Battlefield 6 is a big success for EA with more than 7 million copies sold, but the game’s launch has caused a stir in some circles. Veteran developer Marcus Lehto said the game failed to properly credit a number of developers who worked on it.
The Battlefield 6 credits list off a series of developers from Ridgeline Games, a studio that worked on Battlefield 6’s single-player campaign that EA opened and closed in the span of two years. Not everyone from the studio was credited, though, and Lehto said in a LinkedIn post that he was “disappointed” by this. Ridgeline helped lay the “foundation” for what Battlefield 6 would become, and everyone who worked on it deserves to be recognized, Lehto said.
“These talented developers worked tirelessly for 1 to 2.5 years, building the foundation of the game, before I left voluntarily and the studio was subsequently shuttered,” he said. “Despite their significant contributions, most who were laid off were relegated to a ‘Special Thanks’ section at the very end of the credits–and several were omitted entirely, including myself.”
