Electronic Arts’ CEO has reportedly received a substantial compensation package, totaling $38 million. This figure represents an $8 million increase compared to the previous year’s earnings. The significant payout is said to be directly linked to the strong commercial performance of Battlefield 6, the latest installment in the popular shooter franchise.

This considerable remuneration package comes to light in the wake of earlier reports detailing job reductions that impacted developers involved in the creation of Battlefield 6. The situation draws attention to the notable disparity between executive compensation, tied to a game’s market success, and the employment stability of the teams responsible for its development. This report is based on information initially published by PCGamer.
