What is promising? Replacing valuable, experienced employees with new employees who's work could be hit or miss? Sounds to me like EA doesn't know how to coordinate an effective Sims team. No offense, but there's nothing to be optimistic about
So they want 1000 new employees to replace their valuable, experience, employees, Is that possible, I don't think so. I do not care what type of degree they walk in with it will not replace years of dedicated experience + degrees.

The point is that there are many types of developers just like there is in a hospital where you wouldn’t like a medical doctor or a dentist to do heart surgery either. Look at http://creativeskillset.org/creative_industries/games/job_roles to see 12 different types of jobs in game development described.
Maybe EA needed more graphic artists instead of programmers or more programmers instead of game designers and producers or whatever. Even EA can’t give an experienced game developer a job which would have required this developer to have a different education.
