"These are important but very hard decisions, and we do not take them lightly," it wrote, "We are friends and colleagues at EA, we appreciate and value everyone's contributions, and we are doing everything we can to ensure we are looking after our people to help them through this period to find their next opportunity. This is our top priority." The publisher noted that it would be attempting to find positions elsewhere in the company for employees, but would be providing severance to those losing their jobs. EA's announcement comes a little over a month after Activision Blizzard confirmed it would be laying off around 800 employees, despite CEO Bobby Kotick's assertions that the company's financial results in 2018 "were the best in our history".
