EA Going Through a Round of Layoffs (Does Not Affect Ultima-Related Projects)

Note: We received this message from Jeff not long after I posted this article:

Thanks for checking! We’re all fine here. We got too much work to do. =)

EA released their 8-K today, which lays out a lot of things about EA’s direction. Among the direction, layoffs:

On May 7, 2012, EA management initiated a plan of restructuring (the “Plan”) to align the Company’s cost structure with its ongoing digital transformation. Under the Plan, EA anticipates reducing its workforce and incurring other costs. EA expects the majority of these actions to be completed by September 30, 2012.

While I may disagree with decisions made here and there by the UO team, and while I especially disagree with the +100 Shroud of Secrecy that cloaks UO’s future and direction, I do hope that everybody on the UO team is able to keep their jobs.
