UPDATE 1-Electronic Arts cuts about a third of online staff
10/23/2001 2:40:00 PM

LOS ANGELES, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) , the No. 1 U.S. video game publisher, said on Tuesday it would lay off 200 to 250 people from its online unit in order to meet a previously announced goal of making its Internet operations profitable in fiscal 2003.
The cuts represent about one-third of the staff of EA.com, the online subsidiary of Redwood City, California-based Electronic Arts, a spokesman said.
"In order to match our schedule for profitability, we need to focus on the projects we believe have the greatest revenue potential," John Riccitiello, Electronic Arts' president and chief operating officer, said in an internal memo to staff obtained by Reuters.
It was not immediately clear if the cuts would mean the elimination of any of the offerings on the EA.com site.
Electronic Arts had 3,600 employees worldwide, according to the company's fact sheet.
EA.com was founded in August 1999 and launched in October 2000. It is a wholly-owned division of Electronic Arts. The site is the exclusive provider of games for the gaming channel on America Online, a unit of AOL Time Warner Inc. (AOL)
In February, EA.com acquired gaming site Pogo.com, a popular online gaming site that offers cash prizes for some of its games.
EA.com also launched two subscription services earlier this year, one for its sports games and one for its online multi-player games.
EA.com ranked No. 48 in the top-50 Web properties for September, according to monthly rankings published by Jupiter Media Metrix, with 7.8 million unique users. It had the second-highest average minutes spent per user per site for the month, at 306.2 minutes. AOL was first at about 500 minutes.
Shares in Electronic Arts were down 40 cents at $54.85 in afternoon trade on Nasdaq.
