Must be a day that ends in 'y'.
Kotaku has reported that EA has laid off more staff ahead of its planned $55 billion USD sale to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake Partners, and Affinity Partners.
The outlet reports that remote staff in the USA alongside those in EA’s Hyderabad, India office have been laid off; it cites 12 “separate public postings from individuals impacted by the layoffs” as well.
Kotaku has also sighted an email to EA’s customer support team which alludes to the layoffs, stating the publisher will “adapt how we work to better meet fans’ changing needs”.
“As part of this evolution, we are making or proposing to make changes to some roles, creating new roles, and moving certain work to different teams, locations, or service partners,” the email continued.
A 22 July deadline for EU antitrust approval is EA’s next hurdle in its planned sale.
