Those of you who play Electronic Arts racing and/or sports games are used to seeing the EA Sports logo instead of the usual logo, and the differences between these will become even more apparent.
Managing Director Andrew Wilson has revealed that they were aligning their studios into two separate organizations: EA Entertainment and EA Sports. This essentially means that the two will no longer share the same budget, but instead will have their own and have more leeway to make their own decisions.
Along with these changes, of course, come internal shakeups, including Laura Miele’s move from EA’s Chief Operating Officer to President of EA Entertainment, Technology & Central Development. She will work closely with Respawn founder Vince Zampella and a few other executives to oversee DICE, Bioware. EA Motive, Respawn and other non-sports studios. Meanwhile, Cam Weber will continue to lead EA Sports. You can read regarding the many other changes in his post.
The name might be the most interesting aspect of this split, as the move from EA Games to EA Entertainment makes it seem like Electronic Arts has noticed the successes of The Witcher, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Arcane and the other game universes that have made the leap to the big screen or streaming services. Wilson doesn’t confirm this outright, however, so only time will tell if there’s more to this restructuring than meets the eye. Hopefully that doesn’t mean a lot of talented people will be laid off.
