Electronic Arts’s PopCap Games, which makes titles played on Facebook’s website, fired about 10 percent of its staff as it moves to address a consumer shift toward mobile and free-to-play games.

 

The company eliminated 50 jobs in North America and also is evaluating shuttering its Dublin, Ireland, studio unless it can improve profitability, co-founder John Vechey said today in an blog post to almost 500 employees.
