EA will not cut jobs

EA has denied it will be cutting between 500 and 1000 jobs after rumours suggested the cuts after disappointing sales of Star Wars: The Old Republic and Battlefield 3.

In a statement to MCV, the company said "There are no lay-offs as such, we always have projects growing and morphing. At any given time there are new people coming in and others leaving. EA is growing and hiring and building teams to support the growing demand for digital games and services."

It was thought the publisher would make the cuts after a report from an ex-EA employee claimed the publisher had spent around $30million USD on marketing both products, but declining subscriptions and poor sales meant the marketing strategy hadn't worked.
