Battlefield game director Marcus Lehto doesn’t have “anything positive” to say about EA after departing from the publisher’s Ridgeline Games earlier this year. Also known for being a co-creator of the original Halo while at Bungie, Lehto left EA and Ridgeline just as EA announced it was gutting 5% of its workforce alongside the full closure of the studio.
