EA has revealed the hard news that more of their employees have been laid off, as the company continues to move towards new tech and mobile. In a post of their own site, they had this to say:
“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.”
Kotaku reports that at least 10% of EA’s total employees have been affected, yet EA has not given specifics on who.
This is yet another set of layoffs that comes after EA laid off staff in both April and February.
