EA Adding 300 Jobs In Austin
Electronic Arts is significantly expanding its Austin, Texas, operations, part of which involves building up a new EA Sports team.
The new team will support existing EA Sports studios located in Florida and Vancouver and isn't a shifting of resources from a downsized studio elsewhere, according to a report by Joystiq.
"Orlando's expanding, Burnaby's expanding, EA's growing," EA Sports COO Daryl Holt told the website. He also mentioned that the new development unit will start out focusing on HD platforms and later expand to "emerging" markets.
Does this mean that the company will manage to get an NBA game out this year?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
