According to CEO Andrew Wilson, the company has to prepare for the opportunities ahead and therefore, make deliberate changes to the marketing and publishing organization, the operations teams, and decrease its presence in Japan and Russia.
“This is a difficult day. The changes we’re making today will impact about 350 roles in our 9,000-person company. These are important but very hard decisions, and we do not take them lightly. We are friends and colleagues at EA, we appreciate and value everyone’s contributions, and we are doing everything we can to ensure we are looking after our people to help them through this period to find their next opportunity. This is our top priority.”
