The Escapist has a statement from Electronic Arts confirming an unspecified number of layoffs at EA Salt Lake, developer of some Tiger Woods PGA Tour games and Sims 3 expansions among other things. "EA Salt Lake is becoming largely focused on mobile development, including The Sims and other projects. Recent shifts unfortunately resulted in the reduction of a few teams," the publisher said in a statement. "As we look to match skills with opportunities, some staff will be offered other positions at EA, while others will leave the company."
