While Andrew Wilson didn?t confirm the news directly, several EA staffers confirmed to Gamedaily.biz that the CEO, along with other executives, declined a performance bonus for the 2019 fiscal year. Instead, that money went into a bonus pool intended to be distributed among employees all across the company.
Back in 2018, Wilson apparently received a bonus of $2.5 million. While it?s unknown how much he was due to receive, it appears as though he didn?t accept any part of it. It?s also apparently the second such move made by an EA exec in the past year. When Patrick Söderlund left the company in 2018, he took a $20 million bonus (meant to convince him to stay, evidently) and put it into a similar pool. This was supposedly meant to help EA hire more talent, among other things.
