"Created in 2003, our studio was built from the ground up. This fact makes EA Montreal unique within the EA family. In fact, the company was growing principally by acquiring smaller companies over the past 10-15 years. To this day, EA Montreal is the only EA studio where employees were recruited one by one. As of 2008, it employs close to 300 people (and more than 600 if you include EA Mobile staff!)."
