Layoffs Have Started at EA Too, Reportedly

It's so funny watching so many western studios closing, after so many years of pushing identity politics and attacking gamers. Karma really is a bitch.
Me enjoying nothing but Asian games and the 1 in a million non woke Western game by random devs on Steam:

That $20 billion debt that EA has due to the Saudi Arabian private equity firm buyout has to be paid somehow. So cutting a few hundred people out of the 14k positions is a start.

Who wants to bet for how long EA will be around in this capacity? I have a feeling they'll be split into different entities and then sold off. Maybe they'll keep a few key IPs and sell off the rest.

That buyout is supposed to close this month, so we'll see what will happens.
Gonna be more than a few hundred to cover that. They have almost 15 thousand working on the books.
