Today we hear word that more of the 1,000 cuts announced back in December at Electronic Arts are about to hit.

From all that weāve gathered and seen over the past month or so, it looks like the cuts announced back in December are a trimming of most departments and studios, rather than deep cuts in any one place.
The publisher still plans to close nine studios, but the rest of those cuts will be across the board, weāre told. The rumored Blackbox cuts, for instance, are part of the studio consolidation happening in Burnaby, at EA Canada.
Weāve emailed a few folks at EA for comment, but with the person who usually comments on these stories herself laid off, thereās no telling when or if we will hear back.
