Let's face it, gamers are generally less "social" than your average attention-whore or guido by nature - not saying you... of course you're a social butterfly, but you know, the other nerds out there. Anyway, let's agree that there is a large group of game lovers who scoff at the idea of constantly updating statuses, taking pictures of themselves in mirrors or food they're about to eat, and tweeting that they just took a poop... It's just not an association commonly made - or is it?
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
I just took a poop.
i think its because of the connections,if someone likes something big chances are thousands of other people are going to see it,its free publicity,who doesnt want it.
Also, it says "everybody and their dog has facebook"
Nobody I know (inc. me) has Facebook.
There we go.
My friends and I talk to each other face-to-face, it's real innovative stuff.
EA isn't the first company to grab facebook and certainly won't be the last.
Getting exclusive content, game deals free products. just for spreading EA's campaign ads everywhere. Sounds ok if you use faceBook in this day in age every little bit helps all you're giving up is you're integrity. But again it sure maximizes the the 60 dollar game to its max.
