EA lays off various Visceral staff (UPDATE)
EA has just let go of some staff in the L.A. and Montreal studios of Visceral. No reason behind the layoffs were given. Hopefully EA will release an official statement later today to detail what exactly happened.
UPDATE - EA has put out a statement...
"Thousands of our existing employees have been retrained and redeployed to work on the new platforms and initiatives. But when it is not possible to redeploy a team, we soften the tough decisions with assistance," Gibeau said. "This week we let some people go in Los Angeles, Montreal as well as in some smaller locations. These are good people and we have offered outplacement services and severance packages to ease their transition to a new job."
