Damn, EA is going all out with their FPS hires. They've got a bunch of big names from CoD and now they're grabbing up Halo folks. They're really trying to take the genre over.

They're trying to hire REAL PEOPLE, who have experience actually succeeding in the first-person shooter space, because they clearly didn't have anybody from about 2018 and before.

Nah, they have a very successful and talented team over in Sweden building the most technically impressive and ambitious MP shooter franchise out there.

Ever since EA allowed themselves to put DICE front and center, about 10 years, they've ceased being a top tier third-party publisher.

 

Activision, Ubisoft, Take-Two, Square-Enix have all leapfrogged them, hell even WB Games and Sega at this point seem to be surpassing them.

 

FIFA is openly talking out loud about demanding a doubling of their licensing fee, because EA has absolutely no leverage, since they need FIFA games to pay the bills.

 

They really are a shell of their former selves, at this point.
