Electronic Arts said it would lay off 1,500 workers by April 2010, alongside second fiscal quarter results that saw the publisher post a decrease in year-over-year revenues and a widening net loss of $391 million. About 1,300 of those layoffs are part of a wide-reaching restructuring plan that will include "the closure of several facilities." The move, which will cost EA between $130 million and $150 million, is expected to save $100 million annually (just over a fourth of what the company said it lost this quarter). Earlier today, the publisher announced it acquired social game publisher Playfish for $300 million. EA's $391 million quarterly loss represents a 26 percent increase over the $310 million loss in last year's second quarter. It comes as GAAP revenue dropped 12 percent year over year to $788 million.
