Electronic Arts Cuts 400 Jobs and Shuts BioWare, Eliminating 3% of Staff

3 articles · Updated · Variety · Oct 21

Electronic Arts plans to eliminate about 400 jobs — roughly 3% of its workforce — and close BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
About 50 of those cuts will fall at BioWare, according to a person familiar with the nonpublic restructuring plans.
The move marks a major retrenchment for EA and ends the run of a long-standing roleplaying-game studio that produced two of gaming's best-known franchises.
