“I Don’t Have Anything Positive to Say About EA,” Says Former Battlefield Director

It’s been a turbulent few years for the Battlefield franchise, and recent developments haven’t made things any smoother. Last month, it was announced that Marcus Lehto – general manager of Ridgeline Games, a studio formed to develop narrative-driven Battlefield campaigns – had left EA, and shortly afterward, it emerged that amidst EA’s mass layoffs, Ridgeline Games had been shuttered entirely.
Unsurprisingly, in the aftermath of those events, the aforementioned Lehto isn’t feeling too sunny about his time at Electronic Arts. Taking to Twitter, Lehto acknowledged that he hasn’t been “saying much” about EA, explaining that that’s because he doesn’t have “anything positive to say” about the company, about his departure, or about how his studio was affected by the company’s layoffs.
“Not been saying much here since I don’t have anything positive to say about EA, my recent departure, and how so many, including my team, are suffering due to the industry sweeping layoffs,” Lehto said. Interestingly enough, Lehto has also liked a tweet in response to his own that labels EA as “the epitome of corporate greed.”
At the time of Ridgeline Games’ closure, EA’s president of entertainment and technology Laura Miele said that Lehto had “made a personal decision to leave the project”, and that Criterion Games had now taken over future single-player Battlefield development.
Not been saying much here since I don’t have anything positive to say about EA, my recent departure, and how so many, including my team, are suffering due to the industry sweeping layoffs.

Next Mass Effect’s Development Team Leads Are “Trilogy Veterans,” Says Project Director
It’s been a long time since the glory days of the original Mass Effect trilogy, and though the series’ fanbase remains as strong and loud as it has ever been, there’s little doubt that the sci-fi franchise’s stock has fallen notably over the years, thanks in large part to the misstep that was Mass Effect: Andromeda. Series fans will, however, take solace in the fact that its next mainline instalment’s development is being led by veterans who’ve been working on the franchise for a long, long time.
