Hackers have stolen valuable information from Electronic Arts, one of the world's biggest video game publishers.

The attackers downloaded source code for the proprietary "Frostbite" game engine used as a base for high-profile games like FIFA, Madden, and Battlefield.

A company spokesperson says player data was not compromised.
