Some reports also state that EA is shuttering its marketing offices in Belgium.

I'm willing to bet that the Montreal studio scene is competitive because of government subsidies.

Quebec is a vortex of corporate welfare and handouts, any recession on that front right now can be blamed on their stronger regional ties to the federal political opposition.
