EA’s Australian Studio Hit By Massive Layoffs

EA has begun a massive round of layoffs at its development studio FireMonkeys in Melbourne.

FireMonkeys, which was created in 2012 after EA merged IronMonkey Studios and FireMint, is one of the largest development houses in Australia. Focused exclusively on mobile development, the company is responsible for making Real Racing 3, as well as The Sims: Freeplay and Need for Speed: No Limits.
