However, the US video game developer has had another around 20 job ads posted on its official website since last autumn.

EA in 2013 had almost 500 employees in Romania, thus ranking third among the largest gaming companies in the country by employee numbers, after French Ubisoft and Game Loft, each with around 1,000 people.

However, the company’s real headcount in Romania is likely to revolve around 1,500, given that part of the employees are leased from a personnel leasing company.

EA Romania in 2013 generated revenue worth above EUR20 million, up 30% on the year, according with Finance Ministry data. Romania’s largest gaming company both by employee numbers and revenue is Ubisoft. The local subsidiary of the French company in 2013 reached revenue worth EUR27 million for Ubisoft.
