PrivateBiscuit1 06/24/12 1:46:00 PM #16:	According to my friend who works for EA, he said that EA is already a lot closer to this than you'd think. He also says that it's normally the high-level decision makers who lose their jobs if a game or series (Like Need For Speed) does badly, and their team is usually spread out through the rest of the company. -- Xbox GT: PrivateBiscuit1 Down with Zhang.
