U.S. Electronic Arts to wave 6% of its workforce

by Nada Ali

U.S. Video game company, Electronic Arts (EA) announced on Monday that it will be laying off about 800 jobs or 6 percent of its staff as part of a restructuring plan, and reducing office space.

As a result, the company will be focused on a handful of strategic priorities going forward: building games with large communities, making the most of those communities with social and creator tools, EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson said.

EA began informing employees of the layoffs earlier this quarter. Wilson said the publisher expects to continue informing affected employees into the early part of its next fiscal year, which begins April 1.
