NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

This is like being super pissed the burger joint you loved closed down after letting a stranger convince you you didnt like it, but now you want the burger, but no matter how much you ask the taco stand to make a burger they can't get it right cuz you forgot SpongeBob LOVED making that burger.
So my understanding is that there are a few camps of savemasseffect- like the one Kala is on and did the billboard. THAT one is prodevs. The big petition is just a guy, and per the petition, just wants the game made, even if its another studio.
