Da EA fremlagde deres ambitiøse plan for et Battlefield-univers, hvor en række studier skulle arbejde side om side på forskellige dele af spillene, så indgik Marcus Lehto-studiet Ridgeline, og de har angiveligt været med til at skabe den narrative ramme.
Men Lehto forlod faktisk studiet, og derefter blev det lukket tilbage i 2024, mindre end to år efter det blev sat op - dette skete som en del af EA's større fyringsrunde, der endte med at påvirke 670 ansatte.
Men samtlige Ridgeline-ansatte arbejdede stadig på Battlefield 6, men det til trods er der ingen af disse navne at finde på spillets sluttekster. I et opslag på LinkedIn skriver Lehto følgende:
"I'm disappointed to see that many of my former teammates from Ridgeline Games were not properly credited in the recent release of Battlefield 6," he said in a post that included a list of names under the Ridgeline Games banner. 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. 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. Out of respect for my colleagues and the awesome work they poured into this project, I want to take a moment to properly recognize them — listing their names and roles as I would have preferred them to appear in the credits. Game development is a team effort, and every contributor deserves fair acknowledgment."
