In fairness, stock awards aren&#8217;t necessarily the same thing as cold, hard cash, and he couldn&#8217;t spend that half-a-mil EA is dropping on his bodyguards elsewhere if he wanted (at least, not without doing some very white-collar crime), but it&#8217;s still more money in the span of a year than I\u2014and chances are, you\u2014will ever see in a lifetime. Unless EA makes me CEO. My calendar&#8217;s open, EA.<\/p>\n<p>All the more galling: while Wilson&#8217;s compensation has shot up by $10 million in the last two fiscal years, comparing FY2025&#8217;s proxy statement against those of previous years reveals that the earnings of EA&#8217;s &#8220;median employee&#8221;\u2014full time, part-time, regular, and temporary, all taken together\u2014has declined in that time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1968px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:55.39%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"gy5HDrFrpMgdbrbC6X2sPo\" name=\"Screenshot 2025-06-27 at 15.49.23\" alt=\"A list detailing the compensation earned by EA's named executive officers in Fiscal Year 2025.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/eas-ceo-pulled-in-5-million-more-this-year-than-last-while-his-employees-took-home-the-least-money-theyve-made-since-2022.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1968\" height=\"1090\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: EA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In FY2023, the annual total compensation of yer median EA employee was $129,851. FY2024? Actually a bit higher: $148,704. But in the last fiscal year that&#8217;s cratered to $117,302, the lowest it&#8217;s been since FY2022 (when it was $115,569).<\/p>\n<p>As a ratio, that means Wilson earned 260 to 1, or 26,000%, what EA&#8217;s median employee earned in FY2025, up from 170 to 1 in FY2024. Hey, for comparison, the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/publication\/ceo-pay-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\">Economic Policy Institute<\/a> says that CEOs <em>in general<\/em>, not just the games industry, made 399 times what their employees did in 2021 (it was 20 to 1 in the &#8217;60s, by the by), so maybe Wilson is barely scraping by in his social circles.<\/p>\n<p>But seeing Wilson&#8217;s overall compensation shoot up by $10 million while his own staff are getting paid less in real terms? That&#8217;s a bitter pill to swallow, made all the more bitter by what a rotten time this is for the games industry, as layoff after layoff after layoff continues to batter the devs who make the games we love while execs never seem to face any consequences at all. If anything, they reap the rewards.<\/p>\n<p>At root, the problem isn&#8217;t Wilson or EA; they&#8217;re just an obvious example of it. The problem is a system which prioritises shareholder profit and executive compensation\u2014which have all long-since spiralled up to absurd amounts that no one could really ever spend in a lifetime\u2014over the health and happiness of the people doing the real work on the ground. How does that get fixed? Probably not in the final paragraph of this article, but it&#8217;s frustrating to see it play out again. And again. And again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"a780e48b-dcdd-49b2-a916-792c27538c40\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/eas-ceo-pulled-in-5-million-more-this-year-than-last-while-his-employees-took-home-the-least-money-theyve-made-since-2022.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"a780e48b-dcdd-49b2-a916-792c27538c40\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/eas-ceo-pulled-in-usd5-million-more-this-year-than-last-while-his-employees-took-home-the-least-money-theyve-made-since-2022\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tragic news: despite steering Electronic Arts as CEO since 2013, Andrew Wilson hasn&#8217;t had a pay rise in the last three years.
