I doubt very much that anyone involved financially in Spore will lose any money. But, with luck, some of the people doing the actual work may see that EA is heading in a direction they themselves do not wish to go. |
It's not easy to just get a job in the games industry, even with experience you're competing against hundreds of other candidates and more and more are trying to get into it. So it's not as simple as just working for another publisher or developer, sometimes you need to take a job which might not be as good as you'd like but that'll open doors for you that would otherwise be closed. And I believe EA has minimum term contracts for their employees and I know they have contracts that prevent individuals from working with other members of their team at other companies for five years after leaving EA.
