Gamasutra reports on layoffs at EA Montreal, which they have confirmed with EA after being tipped by a "source close to those affected." That source tells them "this may herald the closure of the EA Mobile branch based in Montreal," though this aspect of the story remains unconfirmed. The official statement from EA says a "small number of employees were impacted, and we are working closely with each of them to ensure the best transition possible" and "these changes do not impact our current development plans."
