Erin Hoffman is an American game developer and blogger. She is best known for an (initially) anonymous blog post where her handle was EA Spouse. The post, originally made on November 11, 2004 to LiveJournal, sharply criticized the labor practices of Electronic Arts, was widely distributed within the industry, and led to changes in game industry labor practices. Hoffman has also been a co-director of the International Game Developers Association, and as of 2011 is a published fantasy author.
