Publishing giant terms it to normal business fluctuations.



Going like a chain reaction, after Raven Software pink slipped some of its staff, publishing giant Electronic Arts also announced that they are letting go staff members from EA Maxis, the development team behind Spore.

"Often in the video game industry, the size of a studio fluctuates in response to business conditions," EA said in a prepared statement. "In this case, EA has taken action to reduce the workforce at Maxis as we focus the business and focus Maxis."

This is truly sad. We wish all the devs who have been made redundant all the best and hope that they land another job quickly.
