After laying off Battlefield 6 developers, EA pays its CEO $38 million because Battlefield 6 did so well

https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/after-laying-off-battlefield-6-developers-ea-pays-its-ceo-usd38-million-because-battlefield-6-did-so-well/

> Remember when Battlefield 6 dropped in 2025 and it was a big hit, selling seven million copies in three days and becoming the first Battlefield game to outsell a competing Call of Duty? And then Electronic Arts rewarded the people who made it by laying off an undisclosed number of them? And also laid off the entire team working on an all-new, more story-focused game in the series?

"EA managed to act a little morose earlier this year when it forced Battlefield 6 studios into "realignment" and laid off workers, but it seems CEO Andrew Wilson is doing fine."

GamesRadar: Despite Battlefield 6 layoffs, EA paid its CEO 305x more than its average employee last year thanks to an $8 million bonus increase — and he could net another $125 million in severance as buyout looms #EA #ElectronicArts

Via libera della Commissione Europea all'acquisizione di Electronic Arts da parte del fondo saudita PIF per 55 miliardi di dollari. L'operazione resta in attesa dell'ultimo ok normativo. Decisione finale prevista per il 30 luglio.

I share the same sentiment around #EAFC27 and #EAFC overall...

The game has become boring. That magic of old is gone because they push #UltimateTeam above all else.

This year seems like the stroke that broke the camel back, and I expect a lot of fans skipping this year football game until it hits $20 or so in December.

This is interesting because Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is also involved in Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD)

There goes EA. While I appreciate the Saudis are trying to build a regional game hub, this will come with all kinds of "we're so cool" propaganda.

But, it's not a done deal yet.

~ не понимаю, что у них там такого изменилось спустя мою долгую паузу в этой игре, но теперь кажется, будто они отобрали у меня любой способ комфортно играть в эту игру. А играть на консоли с геймпада в Апекс для меня довольно тяжко. Ну... придётся ждать фикса, в который слабо верится, зная разработчиков. Либо перейти полноценно на консоль, но играть с болью. #ApexLegends #ElectronicArts #RespawnEntertainment
