EA's CEO gave Patrick Söderlund the boot after Battlefield V and his political stunt as well.
Tfw EA is secretly based.
Shockingly unusual to hear. It sounds like the kind of thing that results in a promotion since every stupid shit they do always leads to them failing upwards.
I was surprised as well. Technically Söderlund did "fall upwards" and became CEO of Embark studios, but they're small and practically unheard of.
A guy at his level doesn't really get fired though. It's more of a "I will pay you to stop fucking up my company" scenario. And that's what happened.
With Battlefield 6 coming around the corner, I'm very interested to see if it's good or bad.
