Just days after cutting 1,500 jobs, Electronic Arts says it’s hiring and looking to add staff to “maintain capacity”.

Chief Financial Officer, Eric Brown, said at a BMO Capital Markets Digital Entertainment Conference that, “We will be hiring back positions in low-cost locations to maintain capacity.”

Part of the company’s strategy seems to be hiring and going overseas to low-cost areas, such as Asia. Most of the cuts were all made in North America.

Brown also spoke about the purchase of Playfish. He said that he believes the future is in digitally distributed games and in the revenue model for virtual goods and microtransactions.
