Layoffs Hit EA Tiburon?

[bucky60]

I thought CCM/CFM was suppose to save money? You would think for software that was on a yearly cycle that this would be accounted for. That the design team would have already started working on the next Madden while the programmers were still programming and testing.

I wonder if NBA2K and The Show does the same thing. Knowing Madden does it, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they do it as well.

They fired the Game Changers. Ha! j/k

It sucks those people have to tell their families they're out of jobs. If I lost my job I'd be devastated.

It's part of the business, I worked for a few tech companies (front office/management) in the past and it was always the same thing. You get done with a huge project and there is literally nothing to do. We would work Skeleton shifts (half the team works M/W the rest T/TH, training day on Friday) until the next project started. For me I was salaried so it didn't affect me but for the hourly guys it really took a toll on some of them.

Are you guys sure it's actually layoffs and not freelancers whose contracts ran out?

With todays job market, it appears we are gonna have a starvation death on our hands.

Guess this means they are they have the exclusive license locked up for a number of years. So they can afford to layoff employees and continue to take shortcuts and make minimal improvements to Madden.
