    I have no idea what the truth is. My guess is that it's a rumor...but you never know. Anyone have any better information or insight?

    Well it's probably not true...but interesting read none the less. I don't know who this guy at kotaku is, but he claims to have received emails from EA's head.

    Good times.

    Somebody at polycount.com who works at EALA reported that they shifted some employees over to Florida a couple months ago. Makes sense for EA, salaries are lower in FL than in CA.

    FL = Cheap wages (I think we are a step before something gets outsourced to mexico)

    I live there I should know :roll:

    EA is building up some large facility in Orlando from what I've heard. It's nice to see jobs coming this way.

    Florida does have cheap wages, but the cost of living depends on where you go now. Mainly the middle of bumfuck nowhere in FL is cheaper, but going anywhere near Orlando, Miami/Lauderdale, Tampa means expensive housing unless you move into a really bad neighborhood. Guess EA wants the tax breaks, there's quite a few given out like candy by bushes little brother.

    Thank god I'm moving out of this dump soon, FL is boring. D:
