EA Games is being renamed EA Entertainment as part of a big internal shakeup.

A major reorganization is underway at Electronic Arts. A message from CEO Andrew Wilson highlights a massive reorganization at EA that he says will "empower our creative teams."

This reorganization at Electronic Arts begins with the splitting of EA Games and EA Sports. EA Games will henceforth be named EA Entertainment. This seems like a clear indication that EA plans to expand beyond focusing on gaming in the years ahead.

EA Entertainment will be led by Laura Miele, who previously served as EA's chief operating officer. Miele's new title will be president of entertainment, technology, and central development at EA Entertainment. A title that just rolls right off the tongue.

EA Sports will continue to be led by Cam Weber. Both Weber and Miele will now have more freedom over each of their departments. This includes more freedom when it comes to budgeting and decision-making.

Andrew Wilson will remain CEO of Electronic Arts. He is who both Miele and Weber will report to should the need arise. There are some departures to make note of though. Chief experiences officer Chris Bruzzo is retiring. Chief financial officer Chris Suh is also parting ways from Electronic Arts. They will be replaced by David Tinson and Stuart Canfield respectively.

EA Sports will continue to focus on EA's sports titles both big and small. This includes the releases of Madden, NHL, the upcoming College Football, and the renamed EA Sports FC. EA Sports will also continue to take care of the F1 series, which just had its latest release, along with the PGA Tour games and Super Mega Baseball.

EA Entertainment will include studios like DICE, Respawn Entertainment, Ripple Effect, Ridgeline Games, Full Circle, Motive Studio, and BioWare. EA Entertainment will also be in charge of overseeing the EA Originals titles.

What does this mean for you and me? Probably nothing. These internal moves will give studios a bit more control over their own projects. They're still all going to be under the Electronic Arts umbrella. The people leading individual studios are still there leading their individual studios. At best we may see games come out years from now that show some more of this expanded creative freedom.

The one thing that isn't known yet is whether or not this continued reorganization at EA will have any impact on non-executive employees. The last time we heard about any sort of internal shift at EA came earlier this month when news broke that Star Wars: The Old Republic development was moving from BioWare to Broadsword Online Games. Those developers that did not join Broadsword to continue development on Star Wars: The Old Republic were given the opportunity to find positions elsewhere at EA or be laid off. There has been no update on how many employees, if any, may have been laid off from that particular move.
