There a sad and annoying rumor blowing that Electronic Arts may be cutting QA and customer support for Warhammer Online.
Here’s what we were told: 21 customer service employees, half of QA and all of the playtest group were let go. We followed up with EA for a statement regarding the matter.
EA’s corporate communications informed us that the publisher already announced a “cost-cutting initiative that includes facility closures and a headcount reduction,” impacting about 10% of employees. The company doesn’t plan to make any further announcements outside of its scheduled earnings report and can’t give particular information about facilities.
Let’s hope the recession is over soon.
