 Uh oh. Just, uh oh. Destructiod are reporting that lay-offs are on the way for employees of EA Mythic Studios, overseers of WARHAMMER ONLINE, DARK AGE OF CAMELOT and ULTIMA ONLINE. (source: actiontrip)
Apparently, new EA head honcho, John Riccitiello has ordered Mythic to cut costs and hack off non-essential employees. Read the full report and try not to wring your hands in a worried fashion while doing so. I couldn鈥檛. 鈥淎n internal email from a trustworthy source who wishes to remain anonymous reveals that John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts, has tasked every studio and company within the monolithic publisher with getting their rising costs in line with revenue, which in plain English means layoffs. The email from Mythic VP Rob Denton was sent to all employees of Mythic and details some of the plans to reduce costs by cutting jobs as well as some actions already taken.鈥
