EA Fires 5% of Its Staff

Posted by Zonk on from the when-games-stop-being-fun dept.

JorgeDeLaCancha writes "On the heels of the dispute between EA and Ubisoft, EA has recently announced the decision to fire five percent of their workforce, approximately 350 people. EA's recent announcement has nothing to do with game sales, but rather 'It's more reconciling the costs of learning new systems with what the needs of the new systems are.'"

    'It's more reconciling the costs of learning new systems with what the needs of the new systems are.'

    Could a grammar nazi out there please change the syntax from PR Babble to English?

    "You're fired."
