EA Shuts Down Ridgeline Games Studio
Thanks EA, seriously, you are a clown show. This is what you do to one of the most well respected Game Directors in the business? https://twitter.com/game_fabricator/status/1762971612977262814

Marcus Lehto recently made a personal decision to leave the project. To ensure our work continues uninterrupted, we immediately appointed leadership at Criterion to oversee our single-player work. As part of this change, we'll be winding down Ridgeline as a standalone studio in Seattle, with some team members joining Ripple Effect. They'll continue to work with teams across DICE, Ripple, and Criterion as they build the next Battlefield experience.

It still sounds like there was a disagreement between the leadership at Ridgeline studio and EA. Which resulted in EA closing the studio.
Honestly, I don't think there is any way that Marcus Lehto didn't know what was coming hence his quitting. Sad for those that have to find new jobs.
