Maxis

A Twitter yesterday mentioned about job losses at EA Maxis studio, and now we have confirmation that there has been layoffs. EA’s Maxis studio is responsible for the Sims franchise and Spore.

“Often in the video game industry, the size of a studio fluctuates in response to business conditions,” Shacknews was told by Electronic Arts 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.”

We don’t know how many staff were cut. Our support goes out those that lost their jobs.
