Yesterday we reported the unveiling of EA Spouse, the lady who uncovered a brutal policy at Electronic Arts of overworking their programmers developing games without pay. Now Gamasutra has word that a class-action lawsuit about the incident was won by the programmers and EA have to pay a $14.9 million settlement. Mere pocket change for the giant, but hopefully it’ll work out for everyone.

According to the new settlement, some of the entry level programmers will be reclassified as hourly workers, making them eligible for overtime pay. In return, they will be allowed a one time grant of restricted company stock, but will no longer receive stock options or bonuses.
