The widely video game publisher, EA, is laying off 1,500 employees in order to restructure the company. This is due to poor third quarter earnings as well as the recent purchase of casual game developer Playfish. Playfish focuses mainly on games for social networking sites like Facebook. EA made the purchase for 250,000,000 dollars because they believe the gaming community is growing largely around simple, social, flash games. EA had a similar incident last year where the let go of over 1,000 employees by closing down their branch, Black Box studios.link to original picture
