EA despide a 100 en Respawn 😓 Electronic Arts confirmó despidos en Respawn, el estudio detrás de Apex Legends y Star Wars Jedi. Unos 100 empleados afectados, en una nueva ola de recortes en la industria gaming.

Adiós al shooter de extracción Titanfall 🚫

¿Qué está pasando en EA? 😬

Afectados: marketing, atención al cliente y el equipo de "Experiencias".

Apex y EA Sports FC no rindieron 💸

EA lo ve como parte de una reestructuración hacia el "crecimiento futuro".

Dragon Age: Veilguard no tuvo la culpa 🐉
