EA’s Credit Scandal, Remedy’s Shake-Up, and the Battle of Extraction Shooters S6E38

This week on the M2 Podcast, we cover a shake-up at Remedy Entertainment as longtime CEO Tero Virtala steps down just weeks after the studio’s profit warning following FBC: Firebreak’s disappointing sales. We also look at former Battlefield 6 creative director Marcus Lehto’s frustration with EA’s uneven crediting of Ridgeline Games’ former developers. Microsoft is once again teasing the future of Xbox — and it might blur the line between console and PC even further. And finally, Arc Raiders’ design director reflects on the coincidental overlap with Bungie’s Marathon playtests, calling it an unexpected “A/B test” for the future of the extraction shooter genre.0:00 Intro0:45 Updates10:20 Remedy CEO steps down https://tinyurl.com/y7uam277 18:30 Ridgeline Games creative director 'disappointed' in Battlefield 6 https://tinyurl.com/mpc7hr3a 31:15 Microsoft just teased the next Xbox https://tinyurl.com/46dfcsyh 39:30 Arc Raiders designer compare and contrast Marathon https://tinyurl.com/363cn2rf56:15 OutroLeave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PODCAST ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcastAMAZON Music ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-PodcastAPPLE ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410BREAKER ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2CASTRO ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741GOOGLE ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==OVERCAST ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcastPOCKETCASTS ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6eRADIOPUBLIC ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4SPOTIFY ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87STICHER ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcastTUNEIN ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI#podcast JOIN THE DISCORD! ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6KyleHeath Socials:TIKTOK ►► https://www.tiktok.com/@mrjkheathTWITCH ►► https://www.twitch.tv/kyleheathTWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathYOUTUBE ►► https://www.youtube.com/MrJkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TIKTOK ►► https://www.tiktok.com/@madmikewilleatuTWITCH ►► https://www.twitch.tv/madmikewilleatu/aboutTWITTER ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatuYOUTUBE ►► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1MoIvzyMDvH_5Ta
