Following word of layoffs at Black Box, Gamasutra reports that over 200 people have been affected by the massive job cuts at the Skate series developer.
The site points out that the studio’s 350-strong workforce has essentially been halved by the move. It was previously reported that EA would close the studio and move its staff to nearby office to work on associated franchises.
Meanwhile, in more bad news, The Orlando Sentinel reports that Madden developer EA Tiburon recently laid off an undisclosed number of employees.
EA has been implementing its cost-cutting strategy as of late, noting that it will reduce its workforce by 10%.
