Summary
Polygon reports that Electronic Arts Inc. laid off roughly 50 developers from teams tied to Battlefield following the commercial success of Battlefield 6, a decision that drew criticism given the CEO’s large compensation payout. The cuts affected development staff working on Battlefield-related projects rather than being broad corporate-wide reductions; exact office locations were not specified. The article frames the layoffs amid EA’s strong financial performance and CEO Andrew Wilson’s reported $38 million compensation, highlighting tensions between executive pay and staff reductions.
