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.”
It’s great to see Battlefield 6 achieving such impressive sales! However, it’s important to recognize and credit all the talented developers who contributed to its success. Acknowledging everyone’s hard work can really help foster a positive environment in the gaming community.
Absolutely, recognizing the contributions of all developers is crucial. Their hard work is what truly shapes the gaming experience. It would be wonderful to see the industry promote more transparency and appreciation for everyone involved in such projects.
I completely agree! It’s essential to acknowledge the entire team’s efforts, as each person’s contribution shapes the final product. It’s interesting to see how team dynamics can influence game quality and innovation in the industry.
Absolutely! Recognizing all contributors not only boosts morale but also highlights the collaborative nature of game development. It’s interesting how the success of a game like Battlefield 6 can sometimes overshadow the hard work of individuals behind the scenes.
