Marcus Lehto – co-creator of the Halo universe and former lead of the recently shuttered Ridgeline Games – says he doesn’t have “anything positive to say about EA”.
At the end of February, Lehto confirmed he had left EA “on my own accord”, and would now take time away from video games to work out “what, if anything, I want to do next”. The director later admitted feeling “gut-punched to see EA lay off my team. So many very talented devs who were incredibly valuable to the Battlefield franchise”.
In the latest statement posted to X/Twitter, Lehto simply said: “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”.
