Studio Boss Loss Spells Trouble EA
It's a humbling day for Electronic Arts today as three heads from its major development studios have upped and left the company.

BioWare Austin suffered the loss of VP Gordon Walton, although the studio asserts that it has not affected any development plans and that it's "business as usual" on that front. Walton leaves BioWare with work-in-progress MMO Star Wars The Old Republic still incomplete, in favour of a position at Playdom.

Meanwhile the COO of social gaming outfit Playfish, Sebastien de Halleux and technology lead Sami Lababidi are also said to have left. EA said that de Halleux will continue to work alongside the studio as a consultant.
