EA Drops UK Quality Team, Leaves 40 Apex Legends Staffers In Limbo
Sources who talked with Insider Gaming under the condition of anonymity, stated: "Everything seemed to be heading to a normal renewal ready to tackle the next year of plans for Apex."Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) is set to dissolve its Apex Legends UK quality assurance (QA) team, impacting around 40 contracted workers.
艺电（纳斯达克股票代码：EA）将解散其Apex Legends英国质量保证（QA）团队，影响约40名合同工。
According to Insider Gaming, the decision was revealed during a 'Business Update' Zoom call, leaving managers unaware until informed by affected employees. Established in 2022, the UK team oversaw QA for Apex Legends from Season 16 onwards.
根据Insider Gaming的说法，该决定是在Zoom的 “业务更新” 电话会议上公布的，直到受影响的员工通知后，经理才知道这一点。英国团队成立于2022年，从第16赛季开始监督《Apex Legends》的质量保证。
Although the team reportedly met its performance targets, the non-renewal of contracts was attributed to a broader business restructuring rather than performance issues.
尽管据报道，该团队实现了绩效目标，但未续签合同归因于更广泛的业务重组，而不是绩效问题。
Sources who talked with Insider Gaming under the condition of anonymity, stated: "Everything seemed to be heading to a normal renewal ready to tackle the next year of plans for Apex."
在不愿透露姓名的情况下与Insider Gaming交谈的消息人士表示：“一切似乎都走向了正常的续约，为解决明年的Apex计划做好了准备。”
Affected individuals now face uncertainty in seeking new employment, with some contracts expiring imminently. Notably, this move does not appear linked to the prior layoff of 670 EA employees in late February.
受影响的人现在在寻找新工作时面临不确定性，一些合同即将到期。值得注意的是，此举似乎与EA在2月下旬裁员670名员工无关。
Last month, EA's CEO Andrew Wilson highlighted Apex Legends' substantial player base, hinting at future expansions beyond the battle royale genre.
上个月，EA首席执行官安德鲁·威尔逊强调了Apex Legends庞大的玩家群，暗示了大逃杀类型之外的未来扩展版。
