			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Easy Studios is looking for a Monetization analyst!</p>
<p>Easy studios is a successful game studio focused on free online games. We are part of EA, one of the world’s biggest videogame publishers. The studio was founded by several game and web industry veterans, and today we are 70 employees developing and operating the game services Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free. On top of these we have several new unannounced titles in development. We have an international audience of millions of players, a multitude of great products live or in development and a fun, positive work environment with an eye firmly on the future.<br />
At Easy we are proud of working at the cutting edge of games – both in development and business models. Our focus is on pushing ourselves to innovate and spread our learnings to help EA transform into an online company and above all, to enjoy our work.</p>
<p><strong>Role overview</strong><br />
As a monetization analyst, you will have a key role in helping us understand and develop the business side of our online games. Among other things, you will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Work closely with game design and production teams to develop and tune monetization methods early in game development.</li>
<li>Design A/B/n testing of Monetization Features  Use internal proprietary tools designing, prototyping, and setting up game mechanics and menus supporting monetization in games</li>
<li>Maintain certain game features and make sure that they are represented properly throughout the game</li>
<li>Work on rules for reward systems and game achievements</li>
<li>Keep ahead of competing games, particularly focusing on new monetization strategies</li>
<li>Promote a culture of collaboration, accountability, innovation, entrepreneurship, and overall excellence</li>
<li>Manage changes and tweaks after the game goes live.</li>
<li>Collaborate with the Production team, Programmers, and Level designers in the design and the execution of the overall vision of the game</li>
</ul>
<p>An ideal candidate would have a business and/or engineering degree, with a deep passion for videogames and interest in online business models. You should be able to take initiatives around game features, analyze the outcome and present it to the game teams. This will require a strong curiosity about how a game might generate new revenue streams, along with critical thinking and the ability to verify your thinking with quantitative analysis.<br />
In this role you will develop a unique understanding of game business models and monetization, which is a key competence in the games industry as well as in the online world in general.</p>
<p>If this sounds interesting, please apply online with CV and cover letter at www.easystudios.se/jobs/ or by e-mail to jens.backbom@ea.com before March 31. We will review applications continuously.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One small step for man, one giant leap for laser-wielding Heroes. <strong><em>Battlefield Heroes™</em></strong>, the hit free-to-play arcade cartoon shooter from EASY &amp; EA, is blasting off to the moon with all-new space themed content. Players can strap on their moonboots and start bouncing around the moon map, ’Lunar Landing’. Using low gravity to traverse the environment and outsmart enemies, gamers can jump over objects and even base jump from a vantage point to take down the enemy faction and lead their team to victory. The ‘Lunar Landing’ map brings a whole new experience to <em>Battlefield Heroes</em>, fundamentally altering the traditional gameplay mechanics of the third-person shooter. To play the all new ‘Lunar Landing’ map, visit <a href="http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/">www.battlefieldheroes.com</a> and sign up to play for free.</p>
