Electronic Arts To Cut Staff By 10% Next Year

The gaming world are not immune to the pressures of the recession.  Electronic Arts slashed 10% of its’ work force (1,000 jobs) which is an additional 4% from the 6% job loss they projected back in October. 
In the wake of these developments, the company has decided to put their focus on creating and improving hit games.  I know they have had some real success with NHL 09 which recently won the “Best Team Sports Game” prize at Spike TV’s Video Game Awards so hopefully, next year’s sports games are just as impressive.
