Gamasutra reports on the post-earnings conference call following up on EA's finacial reporting, where EA CEO John Riccitiello said of the 1500 jobs lost, saying: "these cuts are essential to transforming our company." Big Download has another tidbit from the call, saying that as part of their cost cutting EA has cancelled "over a dozen" games. Finally, G4tv.com's story on the call reports EA Games label head Frank Gibeau said a "revitalization" of the Medal of Honor franchise will be revealed soon.

Flatline

Total compensation for 2009...$6,365,823.00 Wow, that's even less than I thought. Not even 1/10th of what those laid off employees probably got in yearly pay and benefits. Of course in the gaming industry CEOs aren't really as overpaid as in other industries. EA says it will save 150 million to lay off 1500 people. So in 09 he made 4% of what those jobs made. It sucks, but the interesting thing is that EA is cutting that many jobs from in house devs, not places like Double Fine and 3rd parties that dev and EA justs publishes.
