If EA did this then someone at EA needs to be held accountable.

I supposed individuals related to purely coding and art assets that AREN'T pushing DEI crap might actually be worth saving. Otherwise, shutter the entire studio. They've been defunct since Andromeda and Anthem. They've had virtually only failures to their name since then. I mean my god, they're associated with multiple industry hallmark monumental failures and they've STILL managed to hide just how much money they lost developing Anthem despite being such a massive industry failure.
