Redundancies are, unfortunately, a part of business. Sad as it is for people losing jobs, sometimes it has to happen. Business can be ruthless, but it doesn't necessarily equate to greed (which is a highly subjective term anyway). We don't know the exact reasons for these latest actions.

We can read a headline about profits, say "Oooh that's a big number" and decide they must be greedy because why not? But there's a bit more to it than that.

I'm not saying they aren't greedy, just that there's a lot we don't know. It's quite possible there's some EA executive somewhere thinking: "I really need another ivory back scratcher, let's fire some more staff."
