 Battlefield Hardline players have earned $901 billion of in-game cash—enough to cover the United States' 2013 budget deficit—since the game was released on March 17. Publisher Electronic Arts revealed the number in a new infographic that shares some other impressive figures about the game. Overall, players have put in more than 2 billion minutes into Battlefield Hardline, or 3,800 years of game time. The law prevailed most of that time, with cops winning 52 percent of total of matches. Hotwire, a new mode to the Battlefield series in which players have to hold on to and drive vehicles to earn points for their team, was the most popular game mode. It was followed by Battlefield's traditional Conquest mode and Heist, another cops-and-criminals-themed mode in which players fight over bundles of cash. We recently learned that Battlefield Hardline has reduced the effectiveness of its deadly couch Easter egg vehicle, which certainly makes sense considering that so far it has killed 80,477 players. You can find all of these and more interesting figures about the game in the infographic below. While these numbers certainly seem big, EA has yet to release any actual sales figures or how many people are currently playing the game. In other Battlefield Hardline news, EA today confirmed that Steve Papoutsis, who's been at the publisher for 15 years and worked on the Dead Space franchise and Battlefield Hardline, has left the company.

 15-year Electronic Arts veteran Steve Papoutsis, who worked on the Dead Space franchise and most recently Battlefield Hardline, has left the company. He was the general manager of Visceral Games.  EA senior communications manager John Reseburg confirmed the move today. "I can confirm Steve is no longer with EA. We are thankful for Steve's many contributions to EA and wish him the best," he said. Thirteen-year EA veteran Scott Probst has taken over as general manager for Visceral. Reseburg also stressed that Visceral's work schedule will continue without interruption in the wake of the shakeup. "The Visceral team continues to be focused on new game content for Battlefield Hardline including expansion packs, as well as new development projects," he said. Kotaku first reported Papoutsis' departure from EA. It is unclear what Papoutsis, the former bassist for punk band No Use for a Name, will do next. Papoutsis' departure from EA and Visceral comes less than a month after the release of Hardline in mid-March.

- Will feature Direct X 12 support as well as AMD's TressFX as a means to "not only raise the bar in game performance but bring unrivalled visual fidelity to the Deus Ex franchise."
- Takes place in 2029, and continues the story of Adam Jensen from Human Revolution.
- Confirmed for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

 The upcoming physical PC version of Rockstar's open-world game Grand Theft Auto V will ship across seven DVDs. That's according to the image above, which appeared earlier today on Reddit.  The origins of the image are not immediately clear, though the ratings logo suggests it stems from an international market, not the United States. By comparison, 2008's GTA IV shipped across just two discs. Of course--at 65 GB--GTA V is a substantially larger game than GTA IV, which weighs in at 16 GB. Another picture of the PC edition of GTA V appeared on Twitter today. Presumably taken inside of a warehouse or retailer, the image shows off stacks and stacks of the game.
