Hopefully this brings us closer to EA losing the Star Wars contract.

Have you seen a decent Star Wars game in the last 5 years?
SW Battlefront 2 was pretty good but that was released back in 2017 and we haven’t seen much since then.
The Jedi Survivor was mid and the sequel also got lukewarm reviews from the SW gaming community.
Would love to see Sucker Punch studios make a SW game. The Ghost Of Tsushima was one of the greatest games ever made and their studio only had 160 employees during the games development.

tbh it's been a long time since I've played a Star Wars game. But that speaks to your point: if there were a great game, I probably would've been compelled to play it.

Is 300 a lot? I guess I think about big tech companies with thousands of employees. Idk if EA falls into that bucket

Sounds like they had ~13k employees last year. So it's a relatively small number.
A year after laying off five percent of its workforce - impacting 670 employees - EA has reportedly cut more than 300 additional jobs, as part of what it called "select changes" at the company.
