborn puppies, too. What now?"

Every time the CEO wants to have a special lunch he fires people and drinks tear tea...

They don't sound like higher-ups, so it's not really anything to feel happy about tbh.

Well , you know the saying is right.

If things are going easy , means youre going downhill...
