I wonder if those 600 people were from public relations?

Theyve been releasing the same sports games for years. Maybe people are finally starting to catch on...

Apparently not, because Madden NFL 09 is one of the big sellers.

Must be all that paid DLC that you can unlock just by playing the game.
Or maybe EA has over invested...this IS the company who tried to grab Rockstar and Epic is it not?

Maybe if they made their games with a higher quality. and actually provide support for said games after they are released, maybe people would buy their games.
... an original game never hurts either

Or how about Dead Space...
And let's not forget, they're one of the ONLY companies still in the RTS realm as far as series.
We still have Starcraft but no more Age of Empires.

I dont think it was EA who made spore. And theyre the only company making RTS games because theyve eaten up the other RTS companies. (rip westwood)

Spore was made by Maxis. Maxis is owned by EA.

Let's assume the 600 people on average make $ 100,000 a year.
Each quarter they cost the company 600 x 100000 x 1/4 = a mere $15,000,000.
Come on EA by my calculation, you need to fire 12,000 people to break even.

Wow that's a lot of people making $100,000 per year.

Here's the problem, joeybeast:
If 600 is ~6% of their workforce, how many employees work there? Hint: Fewer than the 12,000 you suggest firing.

Do you people have no sense of humor?

I'm not sure where EA's offices are but if it is on the coasts the people are most likely making more that $100,000. I read a story earlier today where cops in Vallejo California were making $150,000 a year. Figure in benefits such as health insurance and retirement and we are talking real money.
Most likely they needed to fire some people after buying up a lot of companies like Phillip said above. Every time two companies become one you can delete the overlap. Say CEOs, VPs, Accountants, Legal. And keep the talent such as designers, programmers, intellectual property.

EA needs to produce more titles like Dead Space. I was never a huge fan of the EA Sports titles. Not saying they are bad, just saying I never play them.

EA needs to appease the gamers, not piss us all off.
