In Wake Of Pogo.com Acquisition, EA To Lay Off Staff

According to a company spokesman, the layoffs will come from the company's EA.com unit, as well as some unnamed game development studios. After the company's recent acquisition of pogo.com, it acknowledged that some consolidation of staff would probably be necessary. One source close to the company said the job cuts could take place later this week, but an Electronic Arts spokesman declined to comment on the timing.
