EA har ingen planer om at droppe deres fremtidige satstninger på gratis spil, men alligevel er det nu kommet frem at udgiveren har lukket deres tyske EA Phenomic-afdeling, der ellers havde stået for udviklingen af Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances.
Afdelingen rådede over cirka 60 ansatte, og i et interview med Games Industry lyder det:
"The decision to let people go is not something we take lightly and we are working to ensure that impacted employees are treated fairly and with respect for their contributions to EA, and with assistance to find other job opportunities."
