Talking point: Bioware reportedly had about 250 staff and McKay said the company will place as many laid-off workers as possible within EA’s other studios, adding there are a “significant” number of openings. (EA’s global careers website lists 14 in Edmonton.) The layoffs come three months after BioWare moved production of Star Wars: The Old Republic to boutique studio Broadsword along with most of the game’s roughly 70-person development team. Meanwhile, as my colleague Aleksandra reported in June 2022, 16 workers with Keywords, a firm that provided contract staff to Bioware, voted to unionize. EA did not answer The Logic’s question on whether the layoffs were related to the vote.
