Electronic Arts is reducing its workforce by six percent, company CEO Andrew Wilson has announced in a blog post. As The Wall Street Journal notes, while layoffs are sweeping the tech industry, this makes EA the first dedicated video game publisher to announce job cuts that would affect a significant number of people. (Microsoft recently laid off about 10,000 employees, including cuts to its gaming division, but it's not clear how many people specifically were affected.) While Wilson didn't specify how many workers will be impacted by the layoffs, a 2022 filing by the company said it had a workforce that was almost 13,000 strong.
