+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 26, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted August 26, 2009 EA has confirmed that it has laid-off staff members at Sims and Spore developer EA Maxis. “Often in the video game industry, the size of a studio fluctuates in response to business conditions,” read an official statement. “In this case, EA has taken action to reduce the workforce at Maxis as we focus the business and focus Maxis.” No word on the number of people affected. Thanks, Shack. Source: http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/26/ea-confirm...yoffs-at-maxis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hopefully it's the people working on The Sims 3 Expansions, then instead of 250 we might get that number down to around 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
